This really is an important feature to add. I have accidentally "approved" (rather than submitted for approval) on a number of occasions, and it either requires a complete invoice re-do, or an email to the approver to let them know that I accidentally approved it so they need to check it and send...

Why have Xero Developers not updated their program to enable this feature?
Do they even look at these comments?

Is someone within Xero able to provide an update to everyone as to when/whether this feature will be enabled?

Maybe we should all contact support?

Voiding an invoice leaves a trace in the audit and looks suspicious.
It really would be great to be able to reverse the approval without the need of making a mess in records.

Come on Xero. This is getting silly. Give your clients the features they need.

Hello All
Please, make sure that you've clicked "vote" at the top of this page. More votes will highlight the idea to the Xero team.

I have been requesting this for three years and still nothing. It’s such a basic but critical feature.
What is the reason for not having in the app?

this is critical - Sage has this feature!!!

It would be extremely helpful to have this function. To have to void and re-enter bills mistakenly approved if messy and time-consuming.

Would be great to have this option - esp in accounts receiveable -
Would really like to be able to resave it as a draft invoice if I've clicked approve by mistake.

very helpful. Currently my staff have no way to improve their drafts as I basically go outside of xero and email them what is mising. they they update and I have to remember to go back in.

The code is already in existance on Xero expenses so this is easy to roll out

Just to reiterate and expend the comment on my original comment, as some suggest using the void function. If you di this you have to repeat attaching any documents you may have, and this may be onerous.
Xero please reconsider your stance on this request.

There are circumstances when this is needed and at the moment the only option is to void the invoice and re-post it.

There appears to be no correlation between what the user needs and what the developers think we want. Please instigate this as a priority.

so many people have explained why this feature is critical - it feels like Xero are not listening

Critical to be able to unapprove a bill for payment

I don't believe this critical feature is not currently possible. Please add this feature.

The ability to revert approved bills to a draft is an essential feature to have along with the ability to add interest for late payments, or at least the ability to add additional line items to an approved invoice.

Unfortunately, I get the feeling that Xero is more interested in kick backs received from plugins rather than their customers requirements. This is giving me second thoughts as to weather I should keep Xero or go back to MYOB as the above is general accounting that is included in MYOB.

Suggest this -> https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/45224872-bills-ability-to-return-an-unpublished-bill-to-d be merged into this idea.

------

I'm relieved to have stumbled over this idea, as the similar one I originally had found (above) had what I thought to be an amazingly underwhelming level of support for what I think is a fundamentally essential feature.

This would be **EXTREMELY** useful.

Please add this feature.

This feature is a must. At times invoices are approved by accident and need to be reverted to drafts or unapproved.

This should be a basic function within Xero.
