Mark works orders as 'invoice not required'

This guide has been reviewed against our global client base and classed as relevant to all regions

A works order that does not require an invoice can be identified - works order grids can display whether an invoice is required, plus reporting options are available

1. Identify works orders that do not require an invoice

From works order:

  • Tick Invoice not required
    This action removes the ability to Post invoice to accounts

2. View works orders that do/do not require an invoice in works order grids

After running a works order report or viewing a works order grid, an Invoice Required column can be added and saved

From a works order grid:

  • Right-click over the column headings, select Pick columns and click Invoice Required

  • The new column is added to the far right side of the grid - click and drag the column heading to the desired position

  • Right-click over the column headings again and click Save grid layout

  • The Invoice Required column will show when using this type of grid again - grid functions can be used to sort, filter or group

    • To sort the list, click the column heading

    • To filter or group the list, click to the right of the column heading (to view filter icon, shown below) and choose to Group by Invoice Required or filter by Yes/No

3. Report on works orders that do/do not require an invoice

An Invoice Not Required option is available when running a Power Report on works orders

From Reports on main menu:

  • Click Power Reports

  • Select Works Orders report type

  • Select Invoice Not Required plus any other criteria options required

  • Select is true or is false
