Debtors may sometimes be unhappy with their purchases and wish to claim a refund (allowance) from the supplier. Some reasons for this include poor quality goods, wrong colour, wrong size, overcharges, errors on the invoice, and so forth. The debtor then sends a debit note (D/N) to the trader in which the claim is made in respect of the goods returned or overcharge claimed . After investigation the supplier, if in agreement with the claim, issues a credit note (C/N) to the customer. One copy is sent to the debtor and the other is the source document for the entry in the business's Debtors Allowances Journal (DAJ) The DAJ is like a sales returns and overcharges journal.
