Module Customization for Invoices

    Module customization enables you to set defaults and set up workflow routing, where applicable, for the Invoices business processes. There are two types of defaults:

    • Client level defaults are set in MaintenanceData MaintenanceModule Customization.
    • Project level defaults are set by selecting the Customize button within the Module.

    Available customization choices at the Project level are similar to the Client level, with a few exceptions.
