[GNC] Reusing old invoices?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I recall an issue not long ago with an uneditable, unposted invoice. 
I'll check to see if I resolved it and if so, how. (this was an issue 
with the line-items, the details were editable)

Be sure you aren't trying to edit the details directly in the fields on 
the invoice tab. (I know, that is confusing UI/UX) You have to use the 
Edit button on the toolbar and make changes there. (or use the Edit 
Bill/Invoice entry in the Edit menu)

I don't think you can change a Credit Note to an Invoice. (I recall 
wanting to do this once, and couldn't figure out how)

You should be able to simply renumber the Note/Invoice to avoid 
duplication confusion.

I usually 'number' my need-to-be-reused bills/invoices as "Use Next" and 
then edit as needed later and post.

Regards,
Adrien

The invoice hasn't been posted and I can 'Edit Invoice' details, but when I come to entre a line item it's uneditable.  I've been able to do the same with other invoices that were created but not posted.  (I've been clearing out some old redundant invoices by reusing them.)

One was posted and sent, the other is only partially complete - the partially complete one is actually a credit note.  So, I figure I need to change it to a invoice (from a credit note) and change the invoice number and probably reset the invoice numbering so I can reuse it as an invoice and get rid of it and then have the invoice numbering run properly.
