Business Rules
• When the Invoice routes to FINAL, it creates an invoice pdf file for each customer address, utilizing the invoice template assigned to that address, along with a pdf file marked copy for each address. 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 utilized 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.
• When Invoicing Option is set to Invoice by Award, one invoice will be created for the Award and General Ledger Pending Entries will be created for each account assigned to the Award.
• When Invoicing Option is set to Invoice by Account, an invoice will be created for each account assigned to the Award and General Ledger Pending Entries created for each account.
