The two types of resource invoices

The system enables two types of invoices: system-generated and user-uploaded.

The two types can be enabled from: Administrator > Web administrator > Configuration > Settings

“Enable exporting invoices” will allow users to export the system-generated invoices.

“Enable uploading invoices” will allow users to upload their own invoices to the system.

System-generated invoices

System-generated invoices are PDF files generated by the system that list all the tasks within a given monthly resource report or monthly report, and contain the relevant information for invoicing.

Configuration

Follow these steps to set up the system-generated invoices:

  1. Activate “Enable exporting invoices” from: Administrator > Web administrator > Configuration > Settings

  2. (Optional) “Show company logo” will add your company’s logo to the top right corner of the generated PDF file.

  1. (Optional) From the same page, it is also possible to customize the content of the exported invoices:

  1. Select the resource types that should be able to export invoices from: Administrator > Tables > Resource types.

If the system doesn’t have any resource types set, the “Enable exporting invoices” setting will apply to all resources. More info on resource types in the Resource types article.

  1. Exporting invoices requires a role: Can export invoices for enabled resource types

Tip: Add the needed role to a role group to apply the change to multiple resources at once.

Exporting system-generated invoices

PDF invoice can be exported from the resource’s Monthly resource report and Resource reports pages:

From My menu > Monthly resource report

If the monthly resource report has multiple currencies, the export will become available once a currency is selected.

From My menu > Resource reports

Users with the Department supervisor role can export invoices for other resources from the above pages. The role Can export invoices for enabled resource types is not required for this.

Additionally, invoices can be exported by users with the Finance role from Finance > Monthly resource report approval status:

And from: Finance > Billing > Resource reports

Resource uploaded invoices

Resources can also upload their own invoices to the system, which will be associated with the resource’s monthly resource report or resource report.

Configuration

Follow these steps to set up the system-generated invoices:

  1. Activate “Enable uploading invoices” from: Administrator > Web administrator > Configuration > Settings

  2. (Optional) “Invoice upload mandatory for submit” will force resources to upload an invoice before they can submit or approve their reports.
