Accepting an Invoice Acceptance of a transmission does not necessarily indicate acceptance of an invoice within the transmission. When received, invoices are normally validated against the original order or contract. An invalid invoice in the transmission may result in the invoice being rejected. Where corrections of an invoice results in rejection of the invoice, a credit note must be transmitted by the sender followed by a re-issue of the corrected invoice, etc. in a subsequent transmission.
