Can an e-Invoice be cancelled or rejected after validation?

Yes. Under the Malaysian e-Invoicing process, the supplier can cancel a validated e-Invoice and the buyer can reject it through the applicable MyInvois process within the prescribed 72-hour period after validation. The relevant party should use the official workflow and provide the required reason. Once the applicable period has passed, the parties generally need to address corrections through the prescribed adjustment process rather than assuming that the validated invoice can still be cancelled or rejected.

Always verify the latest Specific Guidelines and portal instructions for the precise conditions and process that apply to the invoice.
