Dear [contact name],
We have received your invoice no: 123456 in the amount of [amount], however the goods sent relating to this invoice were items supplied in error. I understand the items we ordered were actually out of stock in your warehouse at the time.

Your sales department have been informed of the incorrect goods and they are currently awaiting collection by you from our [warehouse /premises /shop etc].
All other invoices will be settled as usual during our next payment run on the [date].
Thank you for your help,
