The Expense Management Finance module is to manage the invoices of the network services inventories of the Customers. Its invoice processing and management functions help customers to control invoice entry, reconciliation, payment and internal chargeback processes.
Fully integrated with the Inventory and Purchasing modules, Invoicing allows you to effectively manage the invoices for your network services inventory. As the network services inventory and related invoices in your organization grows, the processing of the invoices can quickly become overwhelming. Invoicing helps you manage these invoices by tracking their progress as they are processed. As an invoice is received, reviewed for accuracy and ultimately approved for payment, the Expense Management system tracks these events.
