How do I edit an invoice that's been accidentally marked paid

Thanks for dropping by the Community space, kris-gottago.

Editing your invoice status is a breeze, and I'm here to help you. Let’s go to the Invoice page to change it.

Here’s how:

1. In your QBSE company, tap the Invoices menu on the left panel.
2. From the list, choose the entry you’re working on.
3. Then, click the View drop-down under the Action column to select Mark as unpaid.

HI,

Thank you for your help.  I don't have the mark as unpaid option on my drop down menu.

Thanks for keeping in touch with us here in the Community, kris-gottago.

We're unable to mark an invoice as unpaid in QuickBooks Self-Employed. This is the reason you didn't see the option. As a workaround, I recommend duplicating the invoice and deleting the paid one.

Here's how to duplicate the invoice:

1. Go to the Invoices menu.
2. Locate the paid invoice you'd like to delete.
3. Click the drop-down menu under the Action column.
4. Select Duplicate.
5. Click on Save.

Once done, let's delete the other paid invoice.

1. Go to the Invoices menu.
2. Locate the paid invoice you'd like to delete.
3. Click the drop-down menu under the Action column.
4. Select Delete.
5. Click Yes to confirm.

For your visual reference, I've attached a screenshot below.

I have the same issue, can't mark invoice unpaid, did you figure it out or are you stuck waiting for the invoice to get paid ?  :)

Great workaround, but wouldn't it be easier to add the unpaid option :) 

Spoken like a real sw engineer

Only solution I've been given is to delete the invoice and create a new one with the same invoice number to replace it. As far as I can tell there is no other option.
