If you want to correct a Sales Order that is already fulfilled, please note that there is difference between correcting USD orders and correcting Euro orders.

Already settled Euro orders can be corrected via the same process as step 7 (correcting Sales orders).
​

For already settled USD orders, you will need to correct the fulfilment order first, before you can correct the sales order. If you try to correct the Sales Order without correcting the fulfillment order first, you will get an error message.

To correct the fulfillment order, first find the fulfillment order:
