Editing Purchase Invoices

Use the Edit Purchase Invoice window to change existing purchase invoices. Edits cannot be made in the following cases:

A purchase invoice has payments applied against it (e.g., paid in full).
(Credits can be unapplied on edit, then reapplied on Save)

A purchase invoice has credits applied against it (e.g., an issued cheque). Credits must be unapplied first.

Any credits generated by the purchase invoice have been applied elsewhere.

A purchase invoice is dated in a closed accounting period.

Suppliers cannot be changed if the purchase invoice has references to inventory receipt or purchase order rows (items) or if the location has been changed.

Tips

If the purchase invoice you want to edit does not appear in the grid, click New Search and change the filtering criteria.

The Created By box displays when and who added the purchase invoice to the database. The Updated By box displays when and who updated the purchase invoice last.
