Description:

Currently, once an invoice is marked as paid, no modifications can be made to it — even minor corrections — without first removing the payment, editing the invoice, and then re-applying the payment. This creates unnecessary extra steps and increases the risk of errors, especially when managing a large volume of invoices.

Suggested solution:

Introduce an admin or accountant-level permission that allows users with the appropriate role to edit certain fields on a paid invoice (e.g., description, reference, contact details, tracking categories) without having to remove and reapply the payment. Critical fields such as the total amount and currency could remain locked to protect payment integrity.

Why this matters:

Accountants frequently need to make minor corrections or add missing details to invoices after payment has been recorded.
The current process of removing a payment, editing, and reapplying is time-consuming, especially during month-end or year-end reconciliation.
A permission-based approach would keep controls in place while giving trusted users the flexibility they need to work efficiently.
Who would benefit:

Accountants, bookkeepers, and business owners who manage invoicing and need to correct or update invoice details after payment.
