Cancellation motives (CFDI 4.0)

Since 2022, every cancellation requires a motive:

Cancel a CFDI

string
required
Identifier of the document to cancel. You’ll find it in the “Id” field in the invoice issuance response or when querying issued invoices.
string
required
Cancellation motive, explained in the table above (01, 02, 03, 04).
string
UUID of the receipt that replaces the cancelled one (only required for cancellation motive «01 - Receipt issued with errors with a related document»).
Using the uuidReplacement field when it is not required can cause errors or prevent the invoice from being cancelled, even if a null or empty value is assigned.
In sandbox, only invoices that use the RFC EKU9003173C9 as the issuer can be cancelled.
