    Damien has kindly showed me how to action the dleted pending invoice. You insert an asterisk "*" in the A column. There is no right click. However this still still appears in the "New AP Enquiry List" after actioning. My suggestion was just to leave the button unticked, not to remove it. Non AP staff looking at this, will not want to see deleted pending invoices.

    Assuming you are using the eInvoicing process in Jobpac, (ie the process
    where you prepare Invoices for approval) when you delete an invoice you can
    give the deletion a Reason Code. This moves the Invoice into an area
    called *Retrieve
    Deleted Pending Invoices*. This allows a user with responsibility over
    their Authorising Job/location "inbox" of invoices to remove (delete)
    invoices that do not belong in their inbox.
    eg "This is not my invoice it should be on Bob's Job" or "This invoice has
    been entered to the wrong creditor can you fix please"
    It would be a normal process for someone in accounts to review the *Retrieve
    Deleted Pending Invoices* program on a daily basis and then action the
    deleted invoices, based on the reason codes, in one of 3 ways.... either...

    1. Change the Authorising Job/Location and the Retrieve it to the
    correct inbox.
    2. Edit the details on the Invoice and Retrieve.
    3. Or, Permanently delete it by Right click and "Action", after which
    point the Invoice number can be reused.

    Note: even if a Deleted invoice is Actioned, it will never actually be
    physically deleted from the system, for full audit history, and if desired,
    or Actioned by accident, could be brought back to life, if the invoice
    number hadn't already been resused.

    cheers

    Hi Andrew

    Thanks for this. I am a bit confused though. If an invoice was duplicated and you actually want it deleted for good, how do you action this to be deleted for good and not show up again?

    Regards
    Susan

    Hi Susan,

    Deleted Invoices in this sense have not been physically deleted or actioned. In fact they are still treated as pending until Actioned. A Deleted Invoice if not Actioned can be retrieved to a different authorising Job or Location and will be checked against in duplicate invoice number checking routines. A Deleted Invoice that IS Actioned should not be included in this enquiry. This means that the Deleted invoices filter is important to show pending invoices in the system that should at some stage be retrieved and processed.

    cheers

    Andrew
