Credit and debit notes
The graphic representation of an already issued electronic credit or debit note, with its CUDE and the invoice it modifies.
nota-credito and nota-debito are the graphic representation of an already issued note, just like the invoice: the CUDE, the XML and the validation are produced by your technology provider, and they arrive here as data. They accept everything the invoice accepts —issuer, buyer, items with their rate, totals, fields, legalNotes, software, sideNotes— and also:
"invoice": {
"number": "NC-0001",
"generatedAt": "12-09-2026 10:32:15 AM",
"cude": "0123…cdef", // the CUDE of the note
"qr": "https://catalogo-vpfe.dian.gov.co/document/searchqr?documentkey=…"
},
"reference": { // the invoice it modifies
"number": "FV-0001",
"date": "04-09-2026",
"cufe": "cafe…cafe"
},
"correction": { // the correction concept, as is
"code": "3",
"description": "Rebaja o descuento parcial o total"
}
- Without
cude, the note says «Sin CUDE» (“No CUDE”); without the reference invoice or its CUFE, it says so too. - They carry no resolution or authorization number: notes have no authorized numbering, and a «Sin resolución» (“No resolution”) would claim they lack something that doesn’t apply to them.
- The QR is always drawn. The payment box only appears if you send
paymentLegendorpayment.enlace: a credit note almost never collects money, and a box saying «Sin datos de consignación» (“No payment details”) would be noise. - Amounts are printed as they arrive, just like on the invoice.
Examples: nota-credito.json and nota-debito.json. The shared fields are described in What goes inside data.
