It is important to understand the status of an invoice.

  1. Draft : This status is when an invoice has been created and not issued to the customer yet, in this status, an invoice can be edited at any time.

  2. Issued: This is when an invoice has been sent to the customer. At this status you can only cancel the invoice but not delete it.

  3. Paid: This status means the customer has paid the amount of the invoice. In this status, an invoice is not editable.

  4. Cancelled (Void): This is when an invoice is cancelled due to any business reason.You can only void an invoice that hasn’t been paid yet. You can see a cancelled invoice but not the customer.

  5. Deleted: As its name implies, this is when an invoice is deleted. Note that only invoices in draft status can be deleted.
