Billing - Reversing invoices

In day-to-day billing operations, mistakes can occasionally occur—whether it’s an incorrect charge, a duplicated invoice, or a change that needs to be reflected after an invoice has already been issued. Because invoices form part of your financial records, they typically cannot be edited once finalised. Instead, they must be reversed and reissued correctly.

A reverse invoice is used to cancel out an existing invoice so that a corrected version can be created. This ensures your billing records remain accurate, compliant, and auditable.

In Utilmate, reversing an invoice is a controlled process designed to maintain data integrity while allowing you to fix errors efficiently. This guide will walk you through when you should reverse an invoice and how to complete the process step by step.
