This button allows you to delete unpaid invoice allocations associated with a specific schedule, provided these invoices have no partial payments or deferrals. It's designed to streamline the process of managing financial records, especially when a student changes schedules or withdraws, by enabling the removal of associated invoices before deleting a schedule record. The button appears only when there are eligible invoices for deletion and is available to you with the necessary billing and invoicing permissions. Additionally, the system will create "AR Invoice Unaccrued" journals for each deleted allocation, ensuring financial records remain accurate and up-to-date.

In order to delete invoices, you must have permission to Delete Transactions via Users > Profiles > Billing tab.

The student's schedule displays once the student is selected.
