Void invoices
Voiding an invoice is akin to deleting or canceling it in principle. Yet, voiding preserves a paper trail, enabling you to locate the invoice by its number. Voided invoices are considered as having zero value for reporting and are not payable. Importantly, this status is final, meaning the invoice’s status remains unalterable.
Once you void an invoice, it remains accessible through the UI views and shows a status voided indicating it has been voided.
You can void an invoice only when it’s in a finalized status, and the payment status is not succeeded.
To void an invoice using the user interface:
- Go to the “Invoices” list;
- Click the ellipsis icon on the right, on the line corresponding to the invoice;
- Select “Void invoice”; and
- Confirm to void the invoice.
