XML Invoice Generator
Turn an invoice into XML — a plain readable file, UBL 2.1 or CII — from a simple form.
A debit note for an under-billing, with the reason and the tax on the addition.
Put the additional charge on the note, never the whole invoice again. A debit note carrying the full amount creates a second debt for the same supply, which is the most expensive mistake there is in this area.
The Debit Note Generator adds to an invoice already issued, carrying only the difference, its own reference, a stated reason, tax on the addition at the original rate, and the notice that stops it being paid twice.
A debit note increases what is owed against an invoice already issued. It is the right document when you under-billed, when work was done beyond the original scope, when freight was left off, or when a tax rate was applied wrongly and the correction goes upwards.
The rules are the mirror of a credit note. Only the difference goes on it, never the whole invoice again — putting the full amount on a debit note creates a second debt for the same supply, which is the single most expensive mistake in this area. It needs its own sequential reference and a reference to the original. It carries tax on the addition at the rate the original supply attracted. And it needs a notice saying it is an addition rather than a duplicate, because without one it gets either paid twice or ignored entirely.
This produces one with all of that, in either direction: as a supplier charging more, or as a buyer raising a debit note against a supplier for a short delivery or an agreed rebate, which is how it works in retail.
Putting the full amount on creates a second debt for one supply.
Separate from your invoice numbering.
At the rate the original supply attracted.
Without it, a debit note gets paid twice or ignored.
As a supplier charging more, or a buyer raising one for a short delivery.
Number and date, in the header.
Never the whole invoice again — that creates a second debt.
Under-billing, extra work, omitted freight or a tax correction.
At the rate that applied to the original supply.
It is what stops it being paid twice, or ignored.
When the charge relates to a supply already invoiced — an under-billing, an omitted charge or a tax correction. Genuinely new work is a new invoice, not a debit note against an old one.
Yes, and in retail it is routine. A buyer raises one for short deliveries, damages or agreed rebates, and the supplier issues a matching credit note. The two documents together settle the difference.
Yes, at the rate applicable to the original supply, shown separately from the net just as on an invoice.
Functionally very little — both create a debt. The difference is that a debit note explicitly adjusts an identified earlier invoice, which is what keeps both parties’ records reconcilable.
