Issuing Operations / Invalidating Allowance (Issuing general allowance)

Application Scenarios

Same as the invalidating e-invoice API, merchants can use this function to cancel the allowance. When the API request is successful, ECPay will upload the data of allowance ticket that is to be invalidated or to be cancelled to the Platform of Ministry of Finance the next day. If the allowance ticket is successfully invalidated, ECPay will notify the cutomer.

Special Notes :

After 23:59:59 of the 13th of each odd month ( i.e. January, March, May, July, September and November), because the regular routine of reporting to Ministry of Finance is complete, allowance tickets issued in two months earlier cannot be invalidated or cancelled. For example, on March 14th, the allowance ticket issued in January and February cannot be invalidated.
