Creates an ad-hoc credit memo from a product rate plan charge. Zuora supports the creation of credit memos from any type of product rate plan charge. The charges can also have any amount and any charge model, except for discout charge models.
When credit memos are created from product rate plan charges, the specified amount with decimal places is now validated based on the decimal places supported by each currency.
You can create a credit memo only if you have the user permission. See Billing Roles for more information.
