How to Edit Invoices in Chargebee

Common Invoice Actions

• Update the PO Number: You can update the purchase order number associated with an invoice.

• Update the Address: If taxes are configured on your site, you can modify the address fields of an invoice only if they do not affect the pre-calculated tax rates.
