Understanding the Correction Invoice Process
Overview
This documentation provides the expected behavior in the transaction lines for the correction invoice process. This guide is designed to help you understand the behavior of correction invoices, ensuring clarity in financial adjustments and maintaining consistency in your invoicing processes.
Correction Invoice - Increase in Quantity (Inventory Item)
For this example, the invoice contains a single line item at the line level. The item is a standard inventory product with a quantity of 10. A correction will be made to increase the quantity to 15.
Table 1 - Original Invoice
Item | Quantity | Rate | Amount | UU_ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Regular inventory 1 | 10 | 300 | 3000 | 1738822144778150 |
Table 2 - Correction Invoice
Item | Quantity | Rate | Amount | Correction Original Invoice | UU_ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Non-inventory (substitute) | -10 | -300 | -3000 | Regular inventory 1 | 1738822144778150 |
Non-inventory (substitute) | 15 | 300 | 4500 | Regular inventory 1 | 1738822144778150 |
An invoice transaction will be created for this scenario. The correction invoice reverses the original invoice by negating all line items, effectively bringing the previous invoice's total to zero. Subsequently, the updated details are added as a new line with positive amounts, reflecting the corrected values accurately.

Table 4 - Inventory Adjustment
Item | Adjust Qty. By |
|---|---|
Regular Inventory 1 | -5 |
Since the invoice quantity is increased by 5, the corresponding inventory must be reduced by the same amount. As a result, an inventory adjustment is created to reflect the decrease in available inventory.
Correction Invoice - Decrease in Quantity (Inventory Item)
For this example, the invoice contains a single line item at the line level. The item is a standard inventory product with a quantity of 10. A correction will be made to decrease the quantity to 7.
Table 1 - Original Invoice
Item | Quantity | Rate | Amount | UU_ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Regular inventory 1 | 10 | 500 | 5000 | 1738824053127290 |
Table 2 - Correction Invoice
Item | Quantity | Rate | Amount | Correction Original Invoice | UU_ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Non-inventory (substitute) | 10 | 500 | 5000 | Regular inventory 1 | 1738824053127290 |
Non-inventory (substitute) | -7 | -500 | -3500 | Regular inventory 1 | 1738824053127290 |
Since this adjustment represents a decrease, a credit memo transaction will be created for this scenario. The correction process involves reversing the original invoice by duplicating its line items and converting their amounts to positive values, effectively nullifying the previous invoice's total. Afterward, the updated details are added as a new line with negative amounts, accurately reflecting the necessary adjustments.

Table 4 - Inventory Adjustment
Item | Adjust Qty. By |
|---|---|
Regular Inventory 1 | 3 |
Since the invoice quantity is decreased by 3, the corresponding inventory must be increased by the same amount to reflect the return of inventory. Consequently, an inventory adjustment is created to accurately reflect the increase in available stock.
