Click ‘Apply Credit’ on Action Bar * If credit note(s) do not fully cover the invoice amount then the ‘Amount to Pay’ column will show the value left to pay. * If credit note(s) fully cover the value of the invoice, the value in the ‘Amount to Pay’ column will be 0.00. * If credit note(s) exceed all invoices, "Amount to Pay", leftover credit will be shown as "Unused credit". * Credit notes will be applied to the Invoices from the top to bottom of the list.
