Restoring a Deleted Transaction
You can restore any deleted transaction within 90 days of deletion, returning it to its main list with all its data and financial impact fully intact.
Steps to Restore a Deleted Transaction
- Navigate to the desired transaction list (e.g., “Sales” → “Manage Invoices”, or “Purchases” → “Purchase Invoices”).
- From the transaction list, click the “Recycle Bin” icon.
- Locate the required transaction, then click “Restore” — either from the list actions or from the deleted transaction view screen, which only shows three buttons: Restore, Clone, and Permanently Delete.
- A message appears: “Transaction restored successfully.”
How the System Works
- The transaction returns to the main list with its original number and complete data.
- Journal entries are automatically regenerated from “Draft” status, payments return from “Suspended” to their normal status, and the transaction immediately resumes its effect on reports, balances, and accounts.
- The system supports bulk restoration by selecting multiple transactions at once — the message appears: “[N] transactions restored successfully.“
- The restoration is recorded in the activity log with the action type, user, timestamp, and transaction number.
Validation Rules
The system checks the transaction date against financial periods — if the date falls within a closed financial period, restoration is blocked and the following message appears: “This transaction cannot be restored! [Transaction] #number falls within a closed financial period. You can clone it instead.“ with two options: “Clone” and “Cancel.”
