Invoice Overview

When you have received an Invoice from a Vendor, the Invoice option on the Admin menu, provides system administrators and users with the appropriate Administrative permissions access to the functions used to manage invoices.   Even if you do not have the items in hand, you can adjust the prices, and add the items to the invoice in preparation for receipt of the physical items.  When the items are in hand you can then complete the Invoicing / Receiving process.  Libraries that use the Separate Invoicing and Receiving option should see Receive Overview to learn about receiving functions associated with that option.

 

Note: Vendor and Fund records must be configured before Invoice Management can be undertaken.
