How can I update company/customer details on an invoice?

Updated over 3 months ago

Updating company details on a (posted) invoice

💡 Have customer details (such as name, address, or VAT number) been updated after you’ve posted an invoice? You can still update these details on the invoice.

  • Update the customer details in Companies - Companies.

  • Go to Invoicing - Sales invoices and open the invoice where you want to refresh the company details.

  • Click the menu icon in the top right and select Save and update company data.

💡 When you then send or download the invoice, the updated details will be shown correctly on the document.

Wrong company linked to sales invoice/order

💡 If you accidentally selected the wrong company in a sales order or invoice, you will need to adjust the customer in the sales order/invoice.

💡 Has an eAD already been submitted in Douano for this shipment? First cancel it via Douano – eAD Shipments, under the Submitted tab.

💡 If excise duties for this sale have already been declared in Douano, you can no longer change the customer. In that case, you will need to issue a credit note (see next step).

💡 Are you using the EMCS plugin and has an eAD already been approved for this shipment? Then you cannot change the customer either. In this case, you also work with a credit note (see next step).

⇢ Follow the steps in this 👉 guide to select a new company in the sales order/invoice.

Issuing a credit note and creating a new order/invoice

💡 When the sales order can no longer be cancelled (excise duties declared or eAD approved), you must issue a credit note and take the goods back into stock. For this, follow Scenario 1 in this 👉 guide.

⚠️ Are you using the EMCS plugin and has an eAD already been requested/approved for this shipment? Then you must first request a Change of Destination for this eAD. You can follow this 👉 guide for that.
