Consolidated Invoices

The responsibility of who creates the consolidated invoice is flexible and could be any user from the buyer side, though typically it is either the PMO or a member of the Finance team.

Create a Consolidated Invoice for an SOW

WorkingNet Networking, Inc., a global manufacturer of data networking equipment, is building several new distribution centers in several countries, while simultaneously implementing new logistics software and processes. They've engaged CarryAll Consulting, a logistics design and implementation firm, to both help streamline their logistics processes as well as implement the new software.

WorkingNet's Finance department would like a consolidated invoice for all SOWs tied to the supplier re:CrewIT for the business unit 'WRKT'.

As an administrator for WorkingNet, you are tasked with creating that consolidated invoice.
