Edit a work order
The edit form is identical to the create form. This page covers how to open it and what can be changed depending on the work order's current status.
Section 01
How to open the edit form
1 minute
Open the work order you want to change, then click the Edit button in the action bar at the bottom of the page.
The form opens pre-filled with all the current values — name, type, assigned group, timeline, warehouse, stock reservation, items and picking. Change whatever you need, then click Save Work Order to apply.
Every field on the Edit form is identical to the Create form. For a full field-by-field reference — what each field does, accepted values, required vs optional — see the Create a work order guide below.

Section 02
What you can edit by status
1 minute
What you can change depends on the work order's current status. Completed and Cancelled orders are read-only.
If you add or remove items on an In Progress work order with stock reservation enabled, Brytebuild automatically adjusts the reserved stock quantities. Check the Inventory screen after saving to confirm the new reservation looks correct.
Once a work order is marked Completed, no fields can be edited. If a mistake was made, you'll need to delete the order and recreate it. Before deleting, check whether stock was already deducted — you may need to make a manual stock adjustment.
