Mark,
Business Feature transactions in the AP/AR registers cannot be edited.
They are immutable via normal means.
Manual transactions in those registers can be edited.
The correct way to edit an invoice/bill is to unpost, edit, repost.
If the payment is already linked and simple (applying to only one
document) GnuCash will try to re-link it automatically.
The correct way to edit a payment transaction is to right-click and
choose 'Edit Payment'.
Otherwise, there is a 'read-only' threshold for all transactions if you
like, but it is rather limited in how it is set.
Regards,
Adrien

I'm curious what causes register entries to go read-only?
I have an "income" account, where I post invoices. Some of the entries
there are editable, and some are not. I'm wondering what causes these
entries to be read-only or read-write?
The ones that are read-write seem to be entries that I made manually...
to 'add bonus payments' to invoices - like adding a 'tip' to a bill. The
invoice is $100 and the 'bonus payment' is $20, so I went back and
"somehow I guess" added the additional $20. Today, I just 'unpost' the
invoice and add the necessary lines to change the value, re-post it, and
then pay it (not sure if that's the 'right' way).
The ones that are read-only seem to be entries that came directly from
the posted invoice.
So, I'm wondering what is controlling the editable-status of those entries?
