Good catch. But that would imply some serious mass editing on the part of the OP to clear the reconcile flag. (and most likely dimissing the warning during those edits) Neither is out of the question, but either or both would be rare for the OP to not remember doing so. Regards, Adrien On

I think this was a bug in early 5.x, but should be fixed as of 5.4 That said, you can't delete invoices. If you changed the Customer assigned to the invoice, it wouldn't show up on the original Customer Report. (did you change it back?) How are you searching for the invoice you can't seem to
