Never alter an original invoice, especially if the invoice has been sent to the consumer. If the invoice has not yet been sent, then it is better to destroy (void with notes as to why it's been voided) the invoice and make a new one with the changes, altering the invoice is unacceptable.

If the invoice has been sent to the consumer an invoice adjustment must be sent to the customer, noting all the changes that were needed.

Paying close attention when filling out an invoice is very important. If the error(s) things such as an overcharge of the balance, then correction is easily made, in some (although extremely rare) if the error(s) is an undercharge to the consumer the company may have to take the loss and take steps to insure that this error never happens again.

Must I pay a revised invoice if the supplier invoiced me for the wrong purchase price of an item on the first invoice they submitted to me?

Unless the new invoice is higher, then I don't see a problem. As I sated in one answer earlier, most companies do not, will not, or are not suppose to send out revised invoices if they made the error and the original invoice has a lower balance due. The company can request that you pay the new invoice, but most companies, not all usually take the "loss" if it is pointed out that "they" made the error. Before making any decisions on this, if the revised invoice is higher than the original and you don't want to pay the new balance, I would suggest contacting the company, pay the original invoice and let them now that is the invoice you received and that it was their error. Personally, I would pay the new invoice regardless, I might not like the idea of paying more money, but I also realize that people do make mistakes and unless the balance is of a very huge significance, I wouldn't contest it.

Can you avail Cenvat Credit on Original Copy of Invoice?

In normal course we avail the cenvat on duplicate for transporter copy of invoice and the same is lost by the transporter in transit. In that case we can avail the cenvat on original invoice. As such there is no procedures is prescribed for this but to prove our bonafide we have do the following. 1) Take the affidavit from the transporter / driver of vehicle that duplicate for transporter copy of invoice has been lost in transit and; 2) FIR copy lodged by the driver or transporter in the nearby police station, where the invoice has been lost. We have to keep the above two documents in our record along with original invoice. This is require since during the audit department may raise the question for chances of double Cenvat credit on both copes but if the affidavit and FIR copies are attached to original copy its satisfies the audit party and also further litigation of doubt of double Cenvat credit may not be arise.
