Edit a Field after Submission

Edit a Field after Submission

Once a document is submitted in ERPNext, the only way to alter it is through Cancel > Amend. But, you can still use the Allow on Submit option to make some fields (custom fields) editable after submission. For example, we have defined a custom field called "Supplier ID" in Supplier Quotation. The actions below should be followed in order to permit editing of this field after submission:

1) Choose the Form Type under Settings > Customize Form (Supplier Quotation in this case).

2) Open the field row and select "Allow on Submit" from the drop-down menu.

3) Choose Update.

With this setting, you can make changes to this field even after the document has been submitted without changes.

Remember that only non-standard fields can use the Allow on Submit feature (custom fields).
