What is the Edit Feature for Partially Paid Invoices?​

This feature allows you to modify invoices after a payment has been made. Whether you need to adjust payment terms, update tax details, or add a new product mid-project, you can make changes directly to a partially paid invoice, ensuring everything stays accurate and up-to-date.

Key Benefits of Editing Partially Paid Invoices​

Managing ongoing or changing customer needs is now easier with flexible invoice editing:

  • Edit invoice details such as name, due date, terms, and notes.
  • Add, remove, or update products—even create new ones instantly.
  • Modify the invoice total, taxes, and business details as needed.
  • 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. Navigate 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.
