# Debit Note

> Increasing customer liability through debit notes.

## What is a Debit Note?

A **Debit Note** is a document issued by your business to a customer to increase the amount they owe. It serves as a supplementary invoice for costs not covered in the original billing.

### When to Use a Debit Note

* **Undercharged Invoices:** If a customer was accidentally billed for less than the agreed amount.
* **Post-Invoice Fees:** Adding shipping, handling, or administrative fees that were missed on the original invoice.
* **Price Adjustments:** When the price of a service increases after the initial invoice was issued, but before payment.

### Impact on Balances

Issuing a debit note will:

* **Increase** the customer's total outstanding balance.
* **Increase** your accounts receivable total.
* **Increase** your reported revenue for the period.

<Tip>
  Always provide a clear explanation in the description field of a Debit Note to avoid confusion and disputes with your customers.
