Sometimes you may need to just create an invoice that's not associated with an Acquisitions purchase order. Maybe you ordered something outside of Acquisitions and you don't need to worry about on-order copies in the catalog, or you're not worried about keeping track of encumbrances because you already have the invoice in hand. You might also need to just account for some direct charges–like a service–and don't need to have a purchase order.

In these cases, you can create a blank invoice that's not associated with any purchase order. You can later link the invoice to a purchase order if you'd like to, but it won't be done automatically.

Select Acquisitions→Create Invoice.

Fill in the top section of the invoice. See Invoice Details for guidelines on filling in this information.

There are two options for saving an invoice:

Click Save to save the changes you have made and keep the invoice open.

Click Save and Clear to save the invoice and open a blank invoice.

For information on linking line items to the invoice, see Populating Invoices.

For information on adding charges to the invoice, see Add Charges to an Invoice.

Closing an invoice is the process that moves your money from being encumbered to being “spent”. You also need to close invoices before you can print the invoice and see the “Amount Spent by Fund” portion of the printed invoice in Acquisitions.

To close an invoice:

Open an invoice.

Ensure information is entered into all of the required fields.

Required fields are:

• Vendor Invoice ID
• Provider
• Payment Method
• Invoice Date
• Shipper
• Receiver
• # Invoiced/# Paid
• Billed
• Paid

The totals at the bottom of the invoice will calculate based on the information entered.

Click Close. This will complete the invoice. The invoice screen will refresh, and the Reopen button will appear in the place of the Save, Save & Clear, Prorate and Close buttons.

You cannot print an invoice when you're actually viewing the invoice itself. The way that Evergreen builds and puts together the nicely formatted invoice is through a trigger process instead of your browser, so you can't just hit print when you're viewing your invoice.

1. If you are currently viewing your invoice, you can hit your browser's BACK button to return you to the search screen that has a list of invoices.

2. Check the ticky box to the left of your invoice.

3. At the top, click the button that says Print Selected Invoices.
