credit memo

If a supplier owes money to a customer from a previous transaction, the supplier can send a credit memo through Ariba Buyer. A credit memo credits the customer's account for money owed in order to balance its account with the supplier. Credit memos act as adjustment documents if the supplier should come to owe the customer money through returned goods, over charges, or other situations.
