# Edit a production order

> Change the details, styles and quantities of an existing production order, and refresh its prices from the current style costs.

The **Edit Production Order** dialog lets you change an order after it was created. It works like the create dialog, with the same three tabs, and it saves your changes automatically as you work.

**Where to find it:** Production → Order Management → three-dot menu → View/Edit → Edit
**Requires:** permission `UPDATE_BRAND_PRODUCTION`

## Before you start

- You need the **Update** production permission to save changes. Without it, the **Update Order** button on the last tab is not shown.
- Prices on an existing order are the prices agreed when the order was placed. They do not change when a material is repriced later. Opening the editor never reprices the order; only **Refresh prices** does.

## Edit an order

1. **Open the order**
   On the **Production Orders** page, select the three-dot action button on the order's row and click **View/Edit**.

2. **Click "Edit"**
   Click **Edit** at the bottom right of the order dialog. The **Edit Production Order** dialog opens with the description "Edit a production order with multiple styles".

3. **Change the order details**
   On the **Order Details** tab, change any field, such as **Order Category**, **Priority**, **Supplier / Factory**, the tax fields or the delivery details. The fields are the same as when you [created the order](https://docs.vestislabs.com/production/order-details-in-production-order/). The agreed **Production Start**, **Production End** and **Ex-Factory Date** are locked here and greyed out: the form says *Agreed dates are locked. Use Amend agreed dates to change them.* See [Amend agreed dates](https://docs.vestislabs.com/production/production-order-amend-agreed-dates/).

4. **Change the styles**
   Click **Next: Select Styles**. Click **Edit** on a style under **Selected Styles** to change its colours and quantities, click the bin icon to remove it, or add more styles. See [Select style for production order](https://docs.vestislabs.com/production/select-style-for-production-order/).

5. **Review the order**
   Click **Next: Review Order** to open the **Review & Update** tab and check the **Order Summary**.

6. **Click "Update Order"**
   Click **Update Order**. The order is saved and the dialog closes.

   ![The Update Order button at the bottom right of the Review & Update tab](https://docs.vestislabs.com/assets/production/assets/production-order-edit-order/65-update-order.webp)

You should now see your changes on the order and in the **Production Orders** list.

## Changes are saved as you type

You do not have to click **Update Order** to keep a change. About a second and a half after you stop editing, the platform saves the form by itself. A **Saving...** message appears, followed by **Saved**. If saving fails, the message shows the reason. **Update Order** saves the form straight away and closes the dialog, and **Cancel** closes it without making further changes.

## Fields that lock after receiving

If the production order has already started receiving, **Stock Destination** and **Buyer Name** cannot be changed. The form explains: "Locked because this production has already started receiving."

## Refresh prices

When a style's cost has changed since the order was placed, the **Select Styles** tab shows a warning: **Prices have changed since this order was placed**. It lists each affected line with the price on the order and the current price, for example "Style · Colour: 10 → 12".

- Click **Refresh prices** (in the warning, or at the top of **Selected Styles**) to replace the price of every line with the current style cost. A message confirms: "Prices refreshed from the current style costs."
- Do nothing to keep the prices that were agreed. Styles and colours you add during this editing session always use the current cost.

> [!NOTE]
> **Refresh prices** reprices every line of the order at once. Check the **Total Value** on the review tab afterwards.
