# Edit an accrual on a sales order

When an item is entered on a sales line, the program automatically calculates accrual amounts based on accrual plans for which the relevant customer and sales item are specified. You can edit a calculated accrual amount directly on a sales order before it is posted.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> An accrual can be edited on a sales order only if the **Edit Accrual on Document** field for the relevant accrual plan is selected.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Sales Orders**, and then choose the related link.
2. Open the sales order with the accrual you want to edit.
3. On the **Lines** FastTab, locate the accrual you want to edit. It may be displayed in either the **Promo/Rebate Amount** field or the **Commission Amount** field.
4. Click the accrual amount to open the **Document Accrual Lines** page.

The lines on this page represent the payment accounts that exist for each accrual. For example, if a single accrual has three payment accounts, there are three lines.
5. Edit the value in the **Payment Amount** field.

When the sales order is posted, the program accrues the amounts entered on this page.
