Edit a receipt
Goal
Understand when a receipt can be changed after posting.
Who it is for
Normally AR clerks do not edit posted receipts. Platform super-admin may update posted voucher snapshots with receipts.manage.
Preconditions
- Receipt status is posted (not reversed) for the elevated edit path.
- Tenant users: treat posted receipts as immutable — correct by reversal process / new receipt as your ops policy allows.
Steps
- Open the receipt from Receipts.
- If you are a day-to-day clerk: review allocations only; do not expect an Edit action.
- If you are platform super-admin and Edit is available: adjust allocation metadata carefully. Update does not re-post GL or settlement — it replaces stored allocation metadata only.
- Reversed vouchers are not editable.
Result
You either leave the posted receipt unchanged (normal path) or apply an elevated snapshot edit without re-posting.
Hard stops
Posted immutable for tenants; reversed not editable; allocation exceeds document rules on create (re-create rather than patch for clerks).
