Author Best Answer

In certain cases you might run into the issue of having a bunch of validated (test) invoices in your database even before going live with accounting. In order to clean those out, follow the next simple steps: 

1. Create a server action and create the contextual action for it:

for am in records:  

  am.button_draft()

  am.write({'name': '/'})


It should look like this:


2. Go to the invoice model and make sure all invoices you want to delete are in 'cancelled' state

3. Select said invoices > action > execute server action 

4. Finally, don't forget to delete the server action once your invoices have been deleted. Indeed, this kind of action is considered as a python code execution, and if you are not on your own repository, it will generate code maintenance fees to pay every month.

If these Invoices were created by Sales Orders or Purchase Orders, be sure to check if those documents need to be cleaned up, as you could have received or delivered goods and have an accounting impact that you also want to clear.
