Edit, delete, or move invoices

You can edit, delete, or move an invoice until the 1st company user begins the invoice approval process. This starts when the 1st company user opens the invoice to review it. If
Edit
doesn't show in the toolbar then you can't edit the invoice.

What to do if you need to edit or delete an invoice that Is already in the approval process

Contact your client if you need to edit, delete, or move an invoice that is already in the approval process. If they haven't finally approved the invoice, ask them to reject it so you can repost a corrected version. They can also move the invoice to another matter, if necessary.
If final approval for an invoice was given by your client, then your client can no longer reject an invoice. You will need to coordinate with your client's AP department to remedy the situation. For example, your client could post a correcting memo entry invoice to pay you the modified or corrected amount or you could submit a correcting invoice to your client, which they could then process.

Who can alter invoices?

Company users can't delete an invoice. They'll either reject an invoice back to the firm or move the invoice to another matter. The following firm users can alter an invoice:
  • Matter Administrators and Matter Editors for the matter the invoice was posted to.
  • Any firm user with a system role of Firm User + Billing, Firm Administrator, or Firm Office Administrator (firm users with billing rights).

Edit, delete, or move invoices

You can alter an invoice by selecting
Billing
in the left navigation or from within a matter. Firms can't move LEDES invoices posted by SpeedPost or that were posted to a Consolidated Billing Matter because Tracker relies on the firm, client, and matter number to route the invoices. Firms need to ask their clients to move invoices when either posting method is used.
If a client doesn't want to move an invoice, firms need to repost the invoices with a new invoice number to correct the matter.

    Billing
    in the left navigation.

Moving an Invoice to a Different Matter When Reposting
If a Company addresses audits on an invoice and rejects it, a firm can't move the invoice to a different matter when reposting. If this happens, the firm needs to post a new invoice to the correct matter using a new invoice number.
