Description
This template mimics the layout of a traditional credit memo form and includes sections for customer details, credited items, quantities, unit prices, total amounts, and taxes. The template dynamically calculates the subtotal, sales tax, and total credit amount, and includes badges that summarize the credit reason and total value.
It supports dropdown-based reasons for credit (e.g., Damaged Goods, Overpayment, Return), file attachments (e.g., original invoice or signed approval), and digital signature fields for authorization. Values such as quantity × price, tax %, and grand total are automatically computed using embedded expressions, ensuring accuracy without manual entry.
