Can I edit or cancel an invoice after I submit it?
No — once submitted, an invoice is locked and sent for processing. To fix it, ask your client to reject it so it returns to you, then submit a corrected version.
Once you submit an invoice it’s locked and sent to your client for processing — you can’t edit it. If something’s wrong, the fix is to have it returned to you.
Why invoices lock on submit
Locking keeps the amount your client approves identical to the amount you submitted. You’ll see this confirmed in the dialog before submitting: once submitted, the invoice is sent for processing and can no longer be edited.
Before you submit
Double-check these while the invoice is still a draft — it’s your last chance to change them:
- The agreed amount
- Any expense line items and their receipts
- Your completion notes
- Supporting documents
If you find a mistake after submitting
- Contact your client and ask them to reject the invoice.
- A rejected invoice returns to you to correct.
- Fix the details and submit again.
Note: Rejection is the normal way to reopen a submitted invoice for edits — it’s not a mark against you.
