Why you are unable to edit or delete payments?
Payment is money or its equivalent or value that one party voluntarily pays to the other party in exchange for goods or services provided by one party or fulfilling legal obligations. In TreezSoft accounting, there will be scenarios whereas you realize you have made some mistakes in your payment records and you want to make changes, but the system will promopt you with a message that you are unable to edit or delete payments. To solve this issue, you will need to check whether if there's any other documents that is linked to the particular payment, you will need to unlink the documents before you can edit or delete a particular payment. Documents that may be linked to payments received includes: Invoice, Financial lock date, Bank reconciliation and GST submission.
1. The first thing that you can check is whether the payment is linked to an invoice. If yes, you will need to unlink it first.
To unlink Invoice, go to Customer > Receive Payments.
