Allow Owner Change Orders to be entered when Invoice is not posted

I always receive change orders when billing is being done and I need to have the ability to enter them regardless of invoice status. It is a huge hassle to have to wait for an invoice to be posted or to have to delete it and redo it just to get a change order entered.

    It would be very nice to be able to add a change order without having to delete it completely. If it's in draft mode, you should be able to input a change order & add a new line on the invoice. This would be very helpful!

    Agree. Much wasted time when have to delete an invoice in progress & start all over.

    Agreed - if there is an open invoice, I also should be able to go into the Project Settings and add a billing item there as well.  Otherwise i can get through a list of 50 items on the invoice screen only to realize there is one missing and I need to then void/delete the invoice to add the item to the Project and start the process all over...

    You at absolutely correct.  I have this happen all the time.  I don't post our customer billings until the end of the month just in case I need to make a correction.  I abhor having to adjust contract invoices.  So this means I have to put them in a pending folder and then when the invoice has been posted enter the change order.  But what I find really frustrating is if I have starting entering a multi-page invoice and at the bottom the pm pencils in a change order that needs to be invoices.  It is a real waste of time to have to delete the invoice, go to enter change orders, approve the change order and then re-enter the invoice.
