Maybe we should add 2 more invoice statuses: VOID and UNCOLLECTIBLE.
Voided invoices
Voiding an invoice should be conceptually similar to deleting (canceling) it or a soft delete. However, voiding an invoice maintains a paper trail, which will allow us to look up the invoice by number. Voided invoices would be treated as zero-value for reporting purposes.
We should be able to void invoices only when they’re in either the SENT or UNCOLLECTIBLE status.
Uncollectible invoices
Sometimes we have customers who can’t pay their overdue bills. For example, assume that you supply 1000 EUR worth of services to your customer, but they’ve since declared bankruptcy, and (even after liquidating assets) won’t be able to pay the outstanding invoice balance.
As a result, you decide to write off the invoice as unlikely to be paid. In this scenario, you can update the status of the invoice to be uncollectible. This allows you to track the amount owed for reporting purposes as part of your bad-debt accounting process
We could have the following workflow:
