Customization
Edit A Field After Submission
In ERPNext, once a document is submitted, you can only edit it through Cancel > Amend. However, you can still make certain fields (custom fields) editable after submission using the Allow on Submit feature. For example, we have created a custom field called "Supplier ID" in Supplier Quotation. To allow editing of this field after submission, follow the following steps:
- Go to Settings > Customize Form and select the Form Type (Supplier Quotation in this case).
- Expand the field row and check the "Allow on Submit" checkbox.


- Click on Update.
This setting will allow you to edit this field even after submitting the document without amending it.
Note: The Allow on Submit feature works only for non-standard fields (custom fields).
