13. Void and Amend Invoice
    1. Once you submit your invoice with a date you cannot edit anything except the comments

    3. If you notice an error, click "Update" at the bottom of the screen
    4. The page will refresh and the Void and Amend buttons will be available for your use at the bottom of the invoice
       
       1. Select Amend if you need to change the costs
          1. The invoice items previously added will remain (including comments) and the previous invoice number will no longer be editable.
          2. If you amend the invoice the same day you create it, only the latest version of the invoice will be sent to Workday (not the original).
          3. If you amend the invoice at a date after the creation date, an overnight process is required before the amended version is available in Workday.
       2. Select Void if you need to create a new invoice from scratch
          1. Items from the voided invoice will be available on the Invoiceables tab
          2. Return to to the first section on this page to re-start the invoice process.
          3. If you void the invoice the same day you create it, the invoice will never be sent to Workday.
          4. If you void the invoice at a date after the creation date, an overnight process is required before the invoice is voided in Workday.
14. Write-Offs
    1.  If WashU has agreed to decrease the amount payable through negotiations for final payment, it might be appropriate to perform a write-off.
    2. The write-off functionality only becomes available on the invoice once a payment has been applied to the invoice. 
       1. If the entire invoice needs to be written off, a phony payment can be manually created in OnCore and .005 can be applied to the invoice. 
       2. This shouldn't decrease the amount due, but will allow one to edit the invoice to enter the write-off amounts. 
       3. Please contact oncore@wustl.edu if you need assistance with this.
    3.  The write-off functionality in Oncore does not integrate with Workday, so if you enter a write-off amount on an OnCore invoice, this action will need to be manually duplicated on the corresponding Workday invoice.
