# GRA Number for Credit Note

Return Authorization Document for Credit Note

Often called:

- **RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization)** – Common in retail and manufacturing.
- **GRA (Goods Return Authorization)** – More typical in wholesale or distribution.

These are **pre-numbered documents** issued before the actual credit note is finalized. They serve as placeholders and authorization for goods to be returned, inspected, and eventually credited.
