# Updating or deleting an unpaid cancellation fee

When you cancel a booking with a fee attached, BookingTimes raises an invoice for the amount the client forfeits. If that invoice is still unpaid, you can change the amount you want the client to forfeit or clear it completely straight from the booking — no need to touch the invoice separately.

> [!NOTE]
> This applies to any cancelled booking with an unpaid cancellation fee (shown in red on the client's History tab).

## Deleting an unpaid cancellation fee

### Steps

1. To **Delete** the **Cancellation Fee** entirely, follow the exact same steps above and select **Nothing ($0.00)** as the amount that the **Client Forfeits**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6926c75e-9b20-4216-bf9f-d7ca1df9c74f/Images/Documentation/image-4L0ATBYK.png)

1. On the **Booking** tab, you can now see the **Cancellation Fee** reads **$0.00** and the **Cancellation Invoice** link is no longer visible. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6926c75e-9b20-4216-bf9f-d7ca1df9c74f/Images/Documentation/image-ICIN9VRX.png)

1. You can confirm the adjustment via the **Audit** tab on the booking record. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6926c75e-9b20-4216-bf9f-d7ca1df9c74f/Images/Documentation/image-MZAUZ31K.png)

1. As the invoice for the **Cancellation Fee** has now been deleted it will be hidden from the default view on the **History** tab. To view the invoice simply click the **Show Delete Records** link. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6926c75e-9b20-4216-bf9f-d7ca1df9c74f/Images/Documentation/image-KX5WF5W7.png)
