# Update existing goods rebook

<p class="callout danger">This action requires the **"Update** **goods** **rebook"** permission.</p>

Goods rebooks are generally not editable, because their data is directly tied to stock transactions, which are critical for tracking, validating and maintaining accurate stock levels.

<p class="callout info">Descriptions of goods rebooks can be changed, but all other information (e.g. status, items,...) is locked.</p>

<p class="callout danger">**Altering goods rebooks can disrupt the integrity of inventory records** and lead to discrepancies in stock validation processes. To ensure consistency and compliance, any changes to stock should be managed through proper adjustment or reversal procedures rather than editing existing records.</p>
