Would be nice to be able to edit the AP invoice header (invoice #, PO #, subcontract #) during invoice approval process. We were told that there is currently no way to edit the header once we get down to the detail section of the entry screen.

While we can't change it today, it is a common enough of a request that maybe we will have the ability in the future.
Geoff - Thanks for the detailed response, but with that response, shouldn't this idea be marked as "Will Not Implement"?
just Hello!
You were told correctly in that once the Invoice #, PO and Subcontract # are completed they cannot be changed.
Prior to version 14, we had 5 different A/P invoice type screens. As part of version 14, we combined them all into one - at least from the user's point of view. Behind the scenes, we are routing the information back to these screens and tables that we've had since version 3. So when we are entering a subcontract invoice, Spectrum is writing the data back to the Subcontract Invoice Entry tables. Same thing with PO's and so on.
Since these fields are keys to the record, it makes the combination to tell us where to book the costs and how to update open commitments. If we changed the fields to non-keys, we would have to find another way to link those open commitments up.
Back in version 13, the user had to go to the PO Invoice screen and the Subcontract Billing screen. In v14, all of these tasks can be accomplished here in one place.
I just wanted to explain why the screen functions like it does today and why we aren't planning on making any changes to it. (At least in the short term)
Geoff
