What Is a Debit Memo?

A debit memo, in layman’s terms, is an indirect approach for a buyer in asking for a refund or a discount on its order or purchase. This happens when the products received are either partially damaged or simply the incorrect product they ordered. The buyer may ask for a full refund or keep the wrong product (if needed) and ask for a discount.

Either way, a debit memo is issued and the buyer is debiting its accounts payable to the seller. The seller in turn, if agrees to the memo, adjusts its accounts receivable for the discount.
