Dear @UnitedDev ,

Thank you for reaching out.

Here’s the clarification:

  1. Do you need to include the Previous Invoice Hash (PIH) in the refund invoice XML?
    Yes, the refund invoice (Tax Credit Note or Simplified Credit Note) must include the PIH in the XML. This is required to maintain the sequential linkage between invoices as part of ZATCA’s e-invoicing compliance, and it not necessary to be the invoice hash of the original invoice you want to refund of the immediately preceding invoice.

  2. PIH (previous invoice hash) will be invoice hash of first invoice?
    The PIH (Previous Invoice Hash) should reference the hash of the immediately preceding invoice in the sequential chain, whether it is the first invoice or another invoice preceding it.

Please note that Including the PIH ensures traceability and integrity within the invoice series, allowing ZATCA to validate the chronological order of documents.

Best regards,
Lina
