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 its not-to-exceed (NTE) amount.
The Create Invoice button is available for any work order that is ready to be invoiced and is located on the bottom of the Work Order.
When you have Completed work orders that you have not yet invoiced, you get notified about it via email.

Invoice Requirements and Considerations
A few things to consider:

|
LOCALIZABLE PART STARTS HERE |
- 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. Otherwise, you will need to reach out to your client and ask to reject the wrong invoice.
- Invoices rejected by the client cannot be edited. You must create a new invoice using another unique number - you can not use the same number that was used for the rejected Invoice.

Creating a Standard Invoice
A Standard Invoice reflects labor, travel, material, and freight charges. It does not, however, break down labor and material costs.

Creating a Line Item Invoice
When your client asks you to submit a line item invoice, it means that you need to break down invoice charges into line items.
Based on your client’s system configuration, you may be asked to break down only one, two, or all types of charges — labor, material, and other. Also, your client decides whether you should itemize invoice costs for all work orders or only for work orders of specific trades and categories.
To quickly figure out what charges you should itemize, check the Summary tab on the page for creating an invoice. If you see a link by the charge name, you should itemize this type of costs. If it’s a text field, enter the total amount without breaking down the costs.
