Edit Date of invoice

Problem reported by Tim Davison 7 years ago

I want to go back and edit a date of an invoice, but it is 'greyed out' and cannot be edited. The error was an invoice copied and not changed the raised/due date.

The period is not locked.

Hi Tim - it may be blocked if the invoice has been paid or has appeared on a VAT return.

If it's just because it's paid, delete the payment, this should let you edit it, then reapply the payment. If it's because it's on a VAT return, you're stuck I think.

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Tim,

Just to clarify a little on what Paul wrote. If the transaction is on a VAT return that has been submitted then it is locked in. If the VAT return has been generated but yet to be submitted then it is still possible to delete the return, make the alteration and then re-create the VAT return ready for submission.

I hope this helps, Theo
