2026-09-24Read more4 minutes
If you issue an incorrect invoice, first check whether the month has rolled over and if the recipient has verified it before deciding to void or issue a credit note. Getting the order wrong will require an extra trip.
Key Takeaways
- Errors discovered in the current month can typically be voided and reissued.
- Cross-month or already-verified invoices must be issued with a red-letter invoice in accordance with regulations.
- If an invoice is lost, retain the explanation and supporting documents for reference.
Each company's situation varies. Practical handling requires assessing current invoicing data, bank transactions, and tax authority requirements. For case-specific confirmation, please call186 1627 9952。
