How to Edit Invoices After Delivery
By default, once an order is marked as delivered, the system locks the invoice to prevent accidental changes. However, there may be situations where you need to adjust quantities, update items, or modify payment amounts on a completed order. This guide explains how to enable the Can edit invoice after delivery setting and use it to modify past orders.
Part 1: Enabling the Feature in Settings
Before you can edit delivered orders, you must enable the permission in your global POS settings.
- Navigate to your system Settings and open the POS settings panel.
- Scroll through the configuration options until you locate the Can edit invoice after delivery setting.
- Switch the toggle to the ON (green) position.
- Click the Save Settings button at the bottom of the screen to apply your changes.

Part 2: Editing a Delivered Invoice
Once the setting is enabled, you can update invoices from the order history screen.
- Navigate to the Orders or Invoice List screen.
- Locate the delivered invoice you wish to edit. You can use the search bar to quickly find the specific order by entering an order ID, customer name, or mobile number.

- Click the View icon (the green button with an eye symbol) located on the right side of the delivered invoice row to open its details.
- On the invoice view screen, make your necessary modifications. You can adjust item quantities using the + and - buttons, or manually update the pricing amounts.
- As you make changes, verify that the Grand Total at the bottom of the order panel updates accordingly.

Important Note
If you disable the "Can edit invoice after delivery" toggle in the settings, the system will immediately restrict all modifications. You will no longer be able to open or edit any invoice that has already completed the delivery process.
