Cancel an e-invoice within 24 hours

Updated 15 Oct 20262 min readFor accountantsAll plans

The IRP allows an IRN to be cancelled within 24 hours of generation. After that, correct the sale with a credit note instead.

Step by step

  1. Open the invoice

    Open the invoice from Sales → Invoices. The IRN panel shows how much of the 24-hour window is left.

  2. Click Cancel IRN

    Pick the reason (duplicate, data entry mistake, order cancelled or other) and add a short remark.

  3. Confirm

    The IRP cancels the IRN and any e-way bill made from it. The invoice is marked cancelled; its number can't be used again.

After 24 hours the IRP does not allow cancellation. Raise a credit note against the invoice; Moharbill generates its IRN too.
