# Creating Credit Reasons

You can create *Credit Reasons* for your Organization, which you can then use when adding a credit for an existing bill line item or applying a product credit.

**To create a Credit Reason for your Organization:**

1. Select **Settings>Organization**. The **Organization** page opens with the **Overview** tab selected.
2. Select the **Credit reasons** tab. Any existing Credit Reasons are listed:

3. Select **Create credit reason**. The **Create** page opens.
4. Under **Credit reason details**, enter a **Name** and **Code**.

* **Archived** switch? See tip below on this option.

5. Select **Create**. You are returned to the **Credit reasons** tab where the new Credit Reason is listed:

* The new Credit Reason will now be available for adding credit line items to bills or applying product credits. See [Adding Credit Line Items to Bills](/guides/billing-and-usage-data/running-viewing-and-managing-bills/adding-credit-line-items-to-bills).

<Tip>
  **Tip: Credit Reason is now obsolete?** You can edit a Credit Reason and use the switch to **Archive** it. If you archive a Credit Reason, it will not be available for adding credit line items to bills.
