Edit an Existing Order / Correction Mode
If the order has not been approved, right click on the order you wish to edit and choose open. Make any changes.
If the order has been approved, open the order and choose "Options". Left click to select "Correction Mode." Make any necessary changes and click "Apply" or "OK" to save the changes.
If the order is currently running, you can only make a few changes via the Correction Mode option. You can change most of the header items although those changes will not be retroactive for already finalized invoices.
To edit a currently running line item, enter correction mode. You can change some items in the line item: priority, spot type, copy and rate. If you need anything else changed, you will need to stop and duplicate the order.
