🗑️ Invoice Recycle Bin
The Recycle Bin holds all invoices that have been deleted. Deleted invoices are not immediately removed — they are moved here and can be restored or permanently deleted.
Navigate to Invoices → Recycle Bin from the main menu.
Overview
The Recycle Bin shows a paginated table of all soft-deleted invoices (20 per page).
Search & Filter
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Search | Filter by invoice number or customer name |
| From Date | Show invoices deleted on or after this date |
| To Date | Show invoices deleted on or before this date |
The date range filters on the Deleted On timestamp, not the original invoice date.

|---|---|
| Invoice # | Invoice number, or (draft) for unnumbered draft invoices |

| Invoice Date | Original date the invoice was created |
| Status | Invoice status at the time of deletion |
| Total | Invoice total amount (₹) |
| Deleted On | Date and time the invoice was moved to the recycle bin |

Row Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Restore | Moves the invoice back to the active invoice list; the invoice retains its original status and data |
| Permanent Delete | Removes the invoice and all associated line items and payment records completely from the database — this cannot be undone |
danger
Permanent Delete is irreversible. All payment records and line items linked to that invoice are also deleted. Use Restore if you may need the invoice again.
