Developer notes
For the entire month of December we are going to invest our time in making Electronic Invocing for Italian companies more reliable to use. We received a lot of feedback and there are many small details that we need to look into.
For many people Electronic Invoicing is still a cryptic argument. In fact it is. That's why we wrote a detailed tutorial. Please read it before opening a ticket. This will help us to focus on constructive feedback and to deliver updates faster.

Summary
In this release we add a new feature that has been requested by many of you. From now one you can create Credit Notes based Invoice Items! Let's see how it works.
First off use the existing checkboxes to select the items you want to refund with a credit note. Once done, expand the dropdown menu where you will find a new option named Generate Credit Note. As soon as you click it Billing Extension issues the credit note for the items you've just selected and redirects you to the newly created credit note.
Both invoice and credit note will be linked so that you can quickly review all the things involved in the process. The module informs you about all the documents involved and lets you open them on new pages.
To help you understanding how to issue credit notes, we published a new article in our documentation that we encourage you to read: Issuing Credit Notes.
- Issue Credit Notes based on Invoice Items
- Security check that makes sure that it's not possible to issue multiple credit notes for the same invoice items
