Void unsubmitted items to remove them instantly, or void submitted items to cancel them before the next submission.

**Business Value**

* Remove items added by mistake before submission — no void trace, no invoice clutter.
* Cancel previously submitted items without forcing an immediate invoice submission.
* Full control over the void process — nothing is auto-submitted, you decide when to submit.
* Waste, Discount %, and Discount Amount actions are limited to a single item for accuracy.

**Use Cases**

* Waiter adds the wrong dish before submitting — they void it and it disappears completely from the order, no void line left behind.
* Cashier needs to cancel a submitted item — a void line is created and held until they tap Submit, keeping control over when the kitchen receives the cancellation.
* Supervisor tries to apply a waste action on two items at once — the system blocks the action and requires selecting a single item.

**How It Works**

**Voiding an Item**

| **Where:** POS → Cashiering |
| --------------------------- |

1. Select one or more items on the cashiering screen.
2. Tap Void.

**The system behaves differently depending on whether the item has been submitted:**

| **Item**  | **Void Line**                     | **Status**           |
| --------- | --------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| Breakfast | None — item is removed instantly  | Not yet submitted    |
| Breakfast | Void line with reddish background | Previously submitted |

**If the Item Was Not Yet Submitted**

* The item is removed from the order immediately — no trace, no void line.

**If the Item Was Previously Submitted**

* A void line is added directly after the voided item.
* Both the voided item and the void line are shown with a reddish background so they stand out clearly.
* The void line is NOT submitted automatically — it is sent only when you tap Submit.

| **Important: Voiding does not auto-submit the invoice.**  The cancellation is only sent to the system when you tap Submit. Until then, the void line remains pending. |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

**Single-Item Restriction for Waste, Discount %, and Discount Amount**

The following actions are only allowed when exactly one item is selected:

* Waste
* Discount %
* Discount Amount

| **If more than one item is selected, these actions will be blocked.**  Select a single item first, then apply the action. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| **This applies to all POS instances regardless of FDM (Fiscal Device Manager) status.** |
