An Introduction to Billing and Invoicing

Follow

Summary

The billing functionality allows invoices to be created at the master project, project, and order levels at any point in the workflow. After an invoice has been created, it can easily be printed or saved as a PDF so the invoice can be sent electronically to the recipient. This article walks you through how to view and invoice, create an invoice, and adjust an invoice amount (if required).

Note: If an invoice status is set to Approved, it is not possible to make any type of modification to the invoice

Viewing Invoice Details

To view the details for an invoice that has already been created:

  1. Open the Project or Order that you wish to view an invoice for. Note: When viewing invoice details for a master project, it is not possible to view invoice details for projects or orders that are included in that master project. You can only view invoice details for the master project itself
  2. Click on Billing > Invoices from the left hand navigation menu to open the Billing view
    1. You can filter the invoices either by using the Search Options, selecting your desired Invoice Status, or Filtering Search Results by Type, Customer, etc.
    2. Use the scroll bar to see more information about all invoices and then double-click on any invoice to see the invoice details
