Editing a Payment Record

Mistakes happen. You type $1,020 instead of $1,200, or you accidentally set the status to "Pending" instead of "Paid." Landager allows you to edit any payment record after creation.

How to Edit a Payment

1. Navigate to the Payments page.
2. Find the payment that needs correction.
3. Click the Action Menu (three dots) on the payment row.
4. Select "Edit".
5. The original payment form appears, pre-filled with the current data.
6. Make your corrections and click "Save Changes".

What You Can Change

All fields on the payment are fully editable:

• Lease assignment (only needed if you accidentally linked to the wrong lease)
• Total Amount Due and Paid Amount
• Due Date and Paid Date
• Payment Method
• Payment Status
• Itemized Charges (Late Fee, Maintenance Charge)
• Notes

When Editing is Appropriate

✅ Appropriate

• Fixing a typo in the dollar amount within 24 hours.
• Changing a status from "Pending" to "Paid" when a check clears.
• Adding a note with the check number you forgot to include initially.

❌ Inappropriate

• Changing the Paid Date to the Due Date to make a late payment "look on-time." This destroys audit trail integrity.
• Increasing the Paid Amount to include a second partial payment. Instead, create a new entry.

Audit Trail Note

[!IMPORTANT] Every edit to a payment record is logged in the Activity Feed. Even though the receipt view updates to reflect corrected data, the Activity Logs preserve a record that the payment was modified, providing accountability if multiple people manage your dashboard.
