Cancel or Undo Cancellation of IRN/e-Invoice

If you have generated an IRN/e-Invoice and need to cancel it due to changes or order cancellation, then you can do it within 24 hours. If cancelled by mistake or after the deadline, you can undo the cancellation in TallyPrime. Once undone, the voucher’s cancellation details are cleared, and it returns to its original section in the report, allowing you to take further action as needed.

Cancel IRN/e-Invoice

Sometimes, you may need to cancel an IRN/e-Invoice after it’s generated, such as when item rates change or an order is cancelled. As per regulations, this must be done within 24 hours of IRN generation.

Step 1: Cancel e-Invoice in TallyPrime

1. Press Alt+G (Go To) > type or select e-Invoice > press Enter.
   Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Display More Reports > GST Reports > e-Invoice > press Enter.

   
2. Drill down from the IRN generated from e-Invoice system section to open the e-Invoice – Voucher Register screen.
   
3. Select the voucher for which e-invoice needs to be cancelled, and press F10 (Cancel IRN).
   

   Press Ctrl+F10 (Mark as Cancelled) when the e-invoice is cancelled through some other medium on IRP, and you want to update the status in TallyPrime. When you mark the IRN as cancelled, then this invoice will appear in the Marked as IRN Cancelled section under IRN Cancelled, instead of the For IRN Cancellation section under Pending.

   
   
   1. Select the Reason for cancellation and enter the Remarks.
   2. As always, press Ctrl+A to save the details.
      The voucher will move to the For IRN Cancellation section under Pending.

Step 2: Update Cancellation of e-Invoice on Portal

1. Press Alt+Z (Exchange) > Send for e-Invoicing.
   In the Send for e-Invoicing screen, you can view the transactions that are pending for generation and cancellation.

   

2. Select the required transaction and press S (Send) to send the details.
   If you press S without selecting any transaction, then all the transactions will be sent for e-invoicing.Note: If you are using the multiple GST registrations feature in TallyPrime Release 3.0 or later versions and e-Invoicing is applicable in more than one GST registrations, then you can select the vouchers that are ready for IRN Generation and Cancellation.
   A confirmation screen will appear, with the number of transactions lined up for IRN generation and cancellation.

   
   If you are using the multiple GST registrations feature in TallyPrime Release 3.0 or later versions, then you will be able to view the total number of vouchers for IRN generation and cancellation from all GST registrations.
3. Press Enter to continue.
4. Specify the details in the e-Invoice Login screen, and press Enter.
   
   The Exchange Summary will appear after the cancellation is completed, and you can view the number of e-Invoices that are cancelled.
   

The vouchers will now move to the IRN cancelled from e-Invoice system section in the e-Invoice report.

Undo IRN/e-Invoice Cancellation

There might be certain instances where you might have cancelled the IRN for a particular voucher in TallyPrime, but now you want to undo this cancellation. For example, this might be needed when you had selected the wrong voucher for cancellation, or 24 hours have already passed since IRN generation, and the e-Invoice System won’t accept the cancellation anymore. In such cases, you can undo the IRN cancellation.

Undoing IRN/e-Invoice cancellations is only applicable for cancellations performed within TallyPrime, and not for those done directly on the e-Invoice portal.

1. Press Alt+G (Go To) > type or select e-Invoice > press Enter.
   Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Display More Reports > GST Reports > e-Invoice > press Enter.
   
2. Drill down from the required section, which can be either Pending for IRN Cancellation, Exported for IRN Cancellation, or Marked as IRN Cancelled.
   
3. Press Alt+F5 for more details. You can see details of the cancellation, such as Reason for Cancellation and Remarks.
4. Select the voucher for which you want to undo IRN cancellation.
   
5. Press Alt+F10 (Undo IRN Cancellation). 
   A message will appear to confirm the removal of Reason for cancellation and Remarks for the voucher.
   
6. Press Enter to proceed.
   This will remove details of the cancellation (Reason for cancellation and Remarks), and the voucher will be moved to its original section.

TallyPrime gives you the flexibility to cancel or undo IRN/e-Invoice cancellations as needed, helping you stay compliant while easily correcting mistakes within the allowed time frame.
