Written by Jessie Guerra
Updated this week

Made a mistake and marked an order complete too soon? No problem. You can now revert a completed order back to active — either from the Cents Business Manager or the Cents Employee App — without needing to contact support.


Before You Begin

  • Orders where the return delivery has already been completed cannot be reverted.

  • Product orders cannot be reverted.


Option A: Revert from Cents Business Manager

  1. Log in to Cents Business Manager

  2. Navigate to Orders and locate the completed order you need to correct

  3. Open the order details

  4. Click Move Back to Active

  5. Select the status to revert to — Processing or Ready for Pickup — depending on where the order actually is in the workflow

  6. Confirm the action

The order timeline will update to reflect the change, giving you a full audit trail of the reversion.


Option B: Revert from the Cents Employee App

  1. Open the Cents Employee App on your POS tablet

  2. Navigate to the completed order you need to correct

  3. Tap into the order details screen

  4. Tap Revert to Active

  5. Confirm the action

The order will return to active status and follow the normal workflow from there.


After Reverting

  • The order will appear as active and can be processed, updated, and completed again when it's actually ready

  • The order timeline will log the reversion so you have a record of the status change

  • The order status will update accordingly on the customer's end
