HI admin & All

Canceling an invoice is the right treatment....but is there anyway to DELETE or completely remove the validated invoice ?

Hi

I dont think so we can delete the invoice once it is saved. The best option is to cancel it only.

Cancelling invoice will help us in tracking purpose also whereas deleting the invoice will not serve the purpose.

Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi Karan

I think you can delete the saved invoice before make any action like validate or approve. Once you make any action on it you can't delete it but cancel only because it saved in the invoice historical table.

Hi,

As Faisal said once the invoice is validated it cannot be deleted. It can only be canceled. Again the person cannot process a different invoice with the same number after canceling the invoice.

Even when the payment is made this particular invoice will be appeared but the amount will be zero. We can still view the invoice on the application but cannot retrieve the amount it was processed for. Correct me if i am wrong.

For the information - Once an Invoice is validated and you can not delete the invoice .

You can delete an invoice under the following conditions.
If the invoice has never been validated, matched to a purchase order, to a receipt or and is not accounted.
If the invoices needs revalidation or not matched to a purchase order, to a receipt or and is not accounted.
If the invoices is cancelled and not accounted .
You can not delete an invoice that is being processed by the Invoice approval workflow but you can delete an invoice that with an approval value of required or not Required
