Tutorial: Creating Credit Note
Demand reversal refers to the situation where a previously made demand is reversed or cancelled. This can happen for various reasons such as errors in invoicing, disputes with customers or changes in agreements. This is done via Credit Note and a new invoice may be generated for the correct amount or with the necessary changes. Demand reversal is a common practice in business transactions to rectify mistakes and ensure accurate financial records.
This can occur in two primary scenarios:
Scenario 1: If a demand (invoice) is mistakenly raised against a customer, a demand reversal entry is made to cancel that demand. This allows for the same demand to be raised against the same schedule/milestone in the future when it is appropriate.
Scenario 2: Another example of demand reversal occurs when a customer requests an extension of the payment date. By reversing the demand, the payment date can be extended, addressing the customer’s request.
