Note:  The end or completed status of a provisional Invoice is final. Before this, a provisional invoice will have a draft status.

Before creating a final provisional invoice the provisional rate must be entered. This is then used to calculate the net amount to pay on the invoice. It is displayed on an invoice in the invoice lines section in a column called Expected Total. The column displays the calculated provisional amount based on the allocated amount.

Once the draft provisional invoice has been saved as a complete provisional invoice, the App bar shows a button for “Final invoice”.  

Note: A screen refresh may be needed to see the App bar button directly after saving the provisional invoice as complete.

To finalize the provisional invoice, select the Final invoice App bar button. A final invoice can only be created using the balance. (Final Quantity * Final Price) - Provision Amount Invoiced.

Unlike a commercial invoice, this final invoice initially is created as a draft and later can be made complete.

After creating a final commercial invoice from a provisional invoice and saving it, a link will exist between the provisional invoices and any invoices created from it.

Note; Only complete invoices are used in the calculation of the total of the invoices. Invoices not marked as final are excluded from this calculation.
