Hi Charlie

If you have not pressed confirm button on the import then you can ignore the imported file and import again correctly. It overwrites the file.

If you have pressed confirm, then you have to either restore from backup or void the invoices individually.

There is a warning on the import page asking you to backup your data before importing just as a caution.

Hope this helps.

Best regards

We all learn this the hard way and, despite the warning, I only started using the backup feature after I made a complete mess of a huge imported file.

There have been several requests for a "bulk delete" feature, it would safe so much grief.

Sorry Charline, this hasn't helped you at all but I hope it's a comfort to know you are not alone :-)
