Unlike a Contractor Invoice, which is typically used to manage contractor billing and progress-based payments, a Payable Invoice provides a way to record an incoming invoice that your organization is responsible for paying. A Payable Invoice can be connected to a Project and Budget, allowing your team to keep the cost, vendor, and financial information organized in one place. Once created, the invoice can also be tracked through the project's funding workflow and associated with reserved funds when applicable. ## What You Can Manage Through a Payable Invoice A Payable Invoice can be used to: * Record invoices received from vendors or suppliers * Associate an invoice with a specific project * Add vendor and payment information * Record invoice amounts, taxes, and other applicable details * Add multiple invoice lines * Associate the invoice with a project budget and budget line * Track payable costs within the project * Utilize reserved project funding against the invoice when applicable This guide covers how to create and manage a Payable Invoice, with the recommended workflow of creating it directly from the Project Dashboard. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
