I cannot cancel an issued delivery note

Symptom​

A transfer already has an issued delivery note and, when you click Cancel and then Confirm, fiscaldoo refuses. Or you click Annul the guide and that is refused too.

Message​

With the Billing profile:

“Your profile cannot annul a transport guide. What happened: transport guides belong to the Inventory profile (and the fiscal profiles), and the product's permission matrix does not give this action to the Billing profile. How to fix it: ask a user with Inventory access to do it, or ask the fiscal administrator to add that profile to yours.”

With the Fiscal officer profile:

“Transport guide "GT D26/4" cannot be cancelled like a normal transfer: it has been issued. To annul a guide use “Annul the guide”: it records the reason and is a separate operation. That button only appears to the Fiscal officer and Fiscal administration profiles: if yours is another, ask someone who has one of them to annul the guide.”

In Annul the guide, with the transport already started:

“Guide "GT D26/4" cannot be annulled: the transport started on 01/11/2026 10:39:33 and a guide is annulled only before the transport starts. Correct it with a return guide or another document.”

And with a reason that is too short, with the transport not yet started (once it has started, the refusal is the previous one, whatever the reason):

“Write why the guide is annulled (at least 10 characters): the reason is kept with the guide, the user and the date.”

Verified causes​

  • Cancelling the transfer is not the same as annulling the delivery note. An issued delivery note has a number and a signature. Cancel only works for a transfer without an issued note; the issued note is withdrawn with Annul the guide, which keeps the reason.
  • Your profile does not have the button. Annul the guide only appears to the Fiscal officer and Fiscal administration profiles. With the Billing profile, a delivery note not yet communicated shows Print guide, Communicate to the AT, Register the AT code by hand and Cancel; a delivery note already accepted by the AT only shows Print guide and Cancel.
  • The transport has already started. The delivery note's transport start date and time have passed. The GT D26/4 refusal shows this case.

What to check​

  1. On the transfer, the delivery note number (GT …) and the transport start date and time.
  2. Whether the goods really left.
  3. Your profile: do you see the Annul the guide button?

How to fix it​

The transport has not started yet​

With the Fiscal officer or Fiscal administration profile:

  1. Open the transfer and click Annul the guide.
  2. Read the window, which warns: “It cannot be undone.” Type the Reason, with at least 10 characters.
  3. Click Annul the guide.

If you need a new delivery note, copy the transfer (⋮ menu, Duplicate), as the window says, and issue it: How to issue a delivery note.

Current limit: with the Fiscal officer profile, Duplicate is refused (“Failed to write field stock.move.scrap_reason_tag_ids …”). This is not the rule: ask the administrator for the copy and then issue the delivery note.

Who does it: Fiscal officer or Fiscal administration.

The transport has already started​

The delivery note can no longer be annulled. Do what the message says: correct it with a return guide or another document. Pending validation by a certified accountant: which document is right in each case, after the transport has started.

Your profile does not have the button​

Ask a user with the Fiscal officer or Fiscal administration profile to annul it. Give the delivery note number and the reason.

Expected result​

The transfer becomes Cancelled and the only button left is Print guide. In the demo, GT D26/5 (transport start on 20/11/2026) ended up like this, with the reason kept. According to the window, the delivery note keeps its number and signature and now appears as “Cancelled”; if it was communicated automatically, the annulment is also sent to the Tax and Customs Authority.

When to contact support​

  • The Annul the guide button does not appear with the Fiscal officer profile.
  • The transport start date is in the future and, even so, the annulment is refused because the transport has started.

Information to send​

  • The delivery note number (for example GT D26/5) and the transfer reference.
  • The full text of the message, copied from the screen.
  • The profile you logged in with and the approximate time.
