Good to Know

  • You can only change the customer on an unprocessed invoice. Once processed, the customer cannot be changed.
  • The customer must already exist in the system before you can assign them. Create the customer first if needed.
  • Changing the customer will update all customer-related fields on the invoice (name, address, contact details).

Frequently Asked Questions

Will vehicle details change when I switch customers?

The vehicle selection may need to be updated separately, as the new customer may have different vehicles on file.

Can I change the customer on a processed invoice?

No, processed invoices are locked. You would need to unprocess the invoice first or create a new invoice for the correct customer.
