Malaysia B2B/B2G: Original e-Invoice Reference

If your e-invoice or credit note references an original e-invoice, Malaysia requires that you reference the original invoice in any credit, debit, or refund note.

You must provide a reference to the original invoice the MyInvois UUID that was received back from the portal when the original invoice was uploaded and accepted.

This information must be provided in the Preceding Invoice Reference Group and is used in the following invoice types:

DescriptionVRBL ValueStandard Value

Refund NoteVRBL:MY:04Not applicable
Self-Billing Credit NoteVRBL:MY:12261
Self-Billing Debit NoteVRBL:MY:13527
Self-Billing Refund NoteVRBL:MY:04Not applicable

Elements

Use the following subelements of the BillingReference element:

  • This topic and the Malaysia B2B/B2G: Supplier's Billing Reference Number topic both use the BillingReference element. An example of how to model both simultaneously is included below.

Example

Single preceding document reference

This example shows a single reference to a preceding invoice:

<Invoice>
    <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
    <cac:BillingReference>
        <cac:InvoiceDocumentReference >
            <cbc:ID>INV12345</cbc:ID>
            <cbc:UUID>SDCJ2PPVF9HX4XAFZ091W3EJ19</cbc:UUID>
        </cac:InvoiceDocumentReference>
    </cac:BillingReference>
    <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
</Invoice>

Combined example with Supplier's billing reference number

This example shows two uses of the BillingReference element, one for the preceding invoice and one for the Supplier's billing reference number:

<Invoice>
    <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
    <cac:BillingReference>
        <cac:InvoiceDocumentReference>
            <!-- Preceding Invoice Reference -->
            <cbc:ID>INV12345</cbc:ID>
            <cbc:UUID>SDCJ2PPVF9HX4XAFZ091W3EJ19</cbc:UUID>
        </cac:InvoiceDocumentReference>
    </cac:BillingReference>
    <cac:BillingReference>
        <cac:AdditionalDocumentReference>
            <!-- Supplier Internal Billing Reference Number -->
            <cbc:ID>E12345678912</cbc:ID>
        </cac:AdditionalDocumentReference>
    </cac:BillingReference>
 <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
</Invoice>
