Vendor invoicing workflow
Can I edit information in Redteam Flex for Invoices received from TeamPlayer?
Yes, you can edit some fields in RedTeam Flex while the invoice is in draft, keep in mind this does not include amounts billed, if you have disputes on amounts billed on the SOV lines, you'd need to reject and cancel the invoice and have the vendor resubmit it from TeamPlayer.
To learn more about rejecting invoices click here.
Once the invoice is committed, only RedTeam Flex users using an accounting integration with Sage300 can edit some of the fields in RTF for TP invoices.
Invoice number, Invoice Date, Due Date and Description are the only fields that can be edited once the invoice is committed.
You need to have a specific permission assigned to your role to be able to edit those fields:
Permission name: EditCommittedTPVendorInvoice
By default only Company admins have this permission activated as default, if you need to have this assigned to your role please contact your company admin.
If you are a Company Admin you can assign this role to your team.
IMPORTANT:
For Companies using Sage300, to be able to edit Committed TeamPlayer Invoices the following requirements need to be met:
The company must not be using Accounting Periods.
Invoice must be in Committed status.
User should have permission: EditCommittedTPVendorInvoice assigned to his role.
The invoice should not have been paid yet.
When a vendor invoice is received from TeamPlayer, it will appear in your RedTeam Invoices list as a Draft Invoice.
If the “Reject & Cancel” button is used in Step 5 of the Invoice Approval process, the Invoice will return to the vendor in their TeamPlayer account, also as a draft, so that they may make any requested corrections
A Vendor may have only one draft invoice at a time for a single commitment, so all previous invoices must be committed by the GC before the vendor can submit their next invoice.
Note that if an invoice is initially submitted via TeamPlayer, it can only be modified via the vendor’s TeamPlayer portal. It cannot be re-submitted manually via RedTeam.
