Credit/debit memos are to be included in the next release. There is also
something called credit/debit invoice. I am not sure what the difference
really is between the 2 (no docs yet, nor enough time to play) but they
both have the ability to be printed. They are already in the devel version
but you need to be a subscriber to have acccess to it at this point in time.
