Editing a Payment Record
How to correct a data entry mistake on a logged payment without deleting it. Update amounts, dates, statuses, or notes after the fact.
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
- Navigate to the Payments page.
- Find the payment that needs correction.
- Click the Action Menu (three dots) on the payment row.
- Select "Edit".
- The original payment form appears, pre-filled with the current data.
- 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.
