remove the delete invoice ability

is there any way to remove from whmcs the ability to delete invoices?

regards

Nope, there isn't but there are third-party addons that restricts Edit, Delete, Mass Pay and Merge of invoices.

do you mean to prevent WHMCS deleting invoices itself, or the removal of the red "Delete" button from the admin Invoices page ?

hi,  Gearhead

the removal of the red "Delete" button from the admin Invoices page would be enough

Hi Kian, 

any example of such addon?

you could remove the big red mass delete button from the bottom of the invoices page using an action hook, but not necessarily the individual delete buttons from each invoice.

the simplest solution would be to go to setup -> staff management -> administrator roles -> *choose the role you want to deny deleting invoices to* -> untick "Delete Invoices" checkbox...

the small red delete buttons will still be there on the invoices page, but WHMCS will prevent the invoice from being deleted - e.g only those admin users with permission to delete invoices can do so.

he's probably talking about his own addon - Billing Extension. 🤑

Nah 😀 Years ago I'm sure that there was another module or action hook. Probably it was on Ghithub I can't remember. Anyway this feature is not yet part of the module you linked. It still have to be included in a new release.

thanks, Brian! 

that solves the delete question

we need also to disallow invoice changes.  But i know it´s a pending implementation on whmcs, desired in many countries

I always tend to assume a) that you are thinking of BX and b) most missing invoicing features in WHMCS will be available in that addon! 😀

to stop an admin from doing it, you could try unchecking the "Manage Invoices"...

to stop WHMCS (software) doing it internally is really a policy decision for WHMCS (company) to make - I doubt you'll see it in v7.6, so you may be looking at a later version in a few months at the earliest.
