How to cancel an invoice / issue a credit note?

It is not possible to delete an invoice in order to preserve the numbering sequence and chronology of your accounting documents.
However, if an invoice was created by mistake (test invoice, unpaid invoice, incorrect amount, etc.), you can cancel it by creating a credit note.


How do I cancel an invoice?


You can create a credit note directly from an invoice by clicking Actions > New credit note


You can also create a credit note from Accounting > Credit notes


Click the + button and select the invoice you wish to cancel. The credit note creation screen will then appear.


I choose the invoice lines to credit


Fotostudio automatically retrieves the invoice lines that have not yet been credited.
You can then:

  • keep all lines to credit the entire invoice;
  • remove specific lines to create a partial credit note.


I edit the credit note freely


A blank credit note is created.
You can then:

  • manually add the lines of your choice;
  • create a custom line with a specific amount.

This option allows you to create a credit note without using the original invoice lines.


You can also add a comment, for example to keep track of why the invoice was cancelled.


Once the credit note has been saved, the invoice will appear as cancelled.


Can I delete a quote ?


In some situations, you may wish to delete a quote (for example if your client has accepted a different one).


As long as no invoice has been created from the quote, it can be deleted.
