Add items from a contract to an invoice

Use the links in the Navigation Panel to access the invoicing screens.

Click Home to go to the Home page and explore contracts, search for invoices, or view invoice status information.

By adding a contract item to an invoice, you indicate that the item or service was delivered and the associated cost or fee can be paid.

Use the “View By” setting to display multi-select check boxes for adding multiple items simultaneously. If you do not specify multi-select display, you must add items individually.
