Canceling an LHDN Submission
Introduction
Learn how to seamlessly cancel documents after submission to LHDN from within Zoho Books. No LHDN portal login necessary!
Documents can only be canceled within the first 72 hours of submission
Canceling documents in Zoho Books
Click the gear widget on the vertical right bar of the screen when viewing a document
this should open the "installed extensions" menu, where you will see the cancelation menu
example below for the invoice module :

Select the type of document you want to cancel
In the popup window,
find the document you wish to cancel and click the "
cancel" button that is in the same row as your document

- Fill in cancelation details, and "initiate cancelation"
if none of the preset reasons for cancelation apply, select "other" and fill in reason into the new dialog box.
View progress of cancelation in this popup window as well.
Editing and updating an invoice in Zoho Books to re-push
After canceling an invoice in the LHDN Portal, you may edit the document should your Zoho settings allow it.
Two settings need to be checked to ensure you can edit pushed invoices :
Enable editing of invoices
Find the first setting in settings > invoices > allow editing of sent invoices

The second setting is under settings > users > roles
In this settings, you will need to ensure everyone that should be canceling and editing invoices at any point needs access to both the "edit invoices" option.

Updating Invoices for correction and re-pushing
Once editing is enabled:
- Edit the canceled invoice
- Navigate to the UUID and Public link fields
- Delete the UUID and Public Link
- deleting these will allow you to re-push the invoice to the LHDN portal
- You may now edit the invoice as necessary
- save
- re-push as necessary
Voiding an invoice in Zoho Books
NOTE: voiding is only for the Zoho Books system and does not effect anything in the LHDN system.
It is advised to only void if you have already canceled the invoice in LHDN, and do not need the invoice anymore.
- Open 3-dot menu on the top bar of an invoice
- Click void
- Fill in reason for voiding and click "void it"
How to Manually Cancel a document that has been submitted to LHDN
Open a document that has been submitted to LHDN
- Note down the UUID (bottom of the invoice page)
- Open the MyTax portal for the organization
- Navigate to documents
- Find the related document with corresponding UUID and open it
- Click "cancel" on the right side of the document's tab row
Fill in reason for cancelation and click "initiate cancelation"


Standard practice to note: To repush an invoice, (because of edits or revisions etc) , follow the following steps :
- cancel the document in LHDN ,
- void the original invoice in Zoho Books
- Clone the invoice (or create a new one with the revisions needed)
- push the new invoice.

This keeps a paper trail of all documents in your Zoho Books, to ensure any audits done by LHDN or any other party can find these canceled invoices,
as LHDN keeps these records on their side.
