Disappeared or missing invoices

You opened Billdu and one or more invoices are no longer visible. This article covers the most common reasons invoices seem to disappear and how to find them again.

Most common reasons invoices seem to be missing

  • The date filter is set to "This year" or "This month" - invoices from other periods are hidden

  • You are logged in to the wrong account or the wrong business

  • Your fiscal year start date is set incorrectly, which shifts what the date filters show

  • You are a team member with Employee access - Employees can only see documents they created themselves

  • The invoice was created offline, and the number was not yet assigned - it may appear differently in the list

Check the date filter first

This is the most common cause. Billdu shows documents filtered by date by default.

  • Mobile app - tap "This year" at the top of the invoice list and change it to "Last year" or "Lifetime"

  • Website - find the date filter in the top row of your invoice list and change it to "Lifetime" or a broader range

  • If the invoice still does not appear, check your fiscal year settings under Settings - VAT settings - Tax year starts - an incorrect fiscal year start date can hide invoices from certain periods

Check you are in the right account and business

  • Make sure you are logged in with the correct email address - you may have more than one Billdu account

  • If you have multiple businesses in your account, check that you have switched to the correct one

  • Mobile app - tap your business name on the Home screen or go to Settings and select your business

  • Website - click your business name in the top right corner and select the correct business

Check your team member permissions

  • If you are a team member with an Employee role, you can only see invoices you created yourself

  • Invoices created by other team members will not appear in your list

  • Contact the account owner to check permissions or switch the role to Manager under Settings - My team

Search for the invoice directly

  • Use the search function to look up the invoice by number, client name, or total amount

  • On the website, make sure the correct client is saved on the invoice - if the client name is wrong, the invoice may not appear in filtered searches

  • Set the date filter to "Lifetime" before searching to make sure no invoices are excluded

If you recently reinstalled the app

  • All your data is stored securely on Billdu's servers - reinstalling the app does not delete any invoices

  • Log in again with your email address and all your invoices will reappear

  • Before reinstalling, always check that your data is visible on the Billdu website first

If invoices are missing after changing team member or device

  • Each team member logs in with their own email address

  • If a team member's role is set to Employee, they will only see their own documents

  • Check that the correct account email is being used to log in on the new device
