# New debit memo

## What the Screen Is For

Issue additional charges against existing billing with their tax determination.

## What It Shows and Lets People Do

Staff choose the billed document and additional charge rows, then use the issue dialog. The service computes tax for those added charges.

## States and Errors

Creation returns an issued memo. Invalid charge or accounting context is reported by the service.

## 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.
