How to lock invoice edits once an e-invoice is generated?

To ensure the integrity of government-validated invoice data, it is necessary that no changes are made unless the e-invoice is cancelled or not yet generated.

For this, you can lock invoice edits once e-Invoices have been generated.

Here's how:

For GST E-invoicing (India)

Go to Business Settings > Accounting > GST Configuration > Lock Invoice Edits once E-Invoices have been generated:

Once you turn on the toggle, invoices, credit notes, and debit notes with active e-invoices will no longer be editable.

For LHDN E-invoicing (Malaysia)

Go to Business Settings > LHDN E-invoicing > Lock Invoice Edits once E-Invoices have been generated:

For ZATCA E-invoicing (Saudi Arabia)

That's it!
