Agree with everyone. This would be a huge timesaver!
This request has been in here for nearly 5 years. Let's get it completed. There is no reason for the invoice name box to lock down. It should be editable until posted. If no PO or Subcontract is selected, then the Vendor should be changeable until posted. We've had some 45 distribution line invoices put in that were to the wrong vendor that had to be deleted and re-entered, all because they were one row off when selecting the vendor. This should be an easy fix.
I agree with everyone. You should be able to revise and invoice before and after posting it, and it should not take years to make those changes to a program. Once the invoice has been paid is a different story.
I completely agree! Allowing us to enter the PO number after the invoice number has been entered would be so helpful!

Yes! super annoying. I may forget to check to see if there is a PO or Subcontract with a vendor, and have to start over as well. After you enter the invoice number, it's too late. I understand that this feature keeps you from entering a duplicate invoice, but an option to edit would be beneficial.
I think Michael Lewis was hacked. I've informed Viewpoint, don't open his attachments.
I find it very frustrating when entering an invoice number and accidentally hit “enter” before finishing the invoice # and then you have to start all over. It would be great to be able to make corrections while entering…

Kristen,
The team is looking at this. Unfortunately, it is not a simple fix given the database and record constraints of the system.
Again - this is still In Review two months later since my last comment, so almost two years since this was posted. I do not see the reasoning of "locking" the invoice number and vendor anyways. It makes it so that you cannot change it, you must delete the whole invoice which is a huge waste of time. This seems like it would be simple enough to fix and not take 2 years to do so..
@ Kristen. I agree with you. Nothing should take 1 - 2 years to be implemented. While Management Suite was not the best there where a lot of things that you could do that you can't in this software. This needs to be done immediately.
This has been In Review over a year and a half. One could guess that it's not actually being reviewed. You have to take tons of steps to correct one digit mistake.
This is but one of the areas of ProContractor that is v-e-r-y unforgiving. I can't tell you how many times I have had to redo entire postings (AR, AP, PR, JE) because I accidently entered the wrong date or just made a typo. It is also mysterious as to why some fields (usually distribution details) can be modified but other fields cannot be modified and have to be deleted in order to get the right data into the system.
@Gayle
Agreed about being able to change the invoice number. Date might be an issue based on the audit trail.
I agree. Furthermore, it would be nice to be able to enter the invoice number r date after you post Sometimes you don't catch it until after you posted an invoice that you entered incorrectly.
Agreed.
