Invoice Archive Tab of the Batch Billing Form

Use this tab to preview or print previously generated invoices from a Batch Billing run and print Batch Invoice List reports and Unbilled Detail reports.

On this tab, you can preview and print only invoices that were previously generated by the same user.

Invoices created through Interactive Billing do not display on this tab. Invoices and reports are deleted from this tab on a schedule that is based on the number of hours entered in the Retain Invoices for Up To field in the Invoice Distribution section of the Invoice Creation tab of the Batch Billing form when you select the Print from Invoice Archive check box in the Invoice Distribution section.
