Void or edit a purchase invoice

By selecting Actions - Void invoice on a purchase invoice that needs to be credited, you will save a lot of time. When you void an invoice, a new invoice is created and automatically offset against the purchase invoice.

You cannot select Void invoice if the purchase invoice is partly or fully paid. If this is the case you have to manually create a credit note and offset it against the paid invoice.

If you have an active bank integration where invoices are either automatically sent to the bank or included in a payment file, it will no longer be possible to void the invoice once it has been sent or a payment file has been created.

  1. Go to Purchasing - Purchase invoices - Unpaid purchase invoices.
  2. Select the invoice you want to void.
  3. Select Actions - Void invoice. The program then creates a new invoice which is offset against the selected purchase invoice. The new invoice will get the same invoice date as the original invoice.

If you have entered the incorrect VAT code, invoice date or due date on the invoice, or if you want to use another account or delete or add rows, you do not have to void the invoice. These changes can be made directly in the invoice. An invoice can be edited as long as it is not included in a VAT report or a locked period. To activate this setting, go to Settings - Company settings - Invoice settings and select the checkbox Allow editing of purchase invoices under Purchase invoices.
