Once approved, invoices in Shine can no longer be edited directly, but you have two supported options to correct mistakes:
Option 1: Cancel and recreate the invoice
Use this if the invoice has not yet been sent to the customer.
- Go to the invoice > click the 3 dots > Delete
- Create a new invoice if needed
The new invoice will get the next available number in your sequence.
Option 2: Issue a credit note and recreate
Recommended if the invoice was already sent or if payment was received.
- Go to the invoice > click the 3 dots > Delete
- Approve the credit note
- Create a new invoice
This keeps your records accurate and audit-ready.
Good to know
Drafts can be edited or deleted anytime — but cannot be restored after deletion.
