    We all make mistakes and need to be able to fix them

    We need this feature now

    having to vote for something that should be a basic feature. lmao.

    I agree with other users that this is such an easy trap to fall into so there should be an easy escape route

  • Joel Dixon commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with the comments - should be a basic function

  • Kate Elias commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree with all the comments - seems basic to allow this feature of un-voiding an invoice.

    For goodness sake! I am new to Xero and this is the second time today that I've had to visit product ideas to upvote something that so obviously should be a core feature. Not impressed.

    Facility to restore a voided invoice seems essential to me, if only to enable numbering sequences to stay aligned across systems. If you want tighter control, allow it only by supervisor with higher level authorisation.

    I've hit this today because someone voided an invoice that was refunded. It should have been matched by a credit note so that I can do a tidy refund. Now it looks as though I'll need to go round a lot of houses to get there.

    (I note that this idea has been hanging around since 2022, so I'm not holding my breath, especially given the extended life of the even more important field for customer's purchase order ref on invoices, on which there has been no movement for years).
