Problem #

You need to change an invoice in the E-Invoicing addon module that you already exported to the e-invoicing service, or you see the following warning when you attempt to do so:

The system has already submitted this invoice for e-invoicing.

Cause #

After the system exports an invoice to the e-invoicing service, it treats that invoice as immutable. This is by design, and legal compliance requires it. Any edits that you make to the invoice in WHMCS do not change the e-invoice that the system already sent.

Solution #

To correct an exported invoice, do not edit the original. Instead, reissue it. When you cancel the original invoice and publish the corrected one, the addon module exports the corrected invoice to the e-invoicing service as a separate document.

If a credit note is appropriate, use the WHMCS Credit Note feature to reverse the original invoice.
