I have raised a credit note for a client and would like to allocate (pay) this against the invoice which is still showing as outstanding. Anyone have any ideas. ---

This will change but for the time being, create new `Journal Entry`. In journal entry: - debit account `Accounts receivable : Credit Note #1` - credit account `Accounts receivable : Sales Invoice #123` This will basically allocate credit note to sales invoice. ---

Hi Lubos Thanks for that. What I did instead was to delete the credit note that I had raised. Then I raised a negative invoice instead. I then paid both invoices into an unallocated funds account. ---
