Remove a draft: void it
Drafts and unsettled documents are voided with a reason. They stay in the history.
Lite has no delete for invoices, quotes, bills or credit notes, including drafts. You void them instead. A voided document stays in the list, marked Void, with the reason you gave, and has no effect on your books or VAT.
Void one document
- Open the document.
- Open its menu and choose Void document.
- Enter the reason, for example “Raised twice”, and confirm.
Void or approve many at once
- Open the list, for example Invoices.
- Filter it by a status other than All, for example Draft.
- Choose Void shown and enter one reason. It voids the unsettled documents shown, up to 200 at a time. If more are shown, narrow the list first.
- Or choose Approve drafts to approve every draft shown.
What cannot be voided
- A document that is paid, part-paid, credited, written off or converted.
- An approved credit note.
- An opening balance.
- A document in a locked period.
Tip: To correct an approved invoice that has a payment against it, issue a credit note. See Change an invoice, credit notes and voiding.
