# Editing, Removing, or Reverting Payments

> Correct or reverse recorded invoice payments

Correct a payment when its amount or paid date is wrong, remove one payment
that should not have been recorded, or revert every payment when the invoice
must return to Owed. These actions change payment history without changing the
invoice's Type or posted line items.

Choose the narrowest correction that matches the source record:

| Need                                        | Use                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Correct one payment's amount or paid date   | **Actions → Edit**, then edit that line item's payment history                                       |
| Remove one saved payment                    | **Actions → Edit**, then remove that payment from its line item                                      |
| Remove a payment staged in the current edit | Reopen that line item's **Edit Payments** dialog and remove the unsaved row before the page is saved |
| Remove every saved payment                  | **Actions → Revert All Payments**                                                                    |

<Warning>
  Editing a saved payment is recorded as removing the old payment and adding its
  replacement. The correction remains auditable; it does not overwrite the
  original ledger entry. See [Corrections Are
  Reversals](/financials/accounting-model/postings#corrections-are-reversals).
</Warning>

## Edit One Payment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter invoice edit mode">
    Open the invoice, select **Actions → Edit**, and scroll to **Payments**.
    Expand the payment date you need to correct. The expanded row shows its
    line-item allocations; select the edit control on the affected line.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the payment row">
    **Edit Payments** opens for one line item and lists that line's complete
    payment history. Match the amount and date to the source record before
    changing it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Correct the amount or date">
    Enter a positive payment amount and set the actual date the money moved.
    The **Total** and **Outstanding** footer updates while you type. The sum of
    the kept payments cannot exceed the line-item total.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Stage the correction">
    Select **Save Payments**. This updates the page's edit draft; it does not
    persist the correction yet.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Frame caption="In invoice edit mode, expand the payment gesture and use the pencil on the specific line allocation you need to correct.">

</Frame>

<Frame caption="Edit Payments restates one line's complete history; changing $325 to $350 updates the line total to $625 and outstanding amount to $575.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/ai-insurance-fmv1/W__nfeoiDVj7Hg-m/assets/app/financials/guides/editing-payment-dialog.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=W__nfeoiDVj7Hg-m&q=85&s=1457ad0a46e5acbc87e1cb3675f37b77" alt="Edit Payments dialog for Claim Handling Fees and Expenses with editable July 22 and July 18 payment rows, the newer amount changed to $350, the older $275 payment intact, live Total $625 and Outstanding $575, and Add Payment and Save Payments controls." width="1280" height="720" data-path="assets/app/financials/guides/editing-payment-dialog.png" />
</Frame>

Back on the invoice, the original saved payment appears as removed and the
replacement appears as unsaved. Review the resulting line-level Paid and
Outstanding figures and the invoice's derived status, then select the
page-level **Save**. Select **Cancel** and confirm **Discard Changes** to abandon
the entire edit draft instead.

<Frame caption="Save Payments stages the correction: the immutable $325 record is removed, its $350 replacement is unsaved, and page-level Save is now enabled.">

</Frame>

## Remove One Payment

Use the same edit path when only one payment should be removed:

1. Select **Actions → Edit**.
2. Expand the relevant payment in **Payments** and select its edit control.
3. In **Edit Payments**, select the remove control on the incorrect row.
4. Review the struck-through amount and date. Select the restore control if
   you removed the wrong row.
5. Select **Save Payments**, review the invoice draft, and then select the
   page-level **Save**.

<Frame caption="A staged removal strikes through only the selected $250 payment and exposes Restore; the kept $300 row now drives the totals.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/ai-insurance-fmv1/W__nfeoiDVj7Hg-m/assets/app/financials/guides/removing-payment-dialog.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=W__nfeoiDVj7Hg-m&q=85&s=807d431aa585e2d037265a1e3f2a9867" alt="Edit Payments dialog for INV-578046-683 with the July 23, 2026 $250 payment struck through, its restore control visible, the July 17 $300 payment intact, and updated Total $300 and Outstanding $1,100." width="1280" height="720" data-path="assets/app/financials/guides/removing-payment-dialog.png" />
</Frame>

Removing an unsaved payment follows the same path. A payment added during the
current edit can be reopened from the expanded Payments history and removed
before the page-level Save. Removing a row created inside the current
**Edit Payments** dialog discards that row immediately because no saved payment
exists to reverse.

<Note>
  **Save Payments** only stages the line-item history on the invoice page. The
  correction is not recorded until you select the page-level **Save**.
</Note>

## Revert Every Payment

Use **Revert All Payments** when none of the invoice's current payments should
remain.

1. Open the invoice in read mode.
2. Select **Actions → Revert All Payments**.
3. Review the number of payments and their total in the confirmation.
4. Select **Revert All Payments**. Select **Cancel** to keep them.

<Frame caption="Revert All Payments names the full impact before saving: three records totaling $850 will be removed and the invoice will return to Owed.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/ai-insurance-fmv1/W__nfeoiDVj7Hg-m/assets/app/financials/guides/reverting-all-payments-confirmation.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=W__nfeoiDVj7Hg-m&q=85&s=fffa8acc336430dc63c8ba0540f73365" alt="Revert All Payments confirmation for approved invoice INV-159313-901 stating that all 3 payments totaling $850 will be removed from the ledger and the invoice will return to Owed with line items untouched, with Cancel and Revert All Payments actions." width="1280" height="720" data-path="assets/app/financials/guides/reverting-all-payments-confirmation.png" />
</Frame>

The reversion saves immediately. The invoice returns to **Owed**, its Paid
amount returns to zero, and its full Total becomes Balance Due again. Its Type,
line items, dates, memo, event link, and attachments remain unchanged.

Approval also remains. The result is normally **Owed · Approved**, because
payment removal does not revoke the approval that originally authorized the
money. If the approval itself must be removed, select **Actions → Unapprove**
after the invoice is Owed. See [Approval Is Irrevocable Once Money Has
Moved](/financials/approvals#approval-is-irrevocable-once-money-has-moved).

<Frame caption="After reversion, approval remains while Paid returns to $0, the full $1,700 becomes outstanding again, and Payments is empty.">

</Frame>

## Verify Financial and Reserve State

After saving an edit, removal, or full reversion, confirm:

* each remaining payment has the correct line item, amount, and paid date;
* **Paid**, **Balance Due**, and **Status** match the revised history;
* approval is still present unless someone explicitly unapproved the now-Owed
  invoice;
* the invoice's Type and line-item amounts are unchanged; and
* for a Loss/Recovery invoice, the event's reserve balance and **Reserve
  Updates** reflect the reversal of the removed payment's original reserve
  effect.

If the correction belongs to a different line item, remove the incorrect
payment and record a new payment on the correct line; a payment cannot be moved
between lines in place. If the invoice's own Type, line-item type, amount, or
direction is wrong, follow [Replacing an Incorrect
Invoice](/financials/guides/replacing-an-incorrect-invoice) instead.
