How does invoicing work

External Invoicing facilitates the process of submitting invoices by filling in a simple form of hours worked at which venues. All information is securely stored and displayed as part of your online account. All invoices can be viewed by signing in and clicking home to see your dashboard. The dashboard allows you to add new invoices, track current invoices and view archived invoices.

Archived invoices

Stores all invoice requests that have been approved, processed and marked as paid. You can click on any of these invoices to see the details. Below the details of your invoice you can see the approval and any notes that are relevant.

Current invoices

Displays all the invoices you have recently submitted and have not been paid. This area allows you to click on any invoice and keep track of the status. By clicking on the details of any given invoice you can then review notes, reasons and where it is in the process.

Creating a new invoice

  1. Either click the "New Invoice" link on the left hand side of your screen or go to your dashboard and click "Add new invoice"
  2. Select the venue/unit you worked at from the dropdown.
  3. Put in your start and end times using the slider to adjust the times. Please note that if you finish work after midnight this is considered as a new day, e.g. working from 10pm on Friday and finishing at 2am in the morning will be treated as:
    • Start Date 22/03/2013 22:00
    • End Date 23/03/2013 02:00
    This will then display the numbers of hours worked. Please ensure this is correct before proceeding.
