Send Approved Invoices to an External System

• When the invoice has an A (Approved) status, the user can send it to the External Accounting System or Quickbooks, if the company has integrated it with Komet (from the Actions gray button). Once the invoice is approved in Komet, the user can proceed to process the payment in their accounting system.

• Only invoices with an Approved status will be transferred to QuickBooks. Komet, on the Sent to External System On column within the PO Reconciliation tab, will display the information of the user who sent the invoice to Quickbooks in a tooltip.

• On this screen, users can select the columns to view in the PO Reconciliation screen by clicking on the gear icon next to the "Search" button as shown below. 

• Users of multilocation companies can filter by several locations at once. These filters are considered in the Export to Excel and Send to External System options and will be remembered when the user login into the system.
