Debit Note:When goods are received from the supplier, the supplier account is credited.When goods are returned the supplier account is debited, so in case of purchase returns a debit note is prepared. It should contain all the details of purchase returns.Generally a debit note will be made in duplicate, one will be sent to the customer and other will be kept as office copy.
Credit Note: It is a statement sent by the seller to his customer intimating that, his account has been credited with the amount of goods return by him or any other allowances granted to him.
