  - `salesTaxItemId` string — BILL-generated ID of the `SALES_TAX` item. The value begins with `0ii`. The tax rate is applied to all the credit memo line items set as taxable. You can set up a `SALES_TAX` percentage item with `POST /v3/classifications/items`.
  - `payToChartOfAccountId` string — BILL-generated ID of the chart of accounts used when the credit memo is applied to an invoice payment. The value begins with `0ca`.
  - `payToBankAccountId` string — BILL-generated ID of the bank account used when the credit memo is applied to an invoice payment. The value begins with `bac`. **Note**: You can set only one of `payToChartOfAccountId` or `payToBankAccountId`.
  - `classifications` object — General ledger classifications information for the credit memo
    - `accountingClassId` string — BILL-generated ID of the accounting class. The value begins with `cls`.

    - `jobId` string — BILL-generated ID of the job. The value begins with `job`.

    - `quantity` number — Credit memo line item unit quantity
    - `ratePercent` number — Credit memo line item rate percent. Use `ratePercent` to apply a discount or markup in your credit memo. BILL applies the `ratePercent` to the sum of the `amount` values of all the line items above the `ratePercent` line item. **Note**: Use a separate line item to set a `ratePercent` for the credit memo. Set the `ratePercent` line item as the final line item. Do not set `price` and `quantity` in the line item when you set `ratePercent`. For example, let's say you have two line items in a credit memo with an `amount` sum of `$150`. If you create a third line item with `ratePercent` set as `-10`, a 10% discount (`$15`) is applied to the `amount` sum of `$150`.
