## Introduction

You correct a purchase invoice differently, depending on whether the invoice was released
or not (and has the
**Balanced**, **On hold**, or **Scheduled** status).
Use
the [Purchase invoices (AP301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/purchase-invoices-ap301000/index.md) window to correct or
reverse an invoice.

## Correct an invoice that has not been released

1. Go to the [Purchase invoices (AP301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/purchase-invoices-ap301000/index.md) window.
1. Find the invoice using the navigation buttons, or search for it by clicking ![icon-select](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-select.jpg) in the **Invoice no.** field at the top. This will open a list of documents. Alternatively, you can enter the invoice number directly into the **Invoice no.** field.
1. Make relevant corrections to the invoice.
1. To save the invoice with the **On hold** status, make sure the **Hold** check box is selected.
1. To save the invoice with the **Balanced** status, check whether the **Amount** field of the top part is displayed or not:

    + If the **Amount** field of the top part is displayed in the window, enter the total amount of the invoice in this field.
    + If the **Amount** field is not displayed in the window, make sure the total amount of the invoice is displayed correctly in the **Balance** field.
1. Make sure that the **Hold** check box is cleared.
1. Click ![icon-save](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-save.png).

## Correct an invoice that has been released

Use one of the following ways to correct a released invoice:

+ Reverse the invoice to reverse the impact of the invoice. For step-by-step instructions of how to reverse a invoice, see: [Reverse an invoice.](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/process-purchase-invoices/reverse-an-invoice/index.md)
+ Use the **Correct invoice** action in the **Actions** drop-down in the [Purchase invoices (AP301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/purchase-invoices-ap301000/index.md) window.
+ Correct the invoice to decrease the supplier ledger balance by creating a purchase credit note.
+ Correct the invoice to increase the supplier ledger balance by creating a credit adjustment.
