In Weplanify, cancelling an expense adds a cancellation line: the expense stays in the history and in the entries, offset, without being erased.

## Steps

1. In **Expenses**, click the expense: its panel opens.
2. **Edit**: correct an expense entered by hand, as long as its month's payroll is not closed.
3. **Cancel the expense**: enter the **Amount cancelled** and the **Cancellation date**. The full amount cancels the expense; a partial amount corrects it.
4. Confirm with **Cancel the expense** (or **Keep the expense** to go back).

## Good to know

- After the month's [payroll closing](https://weplanify.io/docs/paie.cloture?lang=en), the expense can no longer be edited: cancel it, then enter the corrected expense in the current month.
- **Delete** is only offered for expenses paid by the company; an expense already on a payslip cannot be deleted.
- **Mark as paid** moves an expense out of the To pay tab.
