Enter your idea

Hi,

I want a "delete function" in "Awaiting payment Tab" in Xero to delete multiple invoices by one click. It is very important function which will increase the workflow. At the current method, we need to void each invoice individually that is troublesome and time consuming feature. Please update with this "delete" function.

This should be a basic operation in a system like xero. We've just had a client phoenix and are having to transfer a months worth of invoicing to a new company and delete it in the old. Because there is no bulk delete I am going to have to go into each invoice and delete it manually.......not a happy bunny....

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.

This is an important feature needed. I had to manually void over 700 invoices due to an error that would have taken longer to correct on each one.

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 ?????

This would be very helpful, and save me a lot of time

PLEASE work on a bulk delete solution ASAP

Hi Xero Team,

How can I delete bulk approved invoices in xero to reorganise the data?

Kind Regards,

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.

The fact you cannot bulk void is obscene. Xero, you need to listen to your customers and sort this out.

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.

Issues setting up integration with GoCardless and another software package has left us with several thousand "phantom" invoices that we now need to void.
An option to bulk void sales invoices would be much appreciated!

I have also requested this same thing! I recently had to void something like 600 invoices, which took me a whole afternoon to do!

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.
