This deceptively simple dialog launches a very powerful function of Visual Traffic – the process of committing invoices. Use it once you are sure that all invoices for a statement group are correct and complete.
The dialog explains what will happen when you commit invoices. The most significant thing to remember is that once invoices are committed, there’s no easy way to go back. You would have to recover your entire VT database from a backup made before the invoices were committed to undo the commitment process.
Do not let all this warning scare you, we just want to make sure you are ready to proceed. Of course, like most other things in life, billing is not perfect. If you find out later that a mistake was overlooked in invoicing, you simply make whatever adjustment is necessary to correct matters.
So ask yourself, "Am I really ready to move the invoices to the statements and complete this portion of billing?" If you are sure, then go ahead. If you are not sure it is time yet, click Cancel and exit the dialog.
An audit record is added to the invoice order audit trail when an invoice is committed and archived to history. An audit record is also created if someone deletes an invoice from VT. If you find an invoice can no longer be found, look for help in the audit record.
The Commit Invoice dialog lists the processes that are performed when you commit invoices. When you commit invoices, you should also Clear old Copy on the Clear Expired Copy dialog accessed from the Advertisers menu. Commit Invoices does not clear Copy records.
