STORY BEHIND THE FEATURES
ODOO BEHAVIOUR
In Odoo, when a credit note is issued for a sales order, it automatically decreases the invoiced quantity of the related sales order line. This means that the system treats the credit note as if the product or service was never invoiced, which can affect reporting and invoicing accuracy.
CLUEDOO BEHAVIOUR
Cluedoo introduces a new option in Credit Notes allowing users to choose between Correction and Real modes:
- Correction: Follows Odoo’s standard logic, decreasing the invoiced quantity in the related sales order line.
- Real: Keeps the original invoiced quantity unchanged and instead creates an extra sales order line with a negative invoiced quantity, using the same engine as down payments.

This feature gives businesses control over how credit notes affect sales orders, ensuring accurate invoicing, better reporting, and clearer financial tracking.
