## Overview

Use the Invoice form to review and maintain invoice records as they progress through the financial lifecycle. Finance officers use this area to monitor invoices from **Draft** through approval processing, **Approved, Upcoming, Due**, and **Paid**.

Use the invoice views to identify invoices by invoice number, job number, account, due date, and invoice amounts. Use the available payment actions only when they match the current payment assessment for the invoice.

## Before you start

You must have access to **Finance** and **Account Invoices**. For an account invoice to proceed through approval processing, it must meet the applicable validation requirements and the approval process must apply.

## Steps

1. Select **Finance**, and then select **Account Invoices** to open the Finance record.

2. Select **All** to review invoice records across the available invoice views. Use the displayed **Invoice No., Job No., Account, Due date**, and invoice amount columns to identify the invoice that requires attention.

3. Select **Sales Invoices** when you need to work specifically with sales invoice records.

4. Review the invoice lifecycle before applying a payment-related action. An invoice begins as **Draft**, passes through approval processing, and can then progress through **Approved, Upcoming, Due**, and **Paid**.

5. When permitted changes have been completed on the invoice editing view, select **Save**.

6. Apply the appropriate payment assessment action when required:
   - Select **Consider As Paid** for an invoice that should be treated as paid.
   - Select **Consider As Not Paid** when the invoice should not be treated as paid.
   - Select **For Sure Paid** or **Probably Paid** when the applicable payment assessment is required.
   - Select **Consider as not approved** when the invoice requires the available not-approved action.

## Tips & cautions

> **Warning:** No changes are allowed when binding invoices apply.

> **Warning:** An invoice cannot be reverted when binding invoices apply.

> **Note:** A due invoice can prevent an item from being marked as not delivered.

## Troubleshooting

- You cannot change an invoice → Binding invoices apply → Changes are not allowed for the invoice.
- You cannot revert an invoice → Binding invoices apply → The invoice cannot be reverted.
- You cannot mark an item as not delivered → A due invoice already exists → Resolve the due invoice requirement before attempting the delivery reversal.
- Your account is locked → Failed attempts caused the account lock → Stop further attempts and use the applicable account-access process.

## Result

The invoice record is reviewed, saved where permitted, and assessed using the appropriate available payment action.
