What is meant by a credit memo?

Answer Posted / c.madhava reddy

Credit memos are reversals of invoice when the vendor has
charged you for more quantity that he has sent.
Say vendor sent you 8 units of a good costing 10 rs each and
charged you for 10 units in the invoice , so we will enter
the original amount (rs 100) and then do a credit memo for 2
units * rs 10 = rs 20
so when he sends you the invoice the accounting entry will be
Gr/IR dr. 100
Vendor account cr 100
During credit memo it will be :
Vendor account dr 20
GR/IR account cr 20
In effect the vendor account has been debited by rs 20
because he charged you more during invoice.
