What is the difference between the credit memo and Debit memo?

Answer Posted / shridevi.hiremath

Credit memo: A sales document created on the basis of a
customer complaint. This reduces receivables in Financial
Accounting.

Debit memo: A sales document created on the basis of a
customer complaint. This increases receivables in Financial
Accounting.

You may need to create credit memos for various reasons (for
example, because of defective goods or because you have
overcharged a customer). Similarly, you may need to create a
debit memo, if, for example, you have not charged the
customer enough.
