Edit an upcoming charge or payment

For a recurring or scheduled contract, these screens adjust what happens next without touching the rest of the schedule: change the next charge (its amount and due date), or change when the next payment is taken.

Where to find it

On a contract, select Edit next charge on the statement, or Schedule payment in the arrears section.

What you see

The account and contract headers, and the current next charge amount or next payment date.

What you can do

Control	What it does
Next charge amount / due date	Change the amount and date of the next upcoming charge. Rules: Move the next charge.
Next payment date	Change when the next payment is collected. Rules: Reschedule the next payment.
Save	Applies the change and returns to the contract. Rules: Move the next charge, Reschedule the next payment.
Cancel	Returns to the contract without changing anything.

Things to note

These are only offered for recurring or scheduled contracts.
Schedule payment only appears while the contract is in arrears and no collection is already in progress.
Editing requires the relevant contract permission.
Moving the next charge date moves every later charge with it; the screen says so before you save.
The new date must be at least a few minutes in the future, and an imminent date asks for confirmation before it is applied.
Only the next item is affected — later charges and payments follow the existing schedule. To reshape the whole schedule, use Edit a contract.
