Issued invoices can now be corrected under the same number

Fix errors in an issued invoice by reissuing it as a corrected version under the same number. Earlier versions are kept, in line with Japan's Electronic Bookkeeping Act.

Before#

To fix an issued invoice, you had to cancel it and reissue it under a new number.

What's new#

• Use Correct in the invoice details to enter a reason for the correction and edit the invoice. The number stays the same, and the version number goes up.
• "Corrected version" appears next to the title on the invoice, and a small note at the bottom states that it has been corrected (the version number, the correction date and the issue date of the previous version). The e-seal is reapplied with a new verification code.
• The status card shows the correction history (version, date, amount and reason), and you can download copies (PDF) of previous versions.
• If the amount, date, line items or company changes, the sales journal entry is automatically reversed and recreated. (Invoices in closed months can't be corrected.)
• Invoices with recorded payments can't be corrected.

Who it's for#

• Industries: small businesses and sole proprietors
• Screens: Quotes & Invoices > Invoices

How to use it#

1. Open the invoice from Quotes & Invoices > Invoices.
2. Choose Correct from More actions (⋯).
3. Enter the reason and the corrections, then click Correct.
