Invoice statuses
Important! This feature must be enabled by the Administrator. Otherwise, the Invoice Status column will remain empty and no status or status description will be displayed in the data form.
Statuses are assigned to invoices based on rule checks and/or manual checks performed by operators. Statuses are displayed in the Invoice Status column in the document list.
Note: Rule checks affect the status of invoices only when they are processed within the Invoice Processing (EU) project. For more information, see Rules and the status of invoices in the Invoice Processing (EU) project below.
| Status | Description |
| Valid | Rule checks have been successfully completed and the invoice is ready for export |
| Exception | Invoice requires verification |
| Rejected | The invoice does not comply with legislation (necessary data could not be found, is missing or has been recognize incorrectly). This data must be specified manually or the invoice must be processed in other ways (e.g. returned to the vendor) |

The invoice does not comply with legislation (necessary data could not be found, is missing or has been recognize incorrectly). This data must be specified manually or the invoice must be processed in other ways (e.g. returned to the vendor)The status of an invoice is determined automatically by validation rules. When errors have been corrected, rule checks are carried out again and a new status is automatically assigned to the invoice. For details, See Available rules.
If an invoice contains errors that could not be corrected and has a status other than Valid, the status must be confirmed by the operator. Such invoices will be exported separately from the correctly completed invoices (as specified by the Administrator).
The status of an invoice can be specified manually. For example, to allow the program to export invoices that do not satisfy some of the rules, the operator can change their statuses to Valid. Similarly, the status of an invoice that satisfies all of the rules but that should not be exported needs to be manually changed to Rejected or Exception.
