# Generate VAT purchase debit notes (AP504500)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> In this window, you can view the list of documents that were paid in full within the cash discount period and to which the system has applied a value-added tax reduced based on cash discounts.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

## Introduction

For these taxes, in the [VAT (TX205000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/vat/vat-windows/vat-tx205000/index.md) window, VAT has been selected in the **VAT type** field and **Reduces taxable amount on early payment** has been selected in the **Cash discount** field.

When you generate the VAT purchase credit notes, the system releases them, applies the cash discount amounts to the appropriate documents, and closes the documents.
