Sir, 

"e-Way Bill " can only be amended within 24 hours of its generation. When the time is passed, the only solution is to cancel the same. When the invoice itself is wrong or has a repeated invoice number, the same has to be cancelled duly recording in the books of accounts and a fresh invoice and e-Way Bill have to be issued.

Edit the invoice number for the invoice for which EWB and e invoice not issued by adding any suitable alphabet.

If this cannot be done issue a credit note and then another invoice.
