Balance due of an credit memo is reduced from (-ve) value to zero. It means credit memo is fully applied to an invoice

Once credit memo is applied to an invoice, re-create accounting

This will add two more accounting entries to the above list

Receivable account - DR
Receivable account - CR

In this instance, three accounting entries for receivables account (CR, DR, CR). Finally, receivables account is credited for customer returns

Ex: Invoice value - 100 USD

Revenue - 100 USD - CR
Receivables - 100 USD - DR


Ex: Credit memo value - 30 USD

Revenue - 30 USD - DR
Receivables - 30 USD - CR


GL account balances

Revenue - CR (100 USD), DR (30 USD) = 70 USD
Receivables - DR (30 USD), CR (100 USD) = 70 USD
