Changing an invoice How you edit the invoice depends on whether it's been paid - Included on a tax return: You can't edit or delete the invoice. Reverse it with a credit note and re-enter the invoice.
- Paid: Remove the link or unallocate it from the payment or credit note first.
- Draft or Unpaid invoice: You can edit or delete the invoice as needed.
Rules - If you enter a sales invoice with incorrect details, you can't delete it. You can edit or mark it as void if not reconciled.
- You can’t edit or void an invoice once it's reconciled. You must credit it out and re-enter it to correct the invoice.
- To void or edit saved invoices, you need full access to the Sales option. With restricted access, you can only edit or delete draft invoices.
- Voiding an invoice removes its amounts, but it remains in your accounts. This keeps invoice numbers sequential and viewable.
- If the invoice has a draft status, you can delete it. It doesn’t have an invoice number and its values don’t appear on your ledgers.
- You edit or void the invoice based on whether you paid it by a payment or a credit note.

Editing or void an invoice paid with a customer receipt - Before editing or voiding the invoice, delete the receipt. Delete the receipt if you entered it in error to remove the values from your accounts.
- If the receipt was correct but you need to void or edit the invoice, unallocate the invoice and receipt. The receipt becomes a payment on account, which you can allocate to another invoice if necessary.
- You can’t delete a receipt if it has been bank reconciled. Instead, unallocate the receipt to correct the values in your accounts. You can post a customer refund with the same details as the original receipt.
Editing or voiding an invoice paid with a credit note - Before editing or voiding an invoice paid with a credit note, remove the customer transaction.
- The transaction date is the date you allocated the invoice and credit note. Unallocating one invoice and credit note won't affect the remaining transactions allocated together. If the credit note covered multiple invoices, click the credit note, change the amount to pay, and save.
