Contracts & Grants Invoice Errors (reasons an invoice is not created)

Overview

Contracts & Grants Invoices (CINV) can be created with a batch job that can be run nightly or manually using the Contracts & Grants Invoice Lookup. When using the Lookup, a Fund Manager will only see their awards that are available for billing. If you would look like to see all the Awards for which you are a Fund Manager, use the Award Lookup. One of the search fields is Fund Manager.

• The Billing Frequency is Milestone and there are no milestones with a Completed Date equal to or prior to today.
• The Billing Frequency is Pre-Determined Billing Schedule and there are no bills with a Bill Date equal to or prior to today.
