About

A credit note corrects or cancels an invoice. UBL 2.5 keeps every UBL 2.1 credit note valid and adds new optional elements.

Good to know

  • These are the normative schemas from the OASIS release, which still accept deprecated elements.
  • The example is the UBL 2.1 credit note example shipped in the UBL 2.5 release.
