Have you sent an invoice that turned out to be incorrect? Or does an invoice need to be canceled for another reason? In TimeChimp, you can easily create a credit note for an existing invoice.

The original invoice you sent can no longer be modified; this is a legal requirement from the Tax Authorities (Belastingdienst):

Creating a credit note in TimeChimp

In TimeChimp, you can easily create a credit note for an existing invoice.

This 'neutralizes' the original invoice. A credit invoice is created that credits the full amount, bringing the balance of the invoice back to € 0.00.

  1. Go to Financial > Invoices.

  2. Find and open the invoice you want to credit.

  3. Click the Actions button in the top right corner.

  4. Choose the option Create credit note.

  5. Confirm your choice. A credit invoice (PDF) will now be created automatically.

The registered hours, expenses, and/or trips that were on the original invoice will be released again and will return to the 'open' status.

You can now create the new (correct) invoice!
