What it is

Reference Invoice ID is an invoice-issuer-assigned identifier for an invoice that affects charges as stated on a previous invoice. This occurs typically in the context of credits, refunds, or corrections where an adjustment is applied to a specific previously-issued billing document. This ID allows for direct lineage between adjustments and the original billing records.
