How to edit information on a posted document?

This article covers how to edit information on a posted document in iplicit. It applies across all posted document types, including purchase invoices, sales invoices, credit notes and journals. There are three levels of change available – header amendments, period corrections and posting attribute corrections – each accessed through the ellipsis or 'More' menu at the top of the document. If the change you need falls outside these options, this article explains the alternative route.

Certain header-level fields on a posted document can be amended without unposting. To amend header details on a posted document in iplicit:

2. Depending on your screen, select the ellipsis button (…) or the 'More' button at the top of the document

4. A pop-up appears where you can edit the following fields:

What to do when a posted document needs other changes

If the change you need isn't covered by the amend or corrections options above, you need to unpost the document to make further edits.

To unpost a posted document in iplicit, depending on your screen, select the ellipsis button (…) or the 'More' button at the top of the document and choose the unpost option. Once unposted, make your changes and repost.

Before you unpost, check the following:

• If the document has allocated payments, you must unallocate these before you can unpost or reverse the document
• If the document is matched in a bank reconciliation, you cannot unpost it
• If the document is included on a VAT return, you cannot unpost it.

If you cannot unpost a posted document in iplicit

If the document is matched in a bank reconciliation or included on a VAT return, the alternative is to:

1. Reverse the original document
2. Copy the reversed document
3. Make your amendments on the copy
4. Post the amended copy.

This creates a clear audit trail while allowing you to correct the information.
