#Delete Confirmation

The Delete setting in System Defaults controls whether a confirmation dialog appears before deleting invoices and other records.

#Settings

Two delete-related options are available under Settings → System Defaults:

#Delete (system-wide)

When Enabled, a confirmation dialog pops up whenever you click a delete button anywhere in the application. This prevents accidental deletions.

When Disabled, delete actions happen immediately without confirmation. Use with caution.

This setting applies to:

• Deleting invoices
• Deleting payments
• Deleting customers, billers, products
• Deleting tax rates, payment types, payment terms
• All other record deletions

#Confirm Delete Line Item

Controls whether a confirmation dialog appears before removing a line item from an invoice form.

When Enabled: Clicking the delete icon on an invoice line item row shows a modal asking "Delete this line item?" before removing it. The line item is only visually hidden until you save the invoice.

When Disabled: Line items are removed immediately with no confirmation.

#How the Confirmation Dialog Works

The confirmation uses a Bootstrap 5 modal. The modal shows:

• A title describing what's being deleted
• Cancel and Delete buttons
• On Delete, the action proceeds; on Cancel, nothing happens

#Why Use Delete Confirmation

• Prevent data loss: especially important for invoices with payment history
• Accidental clicks: the extra step saves you from mis-clicks
• Team safety: if multiple users access the system, confirmations reduce mistakes

#Where to Configure

1. Go to Settings (admin menu) → System Defaults
2. Find Delete and Confirm Delete Line Item
3. Click Edit on each to set Enabled or Disabled
4. Click Save

Changes take effect immediately: no page reload needed to see the new behavior.
