Ready To Invoice Enforcement


This would allow the Dealership more control over the ability to Invoice - the workflow of your service department may require that someone review all completed jobs before they are finalized and invoiced


This new control is only available when you have the Ready to invoice status activated


When this new control has not been enabled, the job status can be either Job complete OR Ready to invoice in order to checkout or otherwise finalize the service job


If this new control has been enabled, you will not be able to checkout or otherwise finalize a service job until the status of that job has been set to Ready to invoice


To enable this setting:




1.  From the Blackpurl Header > click  then select System Settings



2.  From the System Settings Dashboard, click



3.  Open up the section Shop Settings 



4. Then move the toggle to enable the setting - To finalize a job the status must be Ready to invoice






5.  Once this new control is enabled, the user will not be able to checkout or otherwise finalize a service job 

until the status of that job has been set to Ready to invoice
