Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the challenge of issuing e-invoices for credit notes when there's no quantity involved, specifically due to extra charges. While a credit note can typically be created without quantity, the e-invoicing system rejects it. The consensus is that an e-invoice might not be mandatory in this specific scenario under Section 34 of GST, especially if it's purely a price adjustment. However, practical advice is offered on how to potentially generate the e-invoice by using a 'zero quantity' and entering the credit amount as a negative value, referencing the original invoice.

No need of e invoice for price change

I don't think that quantity is compulsory to fill while making an invoice, you can make it without quantity too.

1 Generate a new invoice:  Create a new invice with the same details as the original invoice, but with a cedit note type.

2.Zero quantity: Enter a zero quantity for the items being credited. 

3.Credit amount:Enter the credit amount (negative value) for each item.

4. Reason for credit: include a brief descripttion or reason for the credit note.

5.Reference to original invoice: with number and date

6. Verify and upload: upload the e-invoice to the GST portal.
