Example 3: Refund amount greater than calculated credit memo

This example demonstrates a refund of $100, which exceeds the calculated credit memo of $74.2, with the outstanding balance written off.

In this example, based on the business policy, you have decided to refund $100.0 to the end customer. Among the $100 refund, $74.2 is for the unconsumed subscription period, and $25.8 is for the compensation to the end customer agreed upon between you and the end customer.

The following table shows that you specify this refund of $100, greater than the calculated credit memo of $74.2, and choose to write off the outstanding balance of the invoice.

The result is: the refund of $100 is unapplied from the original payment of $100, so the payment amount applied to the invoice becomes $0. Besides credit memo 1 of $74.2 for the unconsumed subscription period, credit memo 2 of $25.8 to write off the outstanding balance of the invoice is also automatically generated and applied to the invoice.
