A chargeback invoice describes an invoice that allows you to minimized the amount of money you owe to service providers. When the amount on an invoice exceeds what is on the purchase order, a chargeback invoice is created and sent to the service provider. The created chargeback invoice would contain a reduction in the money owed to the supplier. Also, the exact reason for the reduction would be stated on the chargeback invoice. In essence, the chargeback invoice allows you to pay the extra amount owed before the service provider demands for it through a credit correspondence.
If, for instance, you agreed to buy 4 number of computers at the rate of $250 per item at a total of $1,000. After the items are supplied, you receive an invoice with a rate of $260 per item and a total of $1,040. You would produce a chargeback invoice of $40, which would account for the difference between the purchase order cost and the cost on the invoice. A generated chargeback invoice allows you to shift responsibility onto the service provider.
