Accounting for Credit Memo Application to Invoice

Summary:

Hi

The Accounting for credit memo creation is

Revenue Debit

Receivables Credit.

When i apply this Credit memo to an Invoice, the accounting is

Receivables Debit

Receivables Credit.

I understand the receivables debit entry while applying the credit memo but why the same account is getting credited.

Is this the expected behaviour?
