What is it?
Via the detail page of a draft you can delete drafts that are no longer needed — e.g. when you mistyped and want to start over.
How to delete
- Open the invoice in the detail view.
- Click "Delete draft" at the bottom in the actions column.
- Confirm in the dialog.
What you cannot delete
- Final invoices — GoBD obligation, only cancellation possible
- Cancelled or credited invoices — same reason
Permission
You need the Delete transactions permission. This is separate from Create & edit transactions, so that only selected people are allowed to delete.
Frequently asked questions
Can I delete a finalized invoice?▾
No. Final invoices are subject to GoBD and must never be deleted. You can only cancel them — this creates a credit note, and the transaction stays documented in the security log.
What exactly happens when deleting?▾
The draft is immediately removed from your overview, but kept in the background for 30 days and only then permanently deleted. Within this 30-day window the support team can restore an accidentally deleted draft if needed.
Who is allowed to delete?▾
Only people with the **Delete transactions** permission. This should be granted sparingly (usually only the board / treasurer).
Can I restore deleted drafts myself?▾
No, there is no restore button for invoices in the interface. Within the 30-day window after deletion, Chorilo support can restore the draft on request. After that it is gone for good.
Is the deletion logged?▾
Yes — every deletion is recorded in your choir's security log with person, time and affected invoice.
