Bulk Invoice Operations

Bulk Invoice Operations

Managing multiple invoices at once saves valuable time. TallySpark's bulk operations let you update statuses, delete drafts, and export data for dozens of invoices with just a few clicks.

Selecting Multiple Invoices

The invoice table includes powerful selection tools:

• Checkbox Column - Each invoice row has a checkbox for individual selection
• Select All Checkbox - Located in the table header, selects all invoices on the current page
• Selection Counter - Shows "X items selected" when invoices are selected

To select invoices:

1. Navigate to Invoices from your sidebar
2. Check the boxes next to invoices you want to modify
3. Or use Select All for all visible invoices
4. The bulk actions bar appears automatically

Bulk Status Changes

When you've selected multiple invoices, the bulk actions bar displays available operations:

• Mark as Sent - Updates draft invoices to sent status
• Mark as Paid - Records payment received for multiple invoices

To update invoice statuses in bulk:

1. Select the invoices you want to update
2. Click the appropriate action button
3. Confirm the action in the dialog
4. A success notification shows how many invoices were updated

Bulk Delete Operations

You can delete multiple draft invoices at once:

1. Select the draft invoices you want to remove
2. Click Delete Selected (red trash icon)
3. Confirm deletion in the warning dialog

Safety Note: You can only bulk delete invoices in draft status. Sent, paid, or partially paid invoices must be deleted individually.

Exporting Selected Invoices

The export dropdown lets you download invoice data in multiple formats:

• CSV - Import into spreadsheets or accounting software
• Excel - Full-featured Excel workbook with formatting
• PDF - Professional documents for printing or sharing

To export invoices:

1. Apply filters to narrow down your invoice list (optional)
2. Select specific invoices, or use Select All
3. Click the Export dropdown in the table header
4. Choose your preferred format
5. The file downloads automatically

Best Practices for Bulk Operations

• Use Filters First - Narrow down invoices by status, client, or date
• Review Your Selection - Check the item counter before taking action
• Work in Batches - For large operations, process in smaller groups
• Double-Check Deletions - Deleted draft invoices can't be recovered
• Export Before Bulk Changes - Create a backup if making significant updates
