[UY] Bulk Upload - Credit and debit notes

A credit note reduces or cancels a document that was already issued. A debit note increases it. In Uruguay each note must match the type of the original document. For the general upload steps and format rules, see the Uruguay bulk upload manual.

Each row in the file is one item. A note with several items takes several rows with the same Invoice External ID; repeat the document columns with the same values on each of those rows.

Which document type to use

Original document	Credit note	Debit note
e-Factura (`invoice`)	`credit note`	`debit note`
e-Ticket (`ticket`)	`credit note ticket`	`debit note ticket`
Export invoice (`export`)	`credit note exports`	`debit note exports`

For credit notes of e-Resguardos (credit note withholding), see e-Resguardo.

Note	`Invoice Type`
Any credit note	`credit`
Any debit note	`debit`

Extra columns for notes

These columns are at the end of the template (purple headers). Keep the headers exactly as they are.

`Original invoice BRINTA id`	Brinta ID of the original document	Yes	Find it in Invoicing → Outgoing, in the detail of the original document.
`Invoice Reason`	`void`, `return`, `discount`	Credit notes	`void` cancels the whole original document. `return` and `discount` credit part of it.

Things to check before uploading

The document type of the note matches the original (a ticket is credited with credit note ticket, not credit note).
Original invoice BRINTA id is the Brinta ID, not your own external ID.
A partial note does not exceed the amount of the original document.
