#Codex - connect CreditNote to refund
oak ravine
Hello, when you say it requires an integer quantity, are you seeing that in an error message somewhere?
bold stream
Yes, the message I get is: Request req_eE1jVVWDESgB34: quantityoramount is required when crediting an invoice line item.
In this case I would always have to use the quantity value?

That error message makes it seem like it, though our doc lists that parameter as optional https://stripe.com/docs/api/credit_notes/create#create_credit_note-lines-quantity
Looking in to if there is a way to make this call without passing that param
bold stream
Thank you. Yes I am wondering if the refund ID is already enough?
oak ravine
It should be enough to make the call. It looks like the lines parameter itself is optional. Have you tried making the call without it?

Hello, I tried without the lines parameter but it gave an error that it was required. So I tried with lines=[] just empty and it works for full refunds
However, for partial refunds, I get this error: Request req_65FEzRUvcuFSUr: The sum of credit amount, refund amount and out of band amount ($3.00) must equal the credit note amount ($2.40).
I inputted $3 to refund for that partial refund

Gotcha. Checking in to that error. Also I will make sure to file something about updating that section of the doc to reflect which fields are actually required vs not

Thank you. I do find myself confused with the needed parameters for properly issuing a credit note attached to a full refund vs. a partial refund
oak ravine
Still trying to figure this out. For reference, is the line item that you are refunding worth $2.40?
bold stream
No,the whole invoice is for around $20
But I just set the amount for the refund api to $3

Hey huge apologies, I dropped off this thread when the server got a bit busy and am still having trouble figuring out the proper way to make this call. I am reaching out to my colleagues now for advice and will get back to you with what we can find

Thank you

Can you tell me more about what you are trying to do here? I see that you were able to create a credit note like this while passing in quantity instead of amount but I am unclear on how that may not line up with what you are trying to do.
bold stream
Yes, If I pass in quantity that line up with the subscription quantity, the credit note works as intended
However, for partial refunds, where there is no quantity, but any amount that I can choose to return to the customer. Is there a way I can issue a credit note for a partial refund of any amount?

Going to jump in here, so roadrunner can work on the other active threads. @bold stream for the last request you posted I think the issue has to do with the currency conversion.
