I just accidentally deleted an unpaid invoice. How can I recover it?

Let me take care of your deleted invoice concern, @brysnmk.

Right now, the option to recover or restore a deleted unpaid invoice is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. I have another idea you can perform to get around this.

You can use the Audit Log instead to get the invoice details. Then, recreate your invoice based on the said info. 

To access your Audit Log:

1. Click the Gear icon at the top, and then choose Audit Log under Tools.
   
2. On the Filter drop-down, select the appropriate User and Date.
3. Check the Transactions box under the Events filter.
4. Select Deleted/Voided Transactions from the Show drop-down.
5. Click Apply.
   
6. Choose View under the HISTORY column.
7. Review the said invoice.
   

For additional inputs, please head to this link: Use the Audit log to re-enter deleted transactions.

When you're ready, you can begin recreating the said invoice.

The good thing is, you can personalize your invoices to get the info that you need. If you wish to send or print them, you can do it in bulk to make your task easy and more efficient. For more details, please see this handy resource: Email or print multiple invoices.

I can help recover your deleted sales transactions in QuickBooks Online, JavyRam.

As mentioned by my colleague above, the ability to restore or recover deleted unpaid entries is unavailable in the program.

For now, you can utilize the Audit Log tool to retrieve information on the deleted transactions and recreate them manually. This provides a comprehensive record of added, deleted, and modified entries.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to proceed:

1. In your QBO account, go to the Gear icon and select Audit Log under the Tools column.
2. From there, modify and filter the Events dropdown to specify the Deleted/Voided transactions. You can also add filters to Users or Date Changed sections.
3. Once done, all deleted entries will be reflected from the list.
4. Find and choose the transaction. Then, click View under the History column.

Once you have the details, you can manually recreate the deleted entries.

I'll leave this thread available so you can reply in the comments below for any additional queries when managing deleted transactions in your account. Stay safe and have a good one.

Recreate? Meaning, create a new est? So, there's no way to bring back the deleted est? 

I can confirm that, Javy.

The option to recover deleted transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is unavailable. You can only retrieve the transaction's details in the Audit Log. With that, you'll need to recreate them, which means creating new estimates manually. I'll show you how.

First, open the Audit Log and get details about the estimates. Once done, refer to the following steps for recreating them:

1. Click the + New button, and select Estimate.
2. Enter the information according to the Audit Log.
3. Press the Manage Gear icon to change the status and customize the estimate.
4. Hit Save.

For further guidance in managing estimates, please refer to this article: Create and send estimates in QuickBooks Online.
