    I do not have the Kaplan kit.

    However, unless there is more in the question then they are wrong.

    A credit note is simply a ‘negative’ invoice.

    (If later, they do repay cash to the customer, then later they will CR cash and DR receivables.)

    Yes it will (effectively it reduces the sales). But it will affect the current year (we can’t go back and change the previous year when the sales were made).
