Credit Note (initial draft)

Modelers

 

Here is the diagram I've worked on for

credit note. It is a lot different from 
invoice:

as far as I can tell it is structurally more 
like

a remittance than an invoice since it 
refers

not to goods, deliveries, payments, 
etc

but to references to other documents 
(invoices

remittances and statements, say). This 
can

be either to document level or line level 
of

the referenced document.

 

The way I have designed this draft is to 
use

a code (could be text) to describe the

type of document referenced since this

could be seen as documentation. An 
alternative

would be to have separate ASBIEs for 

invoice, statement, remittance, alternative 
at

line level (they already appear at document 

level). The relevant issue is that the 
amount

information of the credited document 
needs

to be supplied as well as the references 
to

the credited document (with ability to 
either

provide this information for the document 
as

a whole or just for a line).

 

Payment, Delivery, etc seems irrelevant 
but

we might need distinct 
CreditNoteTerms.

 

I'd say we need some iterations of 
this.

 

I'd also suggest we wait and see what 
the

remittance model looks like and perhaps deal 

with both 
together.

 

All the best
