Overview
Should an invoice needs to be cancelled, if it has already had payments applied to it, or it has been fully paid, then it is a must to delete the payments that have been made to the items in the invoice and all the items associated with the invoice before you can truly set its status to Cancelled. This knowledge article will guide you on how to cancel an enrolment invoice which has already been paid, and if need be – re-issue it in the future.
For all other invoice status / circumstance which needs to be cancelled, refer to the How-To Guide(s) section below.
