Void an Invoice? (not really "Cancel")

Dear community,

I’m coming from Xero software for invoicing to Odoo, and in Xero there was a feature to void an invoice where it stays non-editable, yet no longer requires any payments. Use-case: invoice was sent to customer but for some reason the deal was cancelled.
Is it a thing in Odoo?

Kind regards,
Alexey

    With "state cancelation" i meant the Odoo "state" field and its value "cancel", which you don't want to use. You want to let the invoice stand as it is and either cancel it "accounting-wise" or correct it (which implies the cancel, too). And you do that in Odoo with the "add credit note" feature.

    Best Regards
    Christian

    I’m talking about state cancellation, not accounting when invoice is “deemed paid” via Credit Note. In other words, invoice was issued yet was voided due to mistake, change of mind, etc. It still has a number, still should not be editable to keep records in check, etc. “Cancel” in Odoo means “revertable” state to draft, yet there’s no state that “Cancel and Locked, Final”.

    Hi,

    please don't mix up state cancelation with accounting cancelation. The second one was already answered very clearly by using Odoo's "add credit note" functionality.

    Version 13 there is a button "Reset to Draft" >> "Cancel"
    Version 12.0 and under you need to install a module for allowing cancel journals the check "allow cancel" on the journal then you get a cancel button on the invoices.

    This is not legal in most countries, correct is to add a credit note/refund for the full amount

    Why not using Pro-Forma invoices ?
