Actually, you could find yourself doing some of both.
I happen to work with customers who would like to be invoiced for most credits, but they also take a lot of deductions "off invoice", like coupons and promo deals (10% off July purchases). If they want a credit invoice, you can do that and apply pmts as above, or if they say - "I'll just knock $50 off my next check.", you can do that also. You're covered either way, and you may find you want to treat some things one way and some things the other. Here's a small list of things I can think of you might see credits/debits for. Over ordered parts Wrong price billed Wrong amount shipped Broken merchandise Over ordered services Damaged in transit Coupons Promotional specials Volume discounts Double/multiple payments Do each as makes sense best to you.
