How to Void an Invoice in Quickbooks
QuickBooks is a software that allows a business to do all accounting, including payable, receivable and taxes, in one package. One tremendous advantage to QuickBooks is the ability to generate invoices based on a customer database. This cuts back on the need to enter data such as names and addresses for each invoice. If you have entered an invoice that needs to be removed from the program, you have two choices: delete or void the invoice. Understanding this process takes some previous experience with QuickBooks.
