With this, allow for deduct change orders to come in on the back end of the project. There are often times that I need to back charge a subcontractor after they've billed for their work. Allowing for the deduct change orders would allow for the negative billing so we don't have to unapproved previously approved invoices. Additionally, even if we do that, Trimble Pay doesn't sync with Spectrum to bring that negative change order into the contract.
Not having the ability to do this makes correcting previously processed/paid invoices nearly impossible in the Trimble Pay system. While the submitters/approvers are supposed to get it right the firs time, we all have instances where they do not. t
