Purchase Invoices enables you to add Supplier Invoices against Budgeted Additionals, so that you can track costs against a project. Purchase Invoices are linked to Additionals in the Fee Estimator area. As you add Purchase Invoices to a Project, you will see the costs associated with delivering the Project update in the Story So Far. This article sets out how to add a Purchase Invoice to a Project in CMap.
In this article, we’ll explain how to:
- Add a Purchase Invoice on the Project
