A supplier has already issued and submitted a consolidated e-Invoice for our transaction (without our company details, under “general public”). Can we issue a self-billed e-Invoice to validate it? Will it cause issues?

No — you should not issue a self-billed e-Invoice in this situation.

Since the supplier has already issued an e-Invoice (even if under “general public”), your company should not create another e-Invoice for the same transaction.

What to do instead:

1. Record the expense in your accounting system as per your normal process.

2. Keep the supplier’s invoice (and proof of payment) as your supporting document.

Recommendation: Inform the supplier of your company details (COID/TIN) for future transactions so they can issue the e-Invoice directly to your company instead of under “general public.”
