Editing yesterday's
entry.

How to fix a typo from last night. What gets logged, what stays untouched.

Edits are fine. No penalty. nouz expects you'll fix typos as you spot them. Editing yesterday's entry takes thirty seconds and the P&L updates immediately.

Mistakes happen at close-out — a digit transposed, the wrong category picked, a cash/card split that turned out to be wrong. nouz is designed to make fixing them painless: every entry is editable, and the changes propagate through the P&L and Statistics immediately.

01 How to edit

  1. 1
    Open Revenue (or Expenses)

    Use the calendar to jump to yesterday's date.

  2. 2
    Click the entry row

    A side panel opens with all the entry's fields.

  3. 3
    Change the value

    Typo in cash? Bump the number. Wrong category? Pick a different one.

  4. 4
    Save

    Green toast. The list refreshes.

02 The audit trail

Every entry stores a created_at and updated_at timestamp. You can't see them in the UI today, but they're recorded — useful if you ever need to reconstruct what changed when. We may surface this in a future version, especially for multi-user setups where you want to know which staff member edited which entry.

03 What it changes in the P&L

The day's P&L recomputes from scratch the next time you load it. The day, week, month, and year views all reflect the edit immediately. Statistics insights re-evaluate on next page load — so peak/weak day detection, margin drift, the runway estimate all pick up the new numbers without you having to do anything.

04 When edits cause problems

Edits after your accountant has filed. If you've already exported and filed last month's P&L with your accountant, editing past entries from that month creates a divergence between what you filed and what nouz now shows. Most owners avoid editing entries older than the current month. When you must, document the change so your accountant can reconcile next time.

For most day-to-day typos (yesterday's revenue, last Tuesday's expense), edits cause no real problem — the data is still in the current period and your monthly export will reflect the corrected version.
