If you typed a bill wrong, you can correct it or remove it and start again.
Edit a bill
Open the purchase order and click the Bills tab.
Click the bill.
Click Edit in the top right.
Change the quantities, unit costs or dates.
Click Save.
Delete a bill
Open the bill.
Click Delete bill.
The quantities go back to unbilled, and you can enter a replacement.
Deleting a bill does not touch your stock
Deleting a bill does not touch your stock. Stock comes from receiving, not billing. If you delete a bill the goods stay exactly where they are — you have removed the record of what you owe, nothing more.
Deleting the purchase order deletes its bills too, without warning. If you only want to remove the bill, delete the bill. Never delete the order to get rid of a bill. See Cancel or delete a purchase order.
Editing the order instead
If the vendor's price was different from the order, you have two choices:
If you | What changes |
Edit the bill | only this bill changes — the order still shows the original price |
Edit the order | the order changes and every bill on it is rewritten to match |
Edit the bill when the invoice is a one-off difference. Edit the order when the price has genuinely changed going forward.
How to know it worked
The bill shows your corrected figures, or is gone from the Bills tab. The Billing progress bar updates either way.
