Note

If something goes wrong with an invoice you could cancel it and raise a new one. Please note that if you report your invoices to a downstream Accounting package - MYOB or XERO 

, you could track them there and then you will be able to cancel and raise a new invoice. But if you are doing an aggregate reporting back in to MYOB or XERO do not cancel the invoice. Instead change the invoice to a draft status and fix the issue.

When you cancel an invoice it will still stay in Paradigm as a record, but it will break the connection back to the Unit Enrolment.

Please note that it is a good idea to have less cancel invoices.

Info

General Invoice could have any line items except the unit enrolments

Ex : Text book fee

      Accommodation fee

Please do not add unit enrolments to a General Invoice
