Learn how to void or delete transactions in QuickBooks Online.

You can void or delete duplicate or unnecessary transactions to keep your balances accurate. When you void a transaction, you keep a record of the transaction in your books that don’t affect your totals.

Important

  • You can’t undo a voided transaction.

  • Voided transactions are zero and show as void in your records.

  • You remove a transaction everywhere except the audit log when you delete it. The transaction number doesn't change.

  • You can delete a voided transaction and create a new one to reverse it.

  • You can use the audit log to re-enter a deleted transaction.
