DEBIT NOTE
A debit memorandum is another name for a debit note. It is a statement sent from a purchaser to a vendor requesting a refund for defective or faulty merchandise or services, or for the termination of a purchase. Prior to the provider issuing a credit note, the purchaser must first provide a debit note, which serves as a direct proposal for the provider to do so. See what is debit note and credit note
A buyer can send a debit note to the seller asking for a refund of the entire or a portion value of the previous payment. It might be the result of receiving defective or damaged items, canceling the purchase, or other exceptional circumstances.
