The duplicate IRN error occurs when an IRN for an e-invoice has already been generated and canceled, and then reused for another voucher. It also appears while creating a new voucher using the same voucher number as the canceled e-invoice.

Say, for voucher number 1, you generated an e-invoice and canceled it later. If you are now generating an e-invoice for another voucher with the same voucher number, you will be prompted with a duplicate IRN error.

In this case, record the new voucher with a different voucher number. Also, remove the IRN from the e-invoice details and then generate the e-Invoice using the new voucher.

  • If the IRN/QR code does not exist for the said invoice, you can use “Get IRN” instead of re-generating. This can be done within 72 hours of IRN generation.
  • In case of auto-numbering, it is recommended not to delete the voucher. But in case you have deleted the voucher, insert the same voucher and select ‘Get IRN’. If more than 72 hours have passed, you will need to issue a credit note for the transaction.

You can easily mark an e-Invoice for cancellation from the e-Invoice – Voucher Register and then send the e-Invoice for cancellation from the Exchange menu. Refer to Cancel IRN/e-Invoice for the detailed procedure.
