Change billing item status

Move a billing item through its lifecycle (Pending, Ready to Bill, Processed, Completed) so the finance team can track what is ready to invoice and what is already done.

A user can change a billing item’s status if they have either the BI_ADMIN or ALTER_BI role, or if they have write access to a specific menu section. These two options are checked separately in the frontend.

There are four billing item statuses: Pending, Processed, Completed, and Ready to Bill. These statuses are recorded in the system’s database.

The web application only restricts status changes in the user interface, allowing specific transitions between statuses. However, the backend system does not enforce these restrictions and accepts any status change without validation.

  1. Open the Billing board and select the items you want to update.
  2. Choose the new status from the bulk actions menu.
  3. Confirm the change. (HAND-CURATED CONTENT — must survive regeneration.)

When the status of a billing item changes, the system records a log entry showing the old and new status.
