Editing and deleting invoices
Everhour allows you to view, modify, or delete issued invoices at any time. However, the available editing capabilities depend on whether the invoice belongs to an internal client or an external client synced with an accounting integration.
1. Editing & Deleting Internal Client Invoices
To edit an invoice created for an internal client, navigate to the Invoices page and click on the invoice title to open its Preview page.
- Edit Invoice: Click Edit Invoice on the left side of the header to open the invoice draft. From here, you can update line items, rates, descriptions, date ranges, tax rates, and client details.
Note: Manually adjusting time or amounts directly inside the invoice editor applies strictly to the invoice itself; underlying tracked time in Everhour reports remains unchanged. - Delete Invoice: Open the More Actions dropdown on the right side and select Delete. Deleting an internal invoice removes the record permanently and marks all associated time entries as uninvoiced so they can be billed again.
2. Handling External / Exported Client Invoices
For external clients integrated with third-party accounting tools (such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks), editing options in Everhour depend on export status:
Before Export
Before an invoice is exported, you can freely edit or delete it using the standard options on the Preview page, just like internal invoices.
After Export
Once an invoice is copied (exported) to your accounting software, it is locked against further editing or deletion inside Everhour. Clicking the invoice title in Everhour will open the corresponding invoice directly inside your external accounting application.
Deleting Exported Invoices
If you delete an exported invoice inside your accounting software, Everhour detects the change and automatically updates the invoice status to Deleted on the Everhour Invoices page.
To release the associated time entries back to an uninvoiced state in Everhour:
- Click on the deleted invoice entry in Everhour to open its Preview page.
- Click Delete to confirm removal from Everhour.
- All associated time entries will be reset to uninvoiced and made available for future billing.
