You might be well aware of the term statement or bill or bill of materials. An invoice is used to maintain a record of sales. So, what happens when there is a change in the value of those invoices. Will you go about editing those invoices? It does not make sense to do so. You have already generated the invoice and recorded those transactions in the journal. The only way out is to make additional entries that indicate a change in the original invoice value and provide a document for further proof of the actual value of the sale made. These documents are called credit and debit notes.
