INVOICE OPERATIONS · Workflow idea

Move from completed project details to an accurate invoice with a clear approval point.

For project records an organization is authorized to use, prepare an invoice from a designated ready-to-bill record and deliver it to the listed customer contact. Verify the customer, amounts, tax treatment, terms, and destination against approved source records; protect financial details; and require an accountable owner to confirm the invoice and recipient before it is sent.
