Rectifying invoice

When you need one

• Incorrect information: wrong name, tax ID, address or description.
• Amounts miscalculated or the wrong VAT rate applied.
• Returns, discounts or rebates after the sale.
• Full cancellation of a transaction.

What it must include

• Its own numbering (normally a specific series for rectifying invoices).
• A reference to the original invoice: its number and date.
• The reason for the correction.
• The corrected information, or the amount (positive or negative) that adjusts the transaction.

Generally, you have up to four years to issue a correction; if the error harms the client, it's best to do it as soon as possible.

How Lúcido helps

Lúcido blocks editing of invoices that have already been issued so that no information changes by accident, and guides you through creating the rectifying invoice linked to the original.
