Editing of Payment Schedules and Partially Paid Invoices

This article will show you how to edit invoices even after they’ve been partially paid. You can now update invoice details, product line items, payment schedules, and business information—without needing to void or reissue the invoice.

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.
