Important Note:

  • Reverting an invoice to draft might impact other invoices created with later end dates.

  • Invoices created with end dates after the invoice you're reverting may also be reverted to draft. You will receive a warning message listing the affected invoices. This ensures that all related invoices are updated consistently.


How to Revert the Invoice

If you are the active Approver, you can:

  1. Click the three dots at the top right of the invoice and select Reject.

2. Click Revert to Draft in the top right or within the warning bar.

3. You can now edit the Invoice by clicking the three dots at the top right and clicking Edit Invoice.


Who Can Revert to Draft?

Only users with the active approver role in the current approval workflow can revert an invoice to draft when its status is:

  • Pending Internal Approval

  • Internally Approved (but not yet sent to the client)

  • Internally Rejected

Not an Active Approver?

If you need to revert an invoice in the "Pending Internal Approval" status but are not listed as an approver, you can use the "Override Approver" function:

  1. Go to the Approvals tab for the invoice.

  2. Click "Override Approver."

  3. Assign a new approver (most likely yourself)
