If you have invoices that haven’t been paid, you might be wondering if you should just delete them. The short answer is NO.
Deleting invoices can mess with your records and throw off your reports.
A better option is to follow up on unpaid invoices and send reminders or offer a payment plan.
If the invoice was already paid but still shows as open, check that it’s properly matched to the deposit.
If you know the invoice won’t be collected, mark it as bad debt to keep your records accurate.
It’s also a good idea to check for duplicates in case the invoice was recreated instead of applied.
Keeping your books clean makes tax time easier and gives you a better picture of your business finances.
