TABLE OF CONTENTS

Voiding an invoice is helpful when you need to make a change that impacts the total amount of the Invoice. Voiding only removes the invoice, the services remain on the Order so you can make edits, and create a new invoice. When you Void an Invoice, you can: 
  • Edit the service order and create a new invoice with the correct information.
  • Cancel services and create a new invoice, instead of creating a Credit Note.
  • Change the Invoice type if the due date was wrong and create a corrected invoice.
  • Delete all services and remove the invoice.


What Can I Change WITHOUT Voiding an Invoice?

You can change any aspect that does not impact pricing, without Voiding the Invoice, such as:
  • Staff Assigned
  • Time (as long as you don't have a Price Rule based on time of day)
  • Date (as long as you don't have a Price Rule based on time of day)
  • Staff Pay
  • Staff Notes


When Do I Void an Invoice?

You need to "void" the invoice, make edits and create a new invoice for these changes:
  • Service item (i.e., Boarding, Walking)
  • Quantity
  • Unit charge rate
  • If a cancellation affects the invoice amount and you don't want to create a credit note.
  • Amount that should be charged has changed and you don't want to create a credit note.
  • The invoice contains incorrect details due to an administrative error.
  • You want to send all updates to a client, even ones that do not impact pricing.


Note: Voiding the invoice will NOT delete the services in the service order. It simply removes the invoice from the service order.
