Credit Note with Same IRN submitted Multiple Times and Cleared

FATOORA portal and Simulation portal

Hi,

By mistake, lets say a credit note was submitted to ZATCA 2 times (with same IRN). All these credit notes have been cleared by the fatoora portal. What should we do to correct this error?

  1. Should we leave it as it is (in case ZATCA audit comes we will give this response), or
  2. raise a debit note to reverse the entry, (without creating an entry in Accounting Software)?
  3. Or anything else?

All duplicate entries will be discarded and only one CN will be considered.
No DN required to be raised

It depends on whether both XMLs had same content (including technical identifiers such as same hash, UUID, ICV, PIH) or not. If everything remains same on both XMLs then you can disregard the same XML sent again as ZATCA will consider this as a single transaction. But if there is any difference resulting in a different hash on second XML, then you have to process a debit note for duplicate transaction submitted mistakenly.
