The Credit note
A credit note generally relates to a litigious invoice. The credit note is sent when: Relating to an invoice (when the issuer realizes his mistake). In this case it will be imperative to refer to the number of the invoice in the RFF+IV segment. A request for a credit note is raised by OPCO. In this case it will be imperative to refer to the number of the credit note in the segment RFF+DL and order number or purchase outlet in the RFF+ON segment.
VAT calculation rule
VAT must be calculated in the following way at the foot of the page: Sum of amounts net of taxes of each line by VAT rate (00, 7.00, 5.00 etc) multiplied by the VAT rate. Not by the sum of the VAT amounts on each line.
Discounts or expenses (segment ALC): Should only include discounts or unconditional loads. 4 scenarios can be met:
1. Discount applied on the footer of invoice
2. Discount applied on item line
3. Additional charges applied on the footer of invoice
4. Additional charges applied on item line
For discounts / charges applicable to products having different VAT rates, it is requested to detail the line (segment under ALC LIN). The indication discount/charge on the amount segment (MOA) must be in phase with the identification of the rebate or charge (MOA segment). We do not support discounts and expenses by the percentage (PCD segment) but only by the amount (MOA segment).
