Generate Correction Instant Invoice

Explanation

This activity is used to correct an instant invoice which contains incorrect information by creating a correction invoice. You can only generate one correction invoice per instant invoice. However, if further corrections need to be made, the second correction invoice can be created as a correction of the first correction invoice instead of as a correction of the original invoice.

It is not possible to generate a correction invoice for an advance invoice.

Prerequisites

In order to perform this activity, the instant invoice which is to be corrected must be posted ( the invoice status must be PostedAuth, PaidPosted or PartlyPaidPosted).

System Effects

A new invoice with reference to the original instant invoice will be created. The new invoice would have the Correction Invoice check box selected to indicate that it is a correction invoice. The Correction Exists check box of the original instant invoice will be selected to indicate that a correction invoice is connected to it.
