Unfinished invoice in previously filed VAT period - Flat Rate Scheme

I have an invoice that was raised in June, but due to delayed work it's only now that I want to finish it off to sent to the customer.  

The trouble is that I'm now in a new VAT period.  When I've gone in to edit the invoice, it won't save it.  In fact it won't let me do anything with it - delete, void... anything!

So I now have a customer with an outstanding invoice, with a balance that isn't correct, and is incomplete in the description (as in I can't send it as it is).

 

Please.... has anyone got any ideas on how to get round this?

Hi ClaireGMD

 

As you are using the FRS system once you have filed the period you are not able to edit/delete any transactions within that period. You could reverse the invoice by creating a credit note and then re-raise the invoice correctly.
