Voiding an invoice in QuickBooks is a simple but important task to keep your financial records accurate. When you void an invoice, it remains in your system for record-keeping but shows a zero balance, ensuring your books stay balanced without deleting any history. This is particularly useful if you issued an invoice by mistake or need to cancel a previously sent invoice.

To void an invoice, navigate to the invoice section in QuickBooks, select the invoice you want to void, and choose the “Void” option. Make sure to review the invoice details before confirming the action. Void invoices are marked clearly, helping you track changes and audit your accounts effectively. Void invoices affect your reports differently than deleted invoices, so it’s the preferred method for correction.
