There are two ways to release invoices:

1. Manual invoice release

Usually your accounting department releases invoices. Oracle Projects records the invoice release information of the person who released the invoice and the date it was released.

Before you release an invoice, you determine if the invoice is taxable or not. See: Applying Tax to Project Invoices.

2. Automatic invoice release

The Automatic Invoice Approve/Release Extension allows you to release invoices automatically as part of the Generate Draft Invoice process. See: Automatic Invoice Approve/Release Extension.

Attention: Once you release an invoice in Oracle Projects, you cannot change or delete it. You can adjust a released invoice; Oracle Projects processes adjustments to released invoices by creating crediting invoice transactions.

After you release an invoice, you need to interface the invoice with Oracle Receivables using Oracle Projects processes. These processes interface draft invoices, create invoices, and tie back invoices. See: Integrating with Oracle Receivables.

   To release an invoice manually:

1. Navigate to the Find Invoices window.

2. Find the invoice you want to release.

3. In the Invoice window or Invoice Summary window, choose the Release button.

Note: You cannot release multiple invoices at one time. They must be released individually, because you must provide the invoice date and invoice number. (If you have elected to use automatic invoice numbering, you only need to enter the invoice date.)

4. Save your work.
