I have recently received an invoice from a supplier for some goods ordered which they omitted the discount on. I have enterred this onto my accounts system and have notified the supplier who has re-issued the invoice showing the correct discount.
The problem I have is that I now need to enter this revised invoice onto my system and remove the original incorrect invoice. Do I need a credit note from the supplier to cancel the original or will a letter from the supplier stating that the first invoice was incorrect be good enough?
The supplier reckons the letter is proof of "3rd party evidence supporting any correction on your system" is this correct and will the HMRC see it the same way?
