Debit Note:-

A debit note is actually a document which is used by a vendor to communicate to the buyer of the current debt obligations, or it is a document which is made by a buyer when returning the goods which were received on credit. The debit note can give data regarding a future invoice, or it may serve as an indication for funds which are due at present.
