Sales Invoices - Bulk Delete
It is all too easy to accidentally upload a batch of sales invoices to Xero from the wrong period. It can then take absolutely hours to delete these as Xero does not have the functionality to remove these en masse.
Hi Sarah, when importing invoices to Xero, these should come in as drafts. You can Delete draft invoices in bulk from the Draft List view. 🙂
Would be good to better understand the way invoices are coming into your organisation if there's a step I'm missing here?

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!

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.

I have a client with 20,000 sales invoices that need deleting. There is no way this can be done manually so I am left with no solution

I have an issue where a link with an external POS system transition has caused more than 6000 duplicate sales dating back several years to be imported into Xero - all approved and paid. I am very disappointed to learn the only way to fix this error is to remove all the payments manually and then click into each sale one by one and void it - HUGE waste of time and very frustrating. There should be a way to remove these duplicate sales in bulk.

It should be allowed the role of advisor to delete the bulk approved sales invoices.

Client's often integrate software's without checking the ramifications first. As BAS Agents we should be able to bulk VOID rather than void individually, or clear through suspense accounts.

Really need this feature asap :)

Still need this feature here too!

Adding my voice to the request to be able to bulk delete approved invoices. Again, integration with a separate platform means double work when each invoice is imported and approved automatically. I have several clients and have worked out a much simpler and more effective way of accounting for income so have 200+ old invoices to delete!

This would really assist, especially if you have incorrectly raised about 500 credit notes!!

In relation to this request - sometimes the value doesn't show therefore you need to open each individual draft invoice to view it and delete it.
Desperately need to be able to "arrow forward" to the next draft invoice to view and delete instead of backing out of the individual draft invoice and go back into the Draft List to select the next invoice to view. A lot of wasted time and very frustrating. -

This would be really helpful, I have over 1000 old invoices that need to be voided and doing this manually will be a really poor use of time.

Agreed our website came under bot attack over the weekend and so 1000+ unpaid invoices created and I find it incredible there is no way to batch delete/void these when sat in awaiting payment status.
Come on Xero you really need to sort this critical missing piece of functionality.

This is XERO. Xero is about convenience. Making This feature available adds to conveniences within your platform.
Why the delay is adding this feature?

Such an urgent requirement, with all these apps being connected by clients because of your terrible advertising suggesting that xero can do everything it's self for your business, they connect their apps and it imports all the historic invoices. To have to now manually go through and delete every imported invoice individually for prior periods is crazy, who's paying for this task to be processed to correct the connection issue to Xero?. Xero has created the necessity for Bulk Deletes due to these app connections, but wont provide the ability, Crazy!
