Editing Invoices

After clicking Edit, your invoice will become modifiable.

  1. The “Edit Invoice” button switches to a “Cancel Edit” link with a “Save” button below the totals.
  2. Item (unit) price can be edited for each supported line item. Prices can be edited to higher or lower than the original sale price.
  3. Quantity can be edited as well. This means items can be removed from an invoice by setting qty to 0, or adjustments can be made if certain items need to be reduced in quantity. Currently the limitation is that the quantity can not be increased above the qty available for invoicing on the Sales Order, but a future update will allow this.
  4. Invoice Date can be edited.
  5. Invoice Details such as Net Terms, Due Date and allowed payment methods can be changed.
  6. Totals, including Shipping Amount, Discount, Surcharge, Tax and Fees can be adjusted.
  7. Request Deposit can be enabled/disabled or modified (click here for Deposit Request feature guide).

Changing these amounts does not affect the Order. You are simply changing the items or amounts that the customer is being asked to pay through the Invoice.

Editing Item Price and Qty to Invoice

You can change the price of each item and how many there are on each invoice. The Subtotal of the invoice will change to match the item quantity and price after clicking Update underneath the edited field.

The Shipping amount will not change based on the items and must be manually edited on the invoice along with other Invoice Totals.

There must be at least one (1) item on an Invoice.

Editing Shipping, Discount, Surcharge, and Tax Amounts
