Contract Invoices

You can create invoices for any contracts with billable transactions.

You can use filters to preview a set of potential invoices, then execute an invoice run based on that preview. You can choose to aggregate invoices by customer, contract, project, or bill-to contact.

Note: FILTERNAME may be removed in a future release. POLICYNAME should be used instead.

Note: Do not confuse a contract invoice preview with a preview snapshot, which is used for reporting purposes in the Sage Intacct UI.
