❑Issuing a Credit Memo.
•In most cases, the amount of the Receipt which was Refunded, originally represented a payment for one or more Invoices.
✓Unless the Refund was required because the Subscriber accidentally paid an Invoice twice, this amount still exists as an outstanding balance from one or more Invoices on the Subscriber's Account.
✓Therefore, when necessary [i.e., no additional Receipts are expected to pay for the outstanding Invoice(s)], one or more Credit Memos must be created and applied to (as payment for) those Invoice(s).
❖For a more detailed discussion of Credit Memos see the Credit Notes (for Invoices) chapter.
