# New credit memo

## What the Screen Is For

Issue a reduction against selected billed lines and release receipt money where necessary.

## What It Shows and Lets People Do

The memo editor selects billing and reduction amounts and issues the reduction through its issue dialog. Released receipt value remains available on its receipt; refund is a separate workflow.

## States and Errors

Submission creates an issued memo rather than a draft. Refusals identify the invalid line or reduction limit.

## Patterns It Must Respect

The frontmatter names the components and layout actually used. Confirmation behavior is action-specific, including inline review and direct submission where implemented. The contract records the current console behavior without declaring an approved visual baseline.
