How create an invoice from an old transaction?

[Cafe_Del_Escult]

Good afternoon everyone.

Im trying to create an invoice from an old transaction but im not able to.

I read in the community that is not possible so my question is, how do i create an invoice without duplicating the transaction?

What i did was the following:

1) Create an invoice adding the same items that i had in the transaction

2) Mark the invoice as "payed"

Should i do anything else in the system? (like refund from the old transaction?)

Thanks in advanced

I'm confused as to what is you are trying to accomplish? If you don't want a duplicate transaction then you'll have to refund the 1st transaction otherwise it will hit your books twice.
