  1. POST to /api.xro/2.0/CreditNotes with Type set to ACCREC (for accounts-receivable credit) and include the Contact, LineItems, and CurrencyCode matching the original invoice
  2. Submit the credit note for approval by setting Status to AUTHORISED in the same request or via a subsequent PUT
  3. Allocate the credit note against one or more invoices by POSTing to /api.xro/2.0/CreditNotes/{CreditNoteID}/Allocations with an array of allocation objects each containing InvoiceID and Amount
  4. Verify the allocation by retrieving the invoice via GET /api.xro/2.0/Invoices/{InvoiceID} and checking the AmountDue has decreased accordingly
  5. Handle partial allocations by repeating the allocation step across multiple invoices until the credit note RemainingCredit reaches zero
