Invoice Status Changes

Invoice Editing, Approval and Deletion automatically changes the Status on an Invoice.

The Enter Job Invoice screen and the Enter Contract Claims screen become the control for invoicing once the invoice lines have been generated by the various invoicing processes.

NOTE: You must have the relevant Security Admin Function before you can Edit, Approve, Unapprove, Delete.
