    To remove a charge DELETE the charge using the red X at the left hand end of the row. Any and all Time Entries and/or Expense Entries that the system used to calculate the original Charge Amount will be disassociated and will once again be available to recreate the Charge.

    If a dialog indicates that the Charge is attached to an Invoice it is necessary to delete the invoice in order to release the charge. Locate the Invoice. Invoice Manager>> Find Invoice in the List, click the red X at the left hand end of the row, in the dialog choose to return to the Charges page. If the Invoice has already been assigned an Invoice Number it may be desirable to make a note of the Invoice Number.

    If a dialog indicates that the Invoice Status is Submitted or Approved, an administrator can reassign the invoice status (if appropriate) to permit the delete action. Invoice manager>> Find Invoice in the List, set Status to Open.

    After the changes the invoice must be re made, re submitted and re approved.
