Any new work should be opened as a job ticket, as it happens. A job ticket can be opened anytime after it is conceived, and certainly before the work begins. It's important to open new jobs as soon as possible, since purchase orders and time can't be tracked without a job number.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

• Anyone can request approval of an A/P invoice.
• Invoices that need approval can't be included on checks written in the Checkbook.
• Approvals can only be requested for vendors that have the invoice payment approval enabled.
• Approval request emails can be sent to any staffer who can approval A/P invoices.
• Approval A/P invoices can be unapproved if they were ok'd by mistake.
• Approval A/P invoices can be unapproved if they were ok'd by mistake.
• A PDF of the A/P invoice is attached to the approval request email.
• To approve an invoice for payment, click on the Approved checkbox in the A/P window.
• The Vendor Invoice Aging report highlights approved invoices with a "+".

⚠️ Invoices can't be charged to credit cards if the vendor has the "requires invoice payment approval" option enabled.

✳️ You can change your mind. You can easily turn on or turn off a vendor's requirement for invoice approval. Existing invoices will be unaffected. The setting is only used by the Checkbook when you're writing checks to that vendor.
