Creating an Invoice

A work order may be invoiced once it is in either the Completed or Completed/Confirmed status. An invoice cannot be submitted for more than the NTE amount.

The Create Invoice link appears for any work order that is ready to be invoiced:

Note: Should your CSA account status be Restricted, you will not be able to submit invoices for work orders.

Invoice Requirements and Considerations

A few things to consider:

• Depending on your client's requirements, you may create either a Standard Invoice or a Line Item Invoice.
• When creating an invoice, you must enter a unique invoice number; your client may also require you to enter a description of the completed work. You are not able to save the invoice without this information.
• Once an invoice is submitted, it cannot be edited. Should you need to reissue an invoice, you must void the invoice before the client takes action on it.
• Invoices rejected by the client cannot be edited. You must create a new invoice.
