How to Unvoid an Invoice in Xero

Use this interactive demo to learn how to restore a voided invoice in Xero.

Quick summary

To unvoid an invoice in Xero, you must search for the voided record using the Include Deleted & Voided filter, then use the Copy to Draft Invoice option to restore and reactivate it. Xero does not offer a direct unvoid button, so this workaround creates a new active invoice from the voided one.


Steps

  1. On Xero's main dashboard, head to the top menu bar and click Business.
  2. Choose Invoices from the dropdown list of options.
  3. Click the Search button at the top-right corner of the Invoices page.
  4. Tick the checkbox beside Include Deleted & Voided, then click Search to display voided invoices.
  5. Find and open the voided invoice you wish to restore.
  6. Tap the More Options button at the top-right corner of the invoice view.
  7. Click Copy to Draft Invoice to duplicate the voided invoice as a new draft.
  8. Review the invoice details and make any necessary changes, then tap Approve & Email or Save & Close.
  9. The voided invoice is now reactivated as a new active invoice awaiting payment.

📌 Why this matters

Accidentally voiding an invoice in Xero can disrupt accounts receivable and create gaps in your financial records. Knowing how to unvoid an invoice in Xero — by copying it to a draft and reapproving it — lets finance teams recover billing records quickly without manual data re-entry. This process is essential for small businesses and accountants who need accurate, audit-ready invoicing in Xero. Mastering this workflow reduces revenue delays and keeps cash flow management on track.
