# Applying credit notes
In Loopit, credit notes can be applied to reduce the balance of an invoice. This is particularly useful when a customer has available credits from previous adjustments, refunds, or goodwill gestures.
### Viewing Available Credits
You can view a person’s or company’s available credits from their overview page.
### How to Apply Credit Notes to an Invoice
To apply a credit note to a specific invoice:
1. **Navigate to the Invoice Overview**\
Go to the invoice you want to apply the credit to.
2. **Click on "Apply Credits"**\
This button is available in the invoice action menu.
3. **Select the Credit Note**\
From the list of available credit notes, choose the one you want to apply.
4. **Enter the Amount to Apply**\
You can apply the full or partial value of the credit note, depending on what is available and what is needed to cover the invoice.
5. **Click "Apply Credit"**\
The credit will now be applied to the invoice. The invoice balance will be reduced accordingly.
