When the timesheets for an Account Period have been confirmed you are ready to review, generate and print the invoices.
Before generating invoice, you review them for accuracy. If the invoices appear correct, you can generate the accounts. If there is a discrepancy in the invoices, you can close the accounts, make the required corrections and then review the accounts again before generating.
When an invoice is being reviewed and has NOT been generated, it has a “Preview” watermark. The watermark is removed when invoices are generated.
Late Timesheet Confirmations
When you generate accounts, the invoices will include confirmed timesheet rosters for the current account period PLUS any other timesheet confirmed rosters for prior account periods.
Held Invoices
Hospital > Invoice Details tab
If invoices for a Hospital were withheld from generation, the Invoice Hold option selected on the Hospital Details tab, you have the option of creating invoices for each held account period or creating one invoice for all the outstanding periods.
To produce a separate invoice for each held Account Period, you must select and generate invoices for each account period one at a time.
Important Note: When you are generating accounts, you should ensure all users are out of the invoice, rating and roster screens.
