We have recently encountered a technical issue within our system, resulting in the Invoice Control Value (ICV) being reset and starting to generate values from 1 again. Unfortunately, this issue affected 27 invoices that were successfully reported to ZATCA.  
We are actively seeking guidance and suggestions from the ZATCA community on how to resolve this matter.

please note PIH and Invoice Counter Value are linked with CSID - One CSID should have one sequence of PIH and ICV irrespective of type of documents. There is no upfront validation on the order in which invoices are submitted. It can be submitted in any order. Furthermore, once a document is generated with an Invoice Counter Value (ICV) then that ICV cannot be mentioned on another document. New document should have its own ICV.  
If an invoice is rejected then it should be resubmitted as a new invoice with new hash, UUID, ICV and timestamp. Also Invoice counter value should not be re-used.

Dear @harishkumar, its not a open session and rather limited by invitation based on priority of enforcement waves. if your company is in forthcoming enforcement waves then your point of contact from ZATCA would receive the invite either for Monday or Thursday session.
