Editing, Deleting & Audit Trail
Financial integrity rules and why TatTool never silently overwrites money.
TatTool prioritizes financial integrity and traceability. Money-related changes should be explicit and reviewable.
Editing rule
Payments can only be edited while they are recorded. Verified payments must be unverified first (with a reason).
Editing Payments
Payments can be edited while they are recorded.
If a payment is verified:
- It must be unverified first
- Unverifying requires a reason
Every edit creates history. Nothing is silently overwritten.
What Can Be Edited
Edits are intended for operational corrections like:
- Purpose (Deposit / Service payment / Other)
- Offline payment method
- Tax behavior
- Notes and external references
- Location or attributed user (where applicable)
If the amount is wrong:
- If it’s still recorded, delete (void) it and create a new payment with the correct amount.
- If it’s already verified, register a refund and record the corrected payment as a new entry.
Unverifying Payments
Unverifying is a control mechanism. It signals that the payment should not count for revenue until it is re-verified after changes.
Deleting Payments
Only non-verified payments can be deleted.
Deleted payments:
- Are removed from revenue and UI
- Remain in logs for traceability and compliance
Deleting (voiding) requires a reason.
Delete vs refund
Use delete (void) when the record should not exist (duplicate/test/mistake). Use a refund when money was actually taken and returned.
Why TatTool Never Silently Overwrites Money
Silent edits create reporting confusion and erode trust. TatTool keeps a clear audit trail so teams can understand who changed what, and why.
