AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Yes, it is possible to update non-financial information in a customer invoice that is posted to a closed period. This includes updating descriptions or other custom fields. To do this, you need to have the 'Allow Non-G/L Changes' permission in your role. This permission allows you to make changes that do not affect the General Ledger, such as updating descriptions or custom fields. In addition to this, the accounting period must be set to allow non-G/L changes. This is a setting in the accounting period that needs to be manually enabled after the period is closed. Please note that even with this permission and setting, there may be some fields that you cannot update. For example, if changing a field could potentially affect the tax calculation, then you may not be able to update that field.
