CertCentral: New purchase order and invoice system
We are happy to announce that we are using a new purchase order and invoice system in CertCentral. We've made several changes to make it easier for you to manage your purchase orders and invoices.
The next time you sign in to CertCentral, you will see two new menu options under Finances: Pay Invoice and Purchase Orders and Invoices. Additionally, we now send all invoice emails from our new invoice system.
Pay invoices page
When you open the Pay invoice page, all invoices are preselected by default. You can choose to pay them all or select those you want to pay.
Note: If you use divisions with separate funds, when you open the Pay invoice page, all invoices for the top-level division are selected by default. Use the For dropdown to view the unpaid invoices by division in your account.
Purchase orders and invoices page
On the new Purchase orders and invoices page, you can create a purchase order (PO). In the Purchaseorders table, you can view pending and rejected POs. After we approve a PO, it becomes an invoice and moves to the Invoices table.
Note: If you use divisions with separate funds, you see the Purchase order and invoice summary page. When you click a division name, it opens the Purchase order and invoices page, where you can view the POs and invoices for that division.
In the Invoices column of the Invoices table, you can see the invoice number and the PO from which we generated it. You can download a copy of the invoice or pay the invoice. When you click Pay invoice, we take you to the Pay invoice page to pay the invoice and make the funds available in your account.
