It is quite easy to use a LaTeX conditional (" \usepackage{ifthen} ")
to have your invoice.tex print "Credit Note" instead of "Invoice" if
the total at the bottom of the page is a negative amount.
I suppose that one would then need to print all the invoice's
negative quantities and values (of individual items) as positives,
too, but this is just as easy (fiddly, but not difficult, I think).
It won't affect the fact that "Invoice 42" for the returned items
shows on your system as "Apples, Qty: -1, Value -£50" but should
print out "Credit Note 42, Apples, Qty: 1, Value £50"
My invoice.tex uses conditionals and should point you in the right
direction - I'll sanitise it and post it shortly in reply to the "A
place for line-item notes on the invoice?" thread (as I have been
meaning to do for some days).
Stroller.
