10.3 and 3.1 How to Restore a Deleted Household
Problem
How can we get a deleted household back in the system to pay off an old invoice?
Solution
You cannot restore a deleted household. Once a household has been deleted, it is permanently gone.
VSI does not recommend deleting households. It's better to inactivate a household so that if a situation like this happens, you can just re-activate it.
Possible workarounds:
1 Set up a dummy Household and call it 'Deleted Households' and use only for posting payments from old invoices. You could add a family member to correspond with the actual person who is making the payment.
2 Post the payment as Misc Income with a memo of the deleted household # and Invoice #.
