Routing Tab in ConnectWise Invoice Search
The Routing tab lets you define a review sequence for an invoice — a list of members who must approve it before it moves to batch emailing. Routing defaults are configured in the Billing Setup table per location; the Routing tab on a specific invoice lets you override or supplement that default.
Add a routing entry to an invoice
- Go to Finance > Invoice Search and select an invoice.
- Select the Routing tab.
- Select New Item.
- Enter a Sequence # to set the review order.
- Select a Member from the drop-down.
- Select Save And Close.
Route an invoice forward or backward
When an invoice is sent to you for review, you receive a notification in the Notices section of your Today Screen. Go to Finance > My Invoices to see all invoices awaiting your approval.
You can route from the My Invoices list or from inside the invoice itself.
From the My Invoices list
- Go to Finance > My Invoices.
- Select the checkbox next to each invoice you want to route.
- Select a Route arrow to choose the direction:
- Forward — sends the invoice to the next reviewer. The invoice moves to the Invoice Batch Emailing screen and becomes visible to that member.
- Backward — sends the invoice back to the previous reviewer. That reviewer gets a Today Screen notification and must restart the review.
- Select Close Window on the Routing Invoices dialog when routing is complete.
From inside an invoice
- Go to Finance > My Invoices and select an invoice.
- Select a Route arrow to choose Forward or Backward (same behavior as above).
Note: There is no confirmation dialog when routing from inside an invoice. The action is immediate.
When a member routes an invoice forward, their routing record is marked as reviewed and the date and time are stamped automatically.
