You can now raise multiple invoices against a single purchase order in cost-plus jobs.

This means you can:

  • Invoice as work progresses
  • Keep your cash flow moving
  • Track costs and payments more accurately, line by line

This update gives you more flexibility, better control, and fewer workarounds when managing your jobs.
