It would be extremely helpful if I could edit field and rate values in real time after an event had generated an invoice. Trying to find a time to edit the rate fields, that I've just had to edit in the invoice is nearly impossible due to outstanding invoices.
Sure Chris.
As it stands right now, if there is an invoice with any of the fields I need to edit, that edit is not allowed to occur. Despite the fact that the invoice has already been edited and resubmitted to the client through the edit invoice function.
What I would like to be able to do is to fix the issues when I find them showing up on an invoice instead of having to watch for all the invoices with that incorrect charge to be cleared all the way through payment.
This way, I am also not blocked by the next request that comes through with the same mistakes.
As of right now, I am getting requests for summer rentals.
Although I thought I had deactivated and edited the fields that prompt for rehearsal and show differentiation, they keep popping into the requests. So, for every multiday request I have a charge for the space, then again for the space as a rehearsal charge, then again for the space as a performance day charge.
The purpose of the multiple avenue charges was to make it so I don't have to edit the charges. But it's actually made it far more convoluted. Aggravatingly, the child field for performance days does not automatically trigger either as it is supposed to, so I end up having to add that too.
Since the multiday requests just assumes that every charge is chargeable every time, I end up with a 25 page invoice to edit that is about $10,000 wrong.
I would go into the rental request before hand and try to edit it. But every time I do that, it makes it even more wrong and I have to edit the invoice anyway. Trying to navigate that page is like flying blind through a hailstorm, I never know what I'm going to hit.
So, what I'd like to do is uncouple the fields and their editing permissions from invoices that have already been submitted to the client for payment, but not yet paid.
This would allow me to make real time edits to the fields that shouldn't be triggering so maybe someday the requests generate an accurate invoice on the first try.
Although, if I'm being honest, I really see no hope for that with this program. Given that I've been trying and failing to fix these glitches for a few years now and they just seem to compound the problems instead of fixing them.
Does that help?

Hi Tara,
Can you add some context around this? Are you trying to edit the field rate and values on the field itself or on the invoice? We have a new recalculate option on the invoice that may help.
