Copying Invoices

How can invoices be copied? What data will be copied?

Copying invoices allows users to access invoices without re-uploading them to Dooap. This can be useful, for example, when an invoice has been accidentally moved to the archive.

  • Status: The status of the copied invoice is New. Therefore, the invoice must be approved before transferring to payment.
  • Invoice number: The invoice numbers of the new and old invoices are the same and will therefore be marked in red. This alerts the user to duplicate invoice numbers but does not prevent the transfer for payment. To avoid this, either the original or the copied invoice must be removed or renamed.
  • Original invoice: The original invoice will remain in Dooap unchanged when it is copied.

 


The following data will and will not be transferred to the copied invoice:

Data retained when copying
Data not copied
  • PDF-image
  • XML-data (OCR invoice data)
  • Workflow
  • Header data
  • NPO coding (excl. accrual setup and inter-company changes)
  • Project coding
  • Approval status
  • History log
  • User comments
  • Auto-post setting
  • PO invoice matching data/distributions
