What should I pay attention at?

Deleting an invoice is *irrevocable*. Data is lost and can not be recovered.

Deletion should only be used in exceptional cases; *cancelling or reversing invoices are recommended* instead of deleting, especially if the invoice has already been sent to the customer or to the accounting.

Deleting an invoice will leave a gap in the invoices series it belongs to. For example, if you have invoices 100, 101 and 102 and delete invoice 101, number 101 will no longer be automatically assigned. You’ll need to manually set the number when you issue the next invoice to keep the series sequence.

If you delete the last invoice in a series, its number will automatically be assigned to the next invoice.
