# E-invoice Cancellation

### Step 1: Select invoices for cancellation

From the list of documents select the ones which are in 'Generated' status and have to be cancelled.

'Generated' E-invoices may also have 'E-way bills' attached to them.

### Step 3: Selecting options to cancel EWB and IRN or IRN only

From the selected IRNs if there are E-way bills also then there is an option to cancel E-way bills and IRNs together.

E-way bills have to be cancelled before cancelling an IRN.

Select the appropriate option to proceed for cancellation of E-invoices.

Click on 'Proceed to Cancel' to start the process of cancellation.
