This guide will help you understand the essential differences between invoice cancellation and reversal, two important processes in the proper management of financial documents. We will explore the necessary steps for each operation, as well as the conditions under which they should be applied, to ensure the accuracy and transparency of your financial transactions.

Reversal involves the complete cancellation of a previously issued invoice, replaced by a reversal invoice that indicates a full correction. This process is used when it is determined that an invoice was issued incorrectly or was invalid.

Cancellation refers to the process by which an invoice is annulled, and the corresponding amount no longer needs to be paid. Unlike reversal, cancellation may involve a partial revision of the invoice or a modification of the billed amounts without issuing a separate reversal invoice.

Both functions are essential for maintaining accurate and transparent financial transaction records and are regulated according to tax legislation.
 

Invoice Reversal

Invoice reversal represents the process by which a previously issued invoice is canceled or reversed. This may be necessary if there was an error on the invoice or if a transaction was canceled or not completed.

Invoice reversal may be required in the following situations:

• The invoice was issued for an incorrect amount.
• The invoice was issued to the wrong customer.
• The customer requested a return of the product or service, and a refund is due.
• The transaction was canceled or not completed.

To reverse an invoice, follow these steps:

1. Press the Menu button and go to Financial > Invoices.
2. Click the Actions button next to the invoice you wish to reverse, as shown in the image below:
3. Press Reversal. The system will generate the reversal invoice, essentially a mirror image of the original invoice.
    

Invoice Cancellation

❗The difference between reversal and cancellation is that reversal involves issuing a mirror invoice to correct an error, while cancellation completely removes the financial effects of the invoice.

If you want to cancel an invoice, follow these steps:

1. Press the Menu button and go to Financial > Invoices.
2. Click the Actions button next to the invoice you wish to cancel, as shown in the image below:
3. Press Cancel. The system will remove the invoice and mark it as canceled.

📌 Note: An invoice can only be canceled if it has not been sent to the client or entered into accounting. Therefore, the Cancel button is available in the system only for a period of 30 days.
