How to Cancel an E-Invoice on Dashboard
Overview
Sometimes cancelling an e-invoice is inevitable.
Common situations include:
- Incorrect buyer information (e.g., wrong name, TIN, or address)
- Transaction was voided or order was cancelled after invoice issuance
- Duplicate e-invoice issued for the same transaction
- Wrong item description, quantity, or pricing submitted
- E-invoice was issued to the wrong party
- Customer does not require an e-invoice for the transaction
These scenarios require the e-invoice to be cancelled before it becomes a legally binding document.
Requirements
Before proceeding, ensure the following conditions are met:
- You have access to the E-Invoice Dashboard https://portal.xilnex.com/Integration/MalaysiaLHDNEInvoicing/EInvoiceDashboard/EInvoice
- The e-invoice was validated less than 72 hours ago
- The e-invoice status is "Valid" (if the status is invalid, use the Delete function instead)
