See the recorded product workflowWhat this document helps you record
An invoice adjustment reconciliation keeps reductions in the invoice amount distinct from money received. A credit can reduce an obligation without representing cash. Stripe's credit-note documentation makes that distinction explicit; your own credit approval and accounting treatment still need their proper records.
Start with the original document total on one currency and amount basis, then list each approved credit and each confirmed receipt allocation separately. The worksheet records adjustment identity, so a balance already net of a credit is not reduced by the same credit a second time.
The fictional invoice is USD 1,000, with an approved USD 100 credit and USD 600 cash allocated. The adjusted amount is USD 900 and USD 300 remains. If cash allocated were USD 1,000, USD 100 would require further review; the worksheet does not automatically authorize a refund.

How to complete the template
Fix the original basis
Record invoice ID, original total, currency and tax basis. List any additional debit changes or refunded receipts requiring a separate reconciliation rather than hiding them in the starting amount.
Trace adjustments and receipts separately
List approved credit IDs and their reasons. In a different section, list confirmed cash references and allocation evidence. Check each item was included once.
Resolve and label the balance
Subtract credits from the original, then compare allocated cash with that adjusted amount. Record remaining or excess cash, its owner and the next approved action.

Avoid this
Calling a credit payment received
A reduced invoice amount does not prove money arrived. Preserve the distinct evidence and settlement description.
Avoid this
Subtracting a credit twice
Do not use an already-netted total as the original and repeat the same credit deduction. Reconstruct a clearly documented starting basis.

Questions people usually have before changing the workflow.
Is a correction request sufficient credit evidence?
No. Record the actual approved adjustment and issued reference required by your process.
Does an excess mean refund immediately?
No. Confirm allocation, prior refunds and the agreed treatment before taking action.
What if credits exceed the original invoice?
The companion checker excludes that case. Review the adjustment scope and transaction records separately.
