What can be corrected
The fields offered when an existing record is edited. Whether the button appears at all is decided per record — see What may be changed.

|---|---|---|---|
| Promised date | Date | ||
| Order date | Date | ||
| Organizational unit required | Choice | Looked up from existing records | Decides which approval rules apply. Changing it on an order that is waiting for approval, or already approved, sends it to the approvers for the new unit. |
| Currency | Choice | Looked up from existing records | The lines priced in the order’s currency follow it, at the rate on file unless you give one. |
| Exchange rate | Number | What one unit of the order currency is worth in the company’s own. It sets the total in the company’s currency, which approval limits are judged on. | |

The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
