NOTE: All actions shown here can also be done at a later time.
- Unlink the linked order, if any: by checking the following option, the system will disconnect the reversed invoice from the order, thus allowing it to be reissued from the order itself which will be billable again
- Abandon payment of invoice: By checking the following option, the system will abandon the pending payment of the reversed invoice, thus making it no longer due. In the column Status/Remaining, the status "ABANDONED" with the date of abandonment next to it
- Generate credit note with abandoned payment: by checking the following option, the system will abandon the pending payment of the credit note just issued, thus rendering it as not due. In the column Status/Remaining, the status "ABANDONED" with the date of abandonment next to it
