Why can't I cancel an invoice?

The invoice is:

  • Fully or partially paid

  • On hold

  • Selected for payment

  • Matched to a purchase order with a status of Finally closed

  • Already canceled

  • Corrected by a credit or debit memo

Additional reasons that you can't cancel an invoice are as follows:

  • You applied a prepayment to the invoice.

  • Canceling the invoice reduces the billed quantity on the purchase order less than zero.

For partially paid invoices, you can create a credit memo and then reconciliate it with the invoice to turn this invoice into a fully-paid invoice.
