Invoices that are already issued cannot be deleted, however, in certain cases adjustments might be needed.
Credit notes are issued to correct or adjust invoices and are used for various purposes, including:

-
Correcting errors: If there's an error on the original invoice, such as incorrect pricing, quantities, or terms, a credit note serves to correct it without canceling the entire invoice.
-
Applying discounts: A credit note can be used to apply additional discounts or adjustments after the original invoice was sent.
