Invoicing
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
.

Invoice voiding restrictions

status, which means it hasn’t been finalized yet. - The payment status of the invoice is
succeeded
, indicating that the payment has been successfully processed. - A credit note has already been issued for the same invoice, as this would create accounting conflicts.
- It has already been voided before.
