Invoice tasks
Invoice tasks, an extension of acknowledgment tasks, lists invoice tasks in the Open, Work in Progress, and Closed Rejected status.
Note: If you are a new customer, or an existing customer who has upgraded and installed the Shopping Hub (sn_spend_uib) plugin, these tasks aren't applicable for you. However, if you choose to continue with the existing Source-to-Pay Common Architecture (sn_shop) plugin and skip the Shopping Hub plugin, these tasks are available for you to work on.
When an invoice acknowledgment is triggered, a task is created against the invoice and displayed as an Invoice Task related list on the Invoice form view.
You can view these invoice tasks from the Receipt Acknowledgment sub-module under the Sourcing and Purchasing Automation module. The following are the key fields of an invoice task:
