Invoices - Unapprove option
Ability to unapprove invoices once it’s already approved.
Purpose: it’s easier to have this feature if users approved the wrong invoices by mistake.

Ability to unapproved an invoice, but also an expense. If the approve button was pressed but on reflection it shouldn't have been, then it's crazy this can not be undone

Good morning,
I approved and invoice and tried the new version which gave me the option to Copy to draft (righthand corner … 3 dots)
I had to add the client’s name to the invoice to save it. I then went back to the classic version. From drafts I move the invoice over to “waiting for approval” You do however have to add documentation if you had any attached. -

If an issue is found with an invoice after it has been approved reverting to draft will prevent accidental payment. It doesnt happen often but the option to Dispute an invoice would be good too.

Yes agreed. You need to be able to revert to Draft.

It would be a very helpful option. Agree.

Invoicing: please do not retire the current invoicing option. Also adding the button to be able to reverse the invoice to DRAFTS would be quite helpful. Other than that, the current invoicing features are working well and very user friendly as apposite to the new invoicing.

I agree with Allison Walker and 8 years is a long time to be waiting for a revert button. Please address soonest. It would make invoicing the "dream" that you portray to prospective users in your TV commercials.

I would have thought this was a basic feature, and hopefully can be added with the new invoicing

Victoria Honey commented
This is a basic feature that should have been added years ago. Please implement ASAP

Michelle Poulton commented
this would be so helpful as sometimes invoices are approved in error and the only way to rectify is to void and re-do

There is another open product idea for this same problem, that has 276 votes.
Seriously xero! That's 540 people who have now upvoted this critical feature over th elast 8 years since it was first propsed. What does it take to get Xero to pay attention to the needs of their customers?

Y'all have to take this seriously and give us this most needed option. Come on guys!

Belinda Kuppens commented
This appears to be a critical request by many over a loooong period of time. Please advise how this can be done! Thanks

Heather Palmer commented
This option needs to be addressed you should be able to revert an approved invoice to draft if it has not been sent
XERO look into this please, this was first made 8 YEARS AGO come on
-
Heather Palmer commented
This is a vital option and would love Xero to please fix the invoicing to make this available
-
Maggie Kavanagh commented
Agree with Alison Walker completely. I hope Xero will soon allow approval reversals for purchase ledger invoices (Xero BILLS), as we need to be able to maintain the history of each Bill across our systems. And every action is detailed within the Bill's log anyway.

Shannon McMonigal commented
Yep, I accidentally click "approve" instead of "save" sometimes, it would be fantastic if we could revert to draft if it hasn't been marked "sent"

Philip Bailey commented
If only we were all perfect every time. This is a pretty fundamental requirement.

Alison Walker commented
Tim - you have a point, I still struggle to refer to bills as bills (too many years referring to them as invoices!) I suspect that most commentators are actually referring to bills even though they've said invoices.
