Overview
When the Invoice routes to FINAL, a pdf invoice is created each customer address, using the invoice template assigned to that address, along with a pdf file marked copy for each address. Invoices can be manually transmitted or transmitted via the Transmit Contracts & Grants Invoices.
Method of Invoice Transmission
The Transmit Contracts & Grants Invoices uses Mail and Email Method of Invoice Transmission to determine how to send invoices once they have been created and approved. Use the Method of Invoice Transmission to add additional values. Using values other than Mail or Email will exclude the invoice from the Transmit process. This might be desirable if you are submitting an invoice electronically through a website, for example.
Notes tab on the Contracts & Grants Invoice document
The pdf files are added to the Notes and Attachments tab of the Contracts & Grants Invoice document.
The invoice and copy may be printed directly from the Notes and Attachments tab, or the Transmit Contracts & Grants Invoices process may be used to email invoices to customers or create a print file so that invoices can be mailed to the customers, based on the Method of Invoice Transmission set for each customer address.
Transmission Details tab on the Contracts & Grants Invoice document
The Transmission Details tab on the Contracts & Grants Invoice document tracks when an invoice was sent. The Initial Transmission Date can be manually set by clicking the Set Transmission Date or it will be set when the Transmit Contracts & Grants Invoices. The button only displays for Fund Managers.
