Policies and limitations to modify an invoice after the accounts export

This article explains the policies and limitations for modifying invoices after they have gone through the accounts export process.

Written by Cristian Bolba

When dealing with invoices that have already been exported, it is important to understand the policies and limitations regarding modifications. Below is a comprehensive guide to help clarify these rules.

Overview of Invoice Modification Policies

Once an invoice has been exported, the ability to make changes is significantly restricted. This ensures the integrity of financial records and compliance with accounting practices. Any modifications to exported invoices must follow specific guidelines and may require external handling.

Role-Based Permissions for Changes

  • Purchaser's Role: the purchaser has the ability to make changes to an invoice after it has been exported. They can access their reports where the invoice appears and update it on their side. However, these changes are made outside the system and do not affect the exported data within the platform. The only way to modify an invoice after the order was exported is if you reset the accounts export.

System Limitations and External Handling Requirements

  • System Restrictions: Once a purchase order and its related invoice or credit have been exported to the customer’s accounts system, they cannot be unlocked or amended within the platform unless you reset the accounts export. This limitation ensures that exported data remains consistent and unaltered.

  • External Handling: Any further changes to the invoice or credit must be coordinated directly with the purchaser or customer outside the system. This process ensures that all parties are aligned on the modifications.

🤓 Tip: if you need help with an order or invoice after you reset the accounts export, you can ask for more information about the process or contact the support team though the Access Digital Assistant.
