Manage self-billed invoices


Article Summary

Edit Self-Billed invoices

You can edit a self-billed invoice directly from the Bills view page. Navigate to ...More > Bills and open the record you wish to edit.

If the self-billed invoice is already issued, you need to change its status back to "Draft" before taking any action.

If there are payments received associated with it, they need to be removed from the document.

Delete Self-billed invoices

You may delete self-billed invoices in bulk or separately.

If a self-billed invoice is already issued, you need to change its status back to "Draft" prior to deletion. In order to prevent accidental data loss, Elorus will only allow you to delete documents which are in a ''Draft'' state.

If there are payments received associated with it, they need to be removed or deleted.

To change status, open the self-billed invoice you wish to delete and click Edit .

Delete a single self-billed invoice

Once you go back to editing you may click the Delete button, located at the bottom of the Draft document page, and the invoice will be permanently deleted.

Bulk deletion

Note

If a document isn't in draft status, no records will be deleted.

Important

Before permanently deleting an invoice, make sure that this action does not violate the serial numbering sequence rules. You run the risk of creating "gaps" in your numbering that you may not be able to fix afterwards.

Void self-billed invoices

  • A self-billed invoice must be Issued before it can be Void.

  • There should be no payments (received) associated with it.

If the requirements are met, click the (...) and Void.

Once you click Void a popup window will be displayed, as shown in the image below:

Hit "Yes, I'm sure" to proceed and Elorus will void the self-billed invoice immediately.

Please keep in mind that by voiding the invoice:

  • You will not be able to send the void invoice to your supplier via email.
  • The number cannot be used again and numbering will continue. For example, if the self-billed invoice you voided was number 12, the next one you'll add will get the number 13.
  • It remains in the system for future reference, but it is not included in Elorus Reports, or in Suppliers statements.
  • "Void" indication appears on the document when you view it and when you print it as well.

Deletion of Void self-billed invoices

To ensure your sequential numbering remains intact, you cannot delete a Void invoice. You can, however, turn it back to Issued from its overview page by clicking ... > Mark as issued and then proceed to Edit > Set back to Draft > Delete.

Bulk Actions

In addition to deleting self-billed invoices, there are many other actions you can perform in bulk. Go to Bills menu to find the options described below.

Email selected self-billed invoices

You may send via email self-billed invoices to your suppliers, in bulk or individually. To send in bulk, Self-billed invoices need to be Ιssued. For more details check our guide here.
