Invoice
The Invoices transaction which may be accessed two ways, handles the invoicing and un-invoicing of Purchase Orders. The main method to enter Vendor invoices is via Purchasing > Invoice. The alternate method is marking Purchase Orders as "Invoice/Pre-Pay" during the initial entry process. Regardless of which method is used the process is the same. It is important to note that in Deacom, a Purchase Order is required to pay an invoice.
