EditMain Body
The list contains one or more
invoice items that are either currently gathering or ready to be reviewed/approved.
When the window first opens, the
invoice list is evaluated with regards to all
invoices that are "In Progress" and the
number of
number is equal to each other. If they are, the
Approve column checkbox is checked for these completed
invoice items.
When one or more
invoice items are checked to be approved, a
Finalize button becomes available. Clicking on the
Finalize button will process the selected
invoice items and approve them. Upon approval...
- The invoice will be removed from the Gathering Invoices window.
- If an invoice is configured to be printed, these invoices will be prepared to be printed. A prompt asking if you'd like to print these now is presented. Note that the invoices will be printed in the order displayed in the Gathering Invoices window. If you choose not to print at this time, you can use the Batch Print Invoices menu in AR to do so later.
EditBest Practices
It is absolutely important that you do the following before using
Gathering Invoices:
- Verify that your MakeGood entries are current (meaning done).
- Verify that all of your Logs are reconciled.
Using
Gathering Invoices without verifying the above is completed can produce undesirable results.
EditFAQ
Is it possible to sort by more than one column?See
MyViews.
How do I reverse invoices I finalized by mistake?If in the event that you do approve
invoices by mistake, you must leverage the various
reports available to determine which ones need to be reversed. Using these
invoice numbers, go into
AR and use the CTRL+F key combination to search for each
invoice one-by-one. Right click on each of the
invoice items that you wish to reverse and choose the
Reverse context menu item.
If you finalized any
logs between this process, it may be necessary to reverse those
logs to get rid of the "duplicated" (partial)
invoices. By reversing the
log, the spots are removed from the
invoice; once an
invoice has nothing on it, it is also removed. When you re-reconcile the
log, the now gathering
invoice will be where the spot(s) are added.
If you only have a handful of these
invoices and would prefer to not reverse the
logs and the
contract is new; you might be able to modify the
contract to change the billing cycle to another type temporarily, press OK. Open the
contract again and change the billing cycle back to the original value and press OK. This will cause the system to erase and rebuild all of the
invoices for the
contract; thus combining the two (or more)
invoices.
Once you reverse these
invoices (and possibly
logs), you can then make sure that everything is corrected and retry the
Gathering Invoice process; pretty much as if you'd not made the mistake(s) in the first place.
There is no mechanism to mass reverse
invoices; as you might imagine, that could be a very dangerous tool.
