Enter your idea

Hi all,

Ok so big disclaimer but there is an app called G-ACCON I tried a few years ago, which seems to be going strong and growing since I last used it (based it on its pricing and youtube page), which does BULK VOIDing.

The app does much more, such as Bulk tracking category option imports and Audit trail reporting, to name a couple.

Only snag is that you need to get used to the Enquiry boxes in Google sheets and its terminology to get Xero to do what you want it to do (and should already be doing!!)

There is free trial version, so you can try it before subscribing.

Website is here

And the youtube video on Bulk Voiding invoices is here.

I haven't tried this myself, but would be interested in hearing how others fare.

This a must for our business. Come on Xero get on with it please.

I understand not allowing anyone this function but an advisor and maybe dual approval would work. Sometimes you make a mistake then have to manually delete hundreds of invoices manually.

I recently did an import for credit notes and approved them and realized after I forgot to change the amount to a negative so I have 100 sales invoices rather than credit notes

The problem here was a supposed 'integration' app from an outfit called Epos Now. This creates end of day reports and imports them as full fledged invoices not drafts. Can Xero control third parties from offering useless products as if it's called a Xero Integration App we assume you think it is usable

This subject seems to be falling on deaf ears, but I am hearing on various forums etcs this is a long term issue. I converted a clients Data from quickbooks and there was no option to send to draft and for some reason even though I put a conversion date the conversion brought in every sales invoice from the year dot (2015) This really is an urgent matter and I am feeling the pain reading all these legit requests.

It cant be that difficult as there is this function in purchase invoices so surely the code is already written ?????

PLEASE work on a bulk delete solution ASAP

why does xero concentrate on fluffing around with existing formats like the invoicing page, which add no benefit I might add, rather than concentrating on implementing customers suggestion, such as bulk delete. Is Xero unable to do this?

Totally agree!!!
We don't care about any formatting, the old invoicing page is perfectly fine, please focus on users need.

We accidentally had two Shopify to Xero plugins operating at once and now have 520 invoices I need remove payment on and delete.

A bulk remove & redo and a bulk delete function would be very welcome.

A third party app has address 1200 invoices to my xero account and I have no way of deleting them without doing them individually - this is not a task that is relished - Bulk delete would me much more appropriate and badly needed.

I agree, is so time consuming to fix a clients error when they have entered invoices that are unnecessary due to linked third party apps.

Totally agree. WHEN is this coming. Would be good to get some feedback as to whether this is even on the production/development line. I have almost 1,000 to delete now.

Our situation is we are a nonprofit and even with the strongest of commitment we only collect on average 70%. Then when we contact them again the invoice does not push from our HubSpot to Xero, so.we need to go back and change some part of the name. We have lost donations in the process, as following up to make sure an invoice was produced takes hours of extra work daily.

Absolutely necessary, especially if a client changes their mind about tracking categories and the options are change 400+ invoices individually or reupload them with the correct tracking categories...

Xero should have an option to delete invoices in a bulk like it does with the transactions. By mistake I uploaded and approved 289 invoices and cn, and now I have to delete one by one :(

This thread seems to date back quite a while and there is still no batch delete facility? We have been using SL in a different system and want to bring it in to Xero. In order to do this we need to clear out historical data that has only been used for VAT purposes and not credit control. We have a huge amount of invoices awaiting payment that are going to take an enormous amount of time to clear. Cannot believe its easy to get a batch of invoices into Xero but not to delete them.

It seems Xero don't give a **** about what the customers want, I too am in a very time consuming position, i find there support and customer service very poor.

I've just joined the list of people needed this...

This is an absolute must feature and a very obvious one to have.

Currently in the Awaiting Payment tab in invoices, you can select invoices and then it has the options at the top to either 'Print' 'Email' 'Deposit' 'Copy to' but not 'Void'

It should be easy enough for the developers to add Void as another option?

I’ve been asking for this for years. Not all integrations can add into draft, so this becomes a serious waste of time/money to delete problems individually, whether they are sales or purchase invoices. There’s no logical reason why this can’t be built in as there have been third party sequences that you could run in the past.(they don’t seem to exist any more for some reason). At the very least, offer this as an admin tool that can be switched on or off, such as the cash coding or find and recode facilitates.

This is an increasingly urgent problem Xero…
