When should CANCELLATION be used?

The operation type CANCELLATION is used when a commercial document needs to be invalidated. 

This applies in cases such as an incorrect amount or number of items, a duplicate issuance, or any other error identified after the commercial document has been created.

The incorrect record must be cancelled as a whole; individual entries cannot be cancelled independently.

To issue a CANCELLATION document in SIGN IT: 

  • create a Record of type INTENTION, followed by a

  • Record of type TRANSACTION with operation type CANCELLATION.  Here, you must reference both the ID of the INTENTION created in step 1 and the ID of the original TRANSACTION you want to cancel.

{
    "content": {
        "type": "TRANSACTION",
        "record": {
            "id": "{{recordIntentionIdB1}}"
        },
        "operation": {
            "type": "CANCELLATION",
          "record": {
              "id": "{{recordTransactionIdB0}}"
          }
        }
    }
}

A CANCELLATION is different from a CORRECTION, which is generally used for returns or refunds.

Although no formal legal deadline exists for cancelling a transaction, it is advisable to do so as promptly as possible.

Note: The cancelled document should be recorded as negative, non-taxable revenue in the next available VAT liquidation. fiskaly is not allowed to provide tax advice. For guidance on your specific situation, please consult your accountant.
