Step 2: Where do you start the delete flow?

1. From the SaasAnt dashboard, select Delete

Step 3: Which delete method should you choose?

Choose one:

• Delete by Reference: Use this when you already know the exact invoice numbers or reference values you want to delete.

• Delete by Searching: Use this when you want to find invoices using filters (example: duplicates by customer, amount, or date).

Select your method, then select Next.

Step 4: How do you set invoice type and date filters?

1. Set Transaction Type to Invoice

2. Choose the date type you want to filter by:
   

   • Created Date: When the invoice was first created in QuickBooks

   • Transaction Date: The invoice date shown on the invoice

   • Last Updated Date: When the invoice was last edited in QuickBooks

3. Enter the date range

1. Select "Customize."

2. Apply the filters you need, such as:
   

   • Total amount range or balance range

   • Customer name

   • Reference number

   • Line item details (use Detailed Report when you want a fuller line-level view)

3. Select "Search" to load matching invoices.

Step 6: How do you review, back up, and delete?

1. Review the search results carefully

2. Select the invoices you want to delete

3. Download a backup (CSV or Excel) before deleting

4. Select Delete

5. Confirm the delete in the pop-up

Important: Deleting is not reversible. Always take the backup first and delete in smaller batches if you are removing a large volume.

Step 7: Where do you see the deletion summary?

After deletion, SaasAnt shows a Deletion Summary. This summary is available to download for up to 2 days and can be used for records and audit tracking.

Troubleshooting

What if no invoices show up after the search?

Check these:

• Confirm that the date type and date range match when the invoices were created or edited

• Remove filters one by one (customer, amount, reference) to broaden the search

What if you deleted the wrong invoices?

You cannot undo a delete in QuickBooks Online. Use your SaaSant backup file to recreate the invoices if needed, or restore them using your own backup process if available.
