Mike, Work on the basis that as soon as you give the document a "taxable date" and distribute it to anyone then it is fixed. If not, then the tax man will be down on you like a tone of bricks as he doesn't want to see two documents with the same audit number but different values floating around anywhere.
If you must, then it is standard practice to mark the invoice as deleted with zero values or countered with a credit note and create a new one than modify an existing one. As far as I am concerned as soon as any invoice is marked as Live, Printed or sent out then it is fixed in stone. Another reason to freeze it would be after an accounting period end. Modification of prime document values is tantamount to changing the interface of a VFP class once developed and then sending out a new class library to everyone!!

At what point do you lock out any changes to an invoice record? My thoughts as to the answer: - when you've received payments towards it (most restrictive) - when you've marked it as printed or emailed (less restrictive) tia! --Michael [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
