#### **2. Edit Bill After Party Selection**

* **Description:**
  * When the user selects a **party that already has a bill created for the same date**,\
    the system will automatically **retrieve and open the previous bill**.

#### **3. Edit Bill After Item Selection**

* **Description:**
  * When the user selects the **same party and adds an item that already exists** in a previously created bill,\
    the system retrieves the **existing bill with that item**.
  * The user can then **edit and save** the updated bill.
