Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the challenge of receiving invoices from MSME vendors after the standard 40-day period. The original poster suggested issuing a credit note and a new invoice, but the vendor refused. Experts suggest clarifying the reason for the late invoice issuance. If reasonable, payment can be processed based on the original invoice date. Alternatively, if the vendor is unwilling to provide an invoice on the correct date, it may be considered an offence, and demanding the invoice with the correct date is advised.

Ask details for late issue of invoice. It's reasonable then account the same as per date of invoice.

 

Otherwise You can ask the same way as per Your query.

As per invoice act, it must be collected before 30 days. But you can get an invoice for an old date. It's basically illegal to not to give invoice and cognizable offence. Your idea cannot be correct because inventory audit must be adjusted when actual return is not recorded. However, invoice must be generated on that date only and can be given to you later on based on business relationship otherwise demand it.
