You can delete invoices in bulk if they're in draft or awaiting approval status. Do this in the list view by selecting the invoices then clicking Delete. Invoices in awaiting payment status need to be voided individually.
Click Bill Options then select Void. Click OK to confirm.
If you would like to change the original amount issued on the invoice to either higher or lower, you will need to issue a credit note. Instead, you can simply create a new invoice with the corrected information, and send the new bill to your customer.
