# Credit notes

In Powerall, you can easily credit a sales invoice when, for example, you have made a mistake or the delivered parts are returned.

When crediting, the system automatically posts the amounts back to the correct general ledger account. The credit invoice and the sales invoice are also offset against each other.

When crediting, you can choose from the following options:

* **Credit only:** a credit invoice is automatically created. The original orders remain unchanged
* **Change Partner:** the sales invoice is credited. The Partner on the order is changed, automatically creating a new sales invoice with the new Partner
* **Reopen orders:** the sales invoice is credited. Associated orders are reopened, allowing you as a user to modify the orders yourself and invoice them again. This option offers maximum flexibility for you as a user to correct any errors on the order and invoice them again.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.powerall.app/en/accounts-receivable/sales-invoices/credit-notes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
