You are returned to the Labor tab of the Interactive Billing form, where you see the following:

  • If you did not change the prefilled number of hours in the hours fields for the transaction, the transaction displays in the Labor grid with its original number of hours and its status changed to Written-off.

After you final accept the current invoice, the written-off transactions are removed from the Labor grid.
