How editing and deleting sales affects Bizwazi

Editing or deleting a sale can change sales totals, account balances, profit, reports, and sometimes stock. This is why sales corrections should be done carefully.

When editing a sale may be needed

• The amount was entered wrongly.
• The sale was recorded under the wrong account.
• The category was wrong.
• The note needs correction.
• The sale time was wrong.
• The wrong inventory item or quantity was selected.

What can change after editing

• Sales totals can change.
• Profit can change.
• Cash, M-PESA, or Bank/Card balances can change.
• Reports can change.
• Dashboard discrepancy checks can change.
• Inventory can change if the sale was stock-linked.

Deleting sales

• Only delete a sale when it should not exist at all.
• If the sale is linked to stock, deleting it may affect stock records depending on how the sale was created.
• If the sale came from an invoice payment, open the invoice instead of treating it like a normal sale.
• For audit clarity, avoid deleting real business activity just because it needs correction.
