A correction note allows to correct data on a cost invoice previously received from a contractor and entered into the system. This document rectifies errors related to formal data such as buyer's information on the invoice

The correction note covers simple, less significant errors unrelated to the numerical values of items on the invoice, as well as the items themselves, such as:

  • Incorrect buyer's or seller's address,
  • Incorrect Tax Identification Number (VAT ID),
  • Incorrectly provided sales date, receipt date, payment term,
  • In the case of fuel purchase, an incorrect vehicle registration number,
  • Incorrect designation of goods or services.
Unlike in the case of a Credit Notes.

The correction note should be issued by the Buyer in two copies and handed over to the Seller.

To enable the option of issuing correction notes for documents, you need to go to Settings > Account Settings > Additional documents to issue

Descriptive data can also be corrected by the Seller, but it should be done using the Credit Note.
