Sales credit notes
Recording a payment on a credit note
Record a payment with its amount, date, reference and payment method.
Updated on October 7, 2026
Use this page to record financial settlement on a sales credit note, such as a refund or offset. You need access to the active administration and an active Billnado licence. Recording a payment does not execute a bank transfer.
Amounts and existing payments
The overview shows the total document amount including VAT, the recorded paid amount and the outstanding amount. Current payments lists previous amounts and payment dates. An empty list means that no payment has been recorded.
New payment
| Field or setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Payment Amount | The amount you are recording now. Billnado prefills the full outstanding amount; adjust it for a partial payment. A new entry must be at least 0.01. |
| Date | The date the payment or offset took place; today by default. |
| Reference | A note identifying the entry later, such as a bank reference. |
| Payment method | A configured payment method, such as transfer or cash. Leave it empty if the method is unknown. |
Record the payment
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Add payment | Saves the entry, recalculates payment status and opens the document details. Partial settlement gives a partially paid status; once the recorded total reaches the document amount, it is paid. |
| Reset | Appears after a change and restores the form with the outstanding amount and original values. |
| Cancel | Returns to the details without adding a payment. |
For a regular sales invoice or sales credit note, Billnado regenerates the document files. For self-billing, the supplied files are retained.
Important: check the amount, date and existing payments before saving. This page does not offer an action to change or delete an existing payment. Recording an amount is not proof that a bank transfer has taken place.
