Void an invoiced fee
When you void a fee, you reduce the total amount owed on a record, and you can then generate a new invoice. After you assess and invoice a fee, you can void the fee directly from a record, a point of sale, or the Payment processing page.
Note: If there is an existing payment toward a fee that you need to void, you can invoice the fee again, and then apply a credit toward the invoice.
Most agencies typically restrict the ability to void an invoiced fee to supervisors or other specific individuals. If you do not see a Void button in the toolbar, you cannot void invoiced fees.
Voiding an invoiced fee from a record allows you resolve minor billing errors.
