# Refund of an Order Validated by Invoice

This only concerns users with the invoicing module adapted to French accounting. During the reimbursement process for an order validated in invoice, there are two distinct situations to consider:

**1. Full Refund**

Although rare, this situation can occur. If it occurs, do the following:

* Reopen the affected invoice.
* A credit note will be generated automatically.
* Enter the refund transaction.
* The original invoice will remain accessible but displayed with the status `Cancelled`.

**2. Partial refund**

Usually the result of a billing error, follow the steps below to issue a partial refund:

* Reopen the invoice to be corrected.
* Modify the services or adjust the prices according to the error noted.
* Then revalidate the order as an invoice.
* This results in the production of a credit note for the initial invoice and the creation of a new invoice which cancels and replaces the previous one.

#### Important Note: Be careful with reopening invoices

Reopening an invoice is a significant accounting transaction that results in an increase in the volume of entries in the sales journal. In fact, each reopening followed by an invoice revalidation can triple the number of accounting entries required. It is therefore advisable to limit these actions as much as possible. A good practice is to try to anticipate changes on orders before they are invoiced. To this end, settings are made available to you to defer automatic billing for a few days after the end of the service. This functionality allows you to make adjustments in advance and avoid repeated accounting operations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.yoplanning.support/en/yoplanning-academy/yoplanning-au-quotidien/paiement-et-transactions-sur-yoplanning/comment-effectuer-un-remboursement/remboursement-dune-commande-validee-en-facture.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
