Is there a facility to delete invoices? I know I can delete orders, but due to special circumstances, I need to delete some invoices.

We merged three databases into one a while back, and the old invoices are not leaving the current listing of invoices. I looked in history, and the invoices are listed there too, and it looks like when we do our month end procedure of purging history, they are definitely getting purged out of there.

The problem is with the current listing of invoices. We actually have some invoices in there from 2003, which tells me they are not going to leave. This is just for older invoices (pre-merge). Since the data merge, invoices older than three months are sent to history each month, as they should be. So basically if I can just delete the pre-merge invoices, things should then work fine each month.

Possible?

You cannot delete individual invoices, these are part of your audit trail.

The likley reason for invoices to stay in the current file is that the print status needs to be updated from not printed to printed. Printing the invoices to file will update the status and save paper. When you next run Day End they should be gone.

Thanks, Doug, you are a genius. That worked like a charm. The only trick was printing multiple invoices to file, but eventually I figured a way round that. In OE, along the top left hand, there is a button marked 'Order Entry'; when you click it, you can print multiple invoices, but NOT to file. In the main page that loads when we open, there is only a facility to print one at a time, which would take forever, since there were 592 to get rid of. I finally used the 'Order Entry' tab, and chose a PDF printer we have. Printed it to that, it created its own file, and VOILA. I ran a day end, and all is clean and tidy now! I can go home and drink wine to celebrate.

Thanks again!

Barb:

Sounds like a great plan (going home and having a glass of wine).

Hi Barb,

That's why Doug's worth the big bucks.
