# **What is the Edit Feature for Partially Paid Invoices?**

This feature allows you to modify invoices after a payment has already been made. Whether it’s adjusting payment terms, updating tax details, or adding a new product mid-project, you can now make changes directly to a partially paid invoice and keep everything accurate and up to date.

## **Key Benefits of Editing Partially Paid Invoices**

Managing ongoing or changing customer needs is easier than ever with invoice editing flexibility.

    •    Edit invoice details like name, due date, terms, and notes.

    •    Add, remove, or update products—even create new ones on the fly.

    •    Modify the invoice total, taxes, and associated business details.

    •    Fully control and edit payment schedules, including due dates and amounts.

    •    Resend the updated invoice to the customer without reissuing it.

## **How to Edit a Partially Paid Invoice**

Once an invoice has received a payment, it enters the **partially paid** state. You can still make updates using the following steps:

    1.    Go to the **Payments** or **Invoices** module.

    2.    Open the invoice that is in **Partially Paid** status.

    3.    Click **Edit** next to any of the following sections:

    •    **Invoice Details**: Update the invoice name, due date, terms, or notes.

    •    **Products**: Add/remove products or create a new product instantly.

    •    **Amounts and Business Info**: Adjust pricing, taxes, or business details.

    •    **Payment Schedule**: Edit existing schedules or add/delete payment milestones.

    4.    Make your changes and click **Save**.

    5.    Optional: Click **Resend Invoice** to send the updated version to your client.

All updates reflect immediately and maintain invoice continuity without requiring you to void and reissue.

    •    **Avoid Reissuing Invoices**: Maintain audit trails and reduce confusion by editing instead of starting over.

    •    **Real-Time Workflow Adjustments**: Make changes on the fly without interrupting the billing or delivery process.
