How to cancel an invoice if client does not make payment


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
If you've issued a GST invoice but the client hasn't paid, you cannot simply delete it as it's already been reported for GST. The correct procedure is to issue a credit note with GST against the original invoice. This allows you to reclaim the GST paid on items that were never paid for.
