Click the Export button at the top of the page.
Select the desired format for the export file (e.g., CSV or Excel).

How Credit Notes Work
Credit notes follow a defined lifecycle:
Product Returned or Order Cancelled: A credit note is issued when a product is returned or an order is cancelled.
Credit Notes Issued: The credit note is created in the system, associated with the original invoice.
Credits Generated: The credit amount is added to the customer's account.
Apply to Future Invoices: The credit can be applied to future invoices, reducing the payable balance for the customer.
Best Practices
Ensure credit notes are accurately linked to the corresponding invoice for proper reconciliation.
Regularly export credit note data to maintain a backup and streamline reporting.
Use filters and search options to quickly find and manage credit notes in the system.
