Sales Debit Note: A sales debit note is a document issued by a seller to a buyer to increase the amount owed on a previously issued invoice. It’s essentially a way to adjust an existing invoice upwards, often due to a change in price, a late fee, or other reasons.
Purpose: The main purpose of a sales debit note is to notify the buyer of a discrepancy or adjustment in the original invoice amount, requiring them to pay more than originally stated.
