   ![Skærmbillede 2026-06-02 092607](https://helpdesk.rackbeat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sk%C3%A6rmbillede%202026-06-02%20092607.png?width=670&height=294&name=Sk%C3%A6rmbillede%202026-06-02%20092607.png)
6. **Book and send** - Click “**Book**”, then decide whether or not to send the credit note by email.

*Check the following options before confirming:*

- **Return to inventory**: Should the items go back to stock?
- Return items to stock on the **invoice date** instead of **today**?
- **Reason** for credit note.
