Corrective advance invoice
A corrective advance invoice is issued when an advance invoice needs to be corrected.
A correction may be required due to an incorrect advance payment amount, an incorrect VAT
rate, an incorrect contractor name, etc. Every incorrect value should be corrected and the
corrected document should then be delivered to the purchaser and entered in the accounts.
The information that must be included in this document is:
- seller and purchaser details
- the correction document number and the number of the advance invoice being corrected
- the correction date and the advance invoice date
- tables showing the values before and after correction
- the payment or refund method and due date
The reason for issuing the correction must also be provided.
How to issue a corrective advance invoice
A corrective advance invoice is issued in the same way as any other correction in
afaktury.pl.
A saved advance invoice appears in the list of advance documents. From there, click the C
symbol in the correction column. You can also open a correction while editing an advance
invoice by clicking Correct in the menu.
The corrective advance invoice will then open. All data in the template will be completed
automatically using the data from the advance invoice. The correction and corrected-document
numbers and dates will be entered, along with the seller and purchaser details. The table of
values before correction will also be populated from the advance invoice.
The next step is to create the after correction table and enter the correct values. In the
before correction table, click the C symbol beside each item to be corrected. These
items will appear in the table below, where you can make the changes. If the price or VAT rate
is incorrect, simply delete it and enter the correct value. If the advance payment is refunded
to the purchaser and the transaction is cancelled, enter 0 in the quantity column. Finally,
provide the reason for correction, as required by law. Accounting needs this information
to understand why the corrective advance invoice was issued.
Finally, save the correction. It will appear under document list > corrective advance invoices.
Corrective advance invoice as a PDF and printout
After saving a corrective advance invoice, you can open it as a PDF and print it. This can be
done from two places in the service.
Use the document operations or print column in the document list, or select Create PDF from
the menu while editing the document. Clicking either button opens a window where you can
select or clear additional information to be included in the document. For example, the PDF
can include a QR code identifying the document's origin, signature fields, the payment due
date, a date beside the payment deadline, the document status, payment history, and more.
In the same print window, you can also choose how many PDF copies to generate or request a
duplicate.
After selecting all options, confirm by clicking Create PDF. The final document will be
downloaded to your computer and can be printed.
PDF printouts are unlimited while your subscription is active.
Sending by e-mail as an electronic document
In addition to generating a PDF, you can send the corrective advance invoice to the contractor
by e-mail. Click Send from the document list or while editing the document. At the top of
the send window, enter the e-mail address to which the document should be sent.
Below this field, you can select or clear other information to appear in the PDF, including
signatures, status, and dates beside payment deadlines. The recipient will receive an e-mail
with a short message and the correction document as a PDF attachment.
The system suggests the message subject and content, but they can be changed under
Settings->e-mail settings. You can create message templates as needed and switch
between them when sending.
