Invoice entered on incorrect return – help please!

[Out-of-my-depth]

Hello! 

Doing the current VAT return I see we have entered an invoice from China in the previous quarter accidently.  After reading the guidance on the HMRC website I’m of the opinion that we don’t need to do anything to correct the VAT account as it would balance with the input of the invoice in the last quarter and the payment to HMRC from the freight company at the docks in this quarter?  The amount is under £10,000 to just clarify (from information read on HMRC guidance).  So long as we make a note of what has happened, this mistake should wash through? Does anyone have any experience with this or know of any advice to pass on please?
