Has anyone found a way to remove old invoices? I am using a GnuCash accounting file for a different business, but I want to retain the same customers. I followed the steps below to remove the old transactions and use the same chart of accounts. I discovered today that the old file also retained all of the previous invoices, and I didn’t find a command to delete them. Is there anyway to remove the old invoices?
If not, I think I will need to start from scratch and re-import the customers. Unfortunately, that would mean having to go through each customer and reestablish the billing terms and sales tax table assignements. > On Mar 20, 2021, at 6:30 PM, Geoff <cleanoutmys...@gmail.com> wrote: > > How about: > .
