# Edit, Cancel and Delete (https://docs.carlio.app/docs/awaiting/edit-cancel-or-delete-an-awaiting-amount)

Correct an awaiting amount, withdraw it with a record or remove it entirely



An awaiting amount can be corrected while it is outstanding. A withdrawn amount can stay as a record or be removed.

## Requirements [#requirements]

| Action         | Permission                         |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Edit or cancel | Edit permission for transactions   |
| Delete         | Delete permission for transactions |

Owners and managers hold both. Without a permission, the matching menu item does not appear.

## Edit an amount [#edit-an-amount]

1. Open **[Awaiting](https://carlio.app/dashboard/finance/awaiting)** in the **Finance** group of the sidebar.
2. Open the row menu with the three dots at the end of a row with the status **Awaiting**.
3. Select **Edit**.
4. Change the fields in the **Edit Expected Amount** dialog.
5. Select **Save Changes**.

The dashboard shows the toast **Expected amount updated**. Only amounts with the status **Awaiting** can be edited.

The exchange rate stays unchanged unless the currency or the rate is changed in the dialog. The direction, the category, the due date and the method can all change.

## Cancel an amount [#cancel-an-amount]

Select **Cancel** in the row menu. No confirmation dialog appears. The dashboard shows the toast naming the item followed by **cancelled**.

The row stays in the list with the status **Cancelled**. The amount is struck through and leaves the outstanding totals. Use this action for an amount that was waived or that will not be paid. The history shows that the amount existed.

A cancelled amount cannot be reopened, edited or completed.

## Delete an amount [#delete-an-amount]

1. Select **Delete** in the row menu.
2. Read the **Delete Expected Payment** dialog.
3. Select **Delete**.

<Callout type="warn">
  Deleting an awaiting amount is permanent and cannot be undone. The row leaves the list and keeps
  no record. Use **Cancel** to keep a record.
</Callout>

**Delete** is available for amounts of every status. Deleting a settled amount does not delete its ledger entry. The money moved and stays in the ledger.

To remove the ledger entry as well, delete it on the Transactions page. The amount then returns to **Awaiting** if it still exists.

## Notes [#notes]

* Files attached to an amount are deleted with it.
* The same actions are available in the Awaiting card on the Payments tab of a car or a deal.
