creditable invoices

Credit memos can only be credited (to the debtor's account) if there are sufficient invoices (owed by the debtor) against which the credit memos can be offset. Example, I order 1000 widgets for EUR 1,000 on credit. I return 300 as defective and get a EUR 300 credit. I have an invoice payable for EUR 1,000 and can be credited EUR 300 for the returned merchandise.

The last part says or if there is a sufficient debit balance in the account (against which the credit memos can be posted.

Bottom line is they will not allow the existence of any accounts receivable with credit balances (kreditorische Debitoren). There must be sufficient debits (amounts due from the customer) against which the credit memos can be offset.

accounting counter values

It looks like "accounting counter values" to me. (I would say values rather than amounts).
