Can I edit an invoice already submitted to SPV?

No. A submitted invoice can't be edited or deleted. You correct it via reversal + new invoice (for major errors) or a correction invoice (for adjustments).

When do I use a reversal vs. a correction invoice?

Identification errors (wrong client, duplicate) need a reversal + new invoice. Value/quantity adjustments on a valid invoice use a correction invoice.

How do I avoid doubling the error?

Classify the error first, then use the right method with correct references. Azuvio suggests the method, fills references and validates before resubmission.

Are correction documents resubmitted to SPV?

Yes. Both reversals and correction invoices are electronic invoices and are submitted to SPV, linked to the original document.

How to correct a wrongly issued invoice in e-Factura

An invoice submitted to SPV with wrong data can no longer be deleted. You correct it either with a reversal (cancellation) followed by a new invoice, or with a correction invoice, depending on the type of error.

This guide shows how to pick the right method and avoid turning one error into two.

How to correct correctly

Classify the error
Identification errors (wrong client, duplicate) usually need a reversal + new invoice. Value/quantity errors on a valid invoice can be handled with a correction invoice. The wrong method complicates things in SPV.
Reversal + new invoice for major errors
For an invoice issued to the wrong client or duplicated, issue a reversal invoice (negative values, reference to the original) and then the correct invoice to the right client. Both are submitted to SPV.
Correction invoice for adjustments
For price, quantity or discount adjustments on a valid invoice, issue a correction invoice that references the original and adjusts only the difference, not the whole value.
Do it all under control in Azuvio
Azuvio suggests the right method, generates the reversal or correction from the original invoice with references auto-filled, validates CIUS-RO and resubmits to SPV. One error stays one error, not three wrong documents.

Bottom line

Correct fixing starts with classifying the error: identification → reversal + new invoice; value → correction invoice. Clear links and validation before submission keep the situation under control.
