If you’ve accidentally assigned a job, quote, invoice, or any other document to the wrong customer, you can easily reassign it. The key thing to remember is that you don’t need to edit the customer’s details — you just need to replace the customer assigned to the document.
Follow the steps below to safely reassign a document without altering the customer record.
Reassigning a Document to a Different Customer
- Open the job or document you want to update.
- Locate the Customer field at the top.
- Highlight the name of the current customer.
- Press Backspace or Delete on your keyboard to remove it.
- You now have two options:
- Assign to an existing customer:
Start typing the customer’s name and select them from the dropdown list. - Create a new customer:
Click the “+” icon beside the Customer field to add a new customer, then assign the document to them.
- Assign to an existing customer:
Once selected, the document will now be linked to the new customer profile.
Important: Avoid Editing the Current Customer by Mistake
If you click the pencil icon ✏️ next to the customer’s name, this will edit the existing customer’s details, not reassign the document.
- Use the Backspace/Delete method instead whenever you need to change which customer a job or document belongs to.
- Only use the pencil icon when you genuinely want to update the customer's information.
