# How to Cancel a Receipt

> Cancel a pending goods receipt to remove it from the system and maintain accurate stock records.

## Cancelling a Receipt

If a receipt was created in error or is no longer needed, you can cancel it — provided it has not yet been processed.

<Warning>Only receipts with a status of **Pending** can be cancelled. Once a receipt has been received or completed, it cannot be cancelled.</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to the receipts screen">
    On the left-hand menu, click **Goods In** then **Receipts**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the receipt to cancel">
    Find and click on the receipt you want to cancel. Verify that its status is **Pending**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cancel the receipt">
    Click the blue **Cancel** button at the top of the screen. The receipt status will change to **Cancelled**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>Cancelling a pending receipt does not affect stock levels, since the goods have not been processed. Products linked to the cancelled receipt will not be booked in.</Info>
