Debit Note

A debit note is a document that records a debt owed by a customer to a business. It is typically issued when a customer makes a purchase on credit and is used to track the payment due date.

Here are some of the key points regarding debit notes:

Essentially:

• A debit note is a demand for payment in the future
• It is not a credit document, unlike a credit note issued by a business to a customer
• It is commonly used in countries like the UK and Australia

Key information:

• Customer name: The name of the customer who owes the debt.
• Company name: The name of the business that issued the debit note.
• Date: The date on which the debit note is issued.
• Reference number: A unique reference number for the debit note.
• Description: A description of the goods or services that are being paid for.
• Total amount: The total amount owed by the customer.
• Payment due date: The date on which the payment is due.

Common uses:

• Recording purchases made on credit
• Tracking payment due dates
• Invoicing customers for services

Additional notes:

• Debit notes are typically issued in paper form, although electronic debit notes (e-DNs) are becoming increasingly common.
• The specific format and content of a debit note can vary depending on the country and industry.
• It is important to ensure that the information on a debit note is accurate and up-to-date.
