Credit Memo Request Validation Agent

Every credit memo backed by evidence and the right amount

Credit Memo Request Validation Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Sales, support and customers ask for credits for returns, pricing errors and service issues, and credits issued without checks leak revenue. This agent checks each request before a credit is issued. It finds the original invoice, the contract or price list, any return receipt and the support ticket. It recalculates the right credit amount from the evidence and compares it to the request. If evidence is missing, it asks the requester for it and checks again once received. It looks for earlier credits on the same invoice line to catch duplicates. It then drafts the credit memo with the reason code and routes it for approval based on amount, with larger credits going to a manager. The approver always signs before a credit is issued. Edge case: two people ask for a credit on the same invoice line, so the agent catches the duplicate.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It recalculates the credit from source documents and only drafts it when evidence supports the amount.

  • Price error: credit the difference to the contract price only
  • Return: credit only units received back
  • Credits above $5,000: manager approval

An example run

What happensSales asked for a $3,200 credit on invoice 9921 for a pricing error. The contract showed the right price was $2.10 a unit, not $2.40, on 8,000 units, so the correct credit was $2,400. The evidence check failed at first because the contract page was missing; the rep sent it next day. The agent drafted the memo at $2,400, and the AR lead approved it.
