What will happen if a company has to create a credit note for an already existing invoice before they started e-invoicing? e.g a business wants to raise a credit note for an initial invoice created in May.
For the current flow, credit notes are created based on already existing reference numbers for invoices created and sent to the MBS. This means that an invoice has to have existed on the platform for it to have a credit note created via the same route.
Since we won't be onboarding previous existing invoices before the e-invoicing started onto the platform, how do they then reference that invoice that was probably submitted to the FIRS manually? Is a business able to create a credit note to the FIRS without there being an already existing one via the SI/APP?
Ultimately, if they have to create a new invoice, how do they ensure this new credit note cancels both the previously existing invoice as well as the newly created invoice?
