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…

This is a relly important feature. With integrations comes the potential for errant transactions to come in en masse. For most people this is a hidden issue UNTIL it's not and you end with a pile of entries that just need to be deleted. It's simple but critical, and not having the ability to bulk delete invoices, bills, etc is a nightmare if you're unfortunate to have it happen to you.

Please can you estimate the time needed to solve this as it's just a case of hitting the check mark and pressing delete for any transactions that stand in isolation to others.

Please!

Giving this a rattle.

Is there an update on this? We're 18 months past the original request...?

Appears XERO is not for customers using point of sale systems? When importing the POS activity it can go wrong. Not being able to mass void is a huge problem. If you can't mass void, why allow mass import? Forget about the Draft option. That doesn't help.

My client has just classified a year of expenses as invoices instead of bills. We will need to manually void and reprocess each one.
