Create Factur-X Credit Notes Online for Free

It is a Factur-X document whose type code (BT-3) is 381 instead of 380. Structurally it is the same hybrid PDF/A-3 with embedded CII XML as an invoice; the type code tells the recipient's system to book the amounts as a credit rather than a receivable.

A credit note is the standard way to reverse or reduce an invoice that has already been issued: returned goods, a price reduction granted afterwards, or a full cancellation. Rather than editing the original, you issue a separate document that refers to it.

No. Enter the credited quantities and prices as positive values, exactly as they appeared on the original invoice. The type code 381 is what makes the document a credit; the receiving system applies the sign.

EN 16931 does not make the preceding invoice reference (BG-3) technically mandatory, but VAT rules in most countries expect a clear link to the corrected invoice, and buyers routinely reject credit notes without one. This form gives the reference its own fields so it is not forgotten.

Yes. Upload the original invoice as PDF or XML and the AI reads the parties and line items into the form. Adjust the lines to what is being credited, add the invoice reference, and generate.

Creating credit notes is free within the daily allowance, exactly like the invoice generator. Premium adds unlimited use and drafts.
