Amend a VAT only invoice or credit note

Useful Info

When to use this

This creates an invoice which only contains VAT. This is used primarily for inter-company tax and/or to correct a mistake involving under or over charging VAT on a previously issued invoice.

Once you save the invoice, an associated sales order is created automatically and marked as completed.

Note: You can't enter VAT only invoices for the Cash Account.
