Edit or delete an invoice

You can update an invoice’s details and line items as long as it has not been paid. This article covers editing and deleting invoices.

When an invoice can be edited

You can edit an invoice unless it is Paid. If you open the edit screen for a paid invoice, you are returned to the invoice with a message that paid invoices cannot be edited.

Edit an invoice

1. Open the invoice from the Invoices list.
2. Click Edit.
3. Update the account, contact, issue date, due date, tax rate, discount, shipping, notes, or terms as needed.
4. Add, change, or remove line items. Removed line items are deleted from the invoice when you save.
5. Save your changes. The subtotal, tax, and total are recalculated automatically.

Delete an invoice

1. Open the Invoices list.
2. Use the Delete action on the invoice.
3. Confirm when prompted.

Warning: Only Draft invoices can be deleted. A draft invoice that was created by converting an accepted quote cannot be deleted – use Cancel instead. See Void, cancel, or refund an invoice.
