Cancel invoice
Cancel an unpaid invoice by creating a cancellation invoice (Stornorechnung).
MCP tool sevdesk_write → cancel_invoice
write Confirm
Cancels an invoice that is open or due, like Rechnung stornieren. sevdesk creates a cancellation invoice that refers to the original, sets it to paid and sets the original to cancelled. The cancellation invoice takes the next free number of your invoice number range. A paid invoice cannot be cancelled this way; it needs a credit note. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
