Steps for a correct reversalDecide between reversal and correctionA reversal cancels a wrongly issued invoice (wrong client, duplicate, cancelled order). If you only adjust values/quantities, use a correction invoice. Pick the right type before issuing — otherwise you duplicate the error in SPV.Issue the reversal with negative amountsThe storno invoice takes the original lines with negative values and references the number and date of the corrected invoice, so both ANAF and your partner see the link clearly.Submit the reversal to SPV on timeA reversal invoice is itself an electronic invoice: submit it to SPV within the 5 working days. Not submitting it leaves an erroneous invoice with fiscal effects in the system.Automate linking and submission with AzuvioIn Azuvio a reversal is generated from the original invoice in one click, auto-fills references and negative values, validates CIUS-RO and submits to SPV with status tracking.
