Your company can either issue a debit or a credit note to other compaies/entities.
This type of transactions is very popular in insurance companies by which they use this mechanism instead of invoicing clients (debit note) and granting credits to claims (credit note).
A debit note is a method of claiming costs paid by your company to suppliers or clients.
A credit note on the other hand is a way of reporting reversals or refunds you owe back to other parities.
Both debit and credit notes use rather expense accounts and inventories transferred that are either credits or debits depending on the type of transaction you are making and transferring to other copmanies.
This could be also used between a mother company and a subsidiary.

There are a lots of use for both , BUT the well known use in most of company when you just mention debit THAT lead you to Accounts receivable BUT when you mention Credit THAT lead you to Accounts Payable , Also you must take in your thinking that they are a lots of use them in others sections like Bank / Gl / Supply chian / Inventory ...according of the need to these transaction, And for the accounting procdures for DEBIT in receivable , you will reverse the nature of AR to be credit instead of debit and the other accounts it depends according to aim for your debit But CREDIT in payable , you will reverse the nature of AP to be Debit instead of credit and the other accounts it depends according to aim for your credit.
