====== Credit Memos - Legacy ======

Credit Memos are used to negate an invoiced amount. Credits are usually issued by the vendor and should be entered into Acquisitions after the original invoice has been finalized.

  - Enter a **Title/Description** to describe what the credit is for.
  - In the **Billed** column, enter the amount of the credit as a negative amount.
  - In the **Paid** column **enter the amount that you paid as a negative amount**.
    - The Billed and Paid amounts should be the same.
    - When you enter a negative amount in the Billed and Paid columns, the Save & Clear and Prorate buttons are greyed out and the Total amounts turn red.
  - Click **Close** to close and finalize the invoice or Save if you need to finish the invoice later. :!: Amounts will not expend until the invoice has been closed.

If you were to look at the fund details you would see the negative amount in red.
