The job we just completed will be inside the Awaiting Approval tab.
## Click Awaiting Approval
## The job we completed is now Awaiting Approval
The Awaiting Approval stage can be used in multiple ways:
* If your field techs don't add materials they can be added here.
* If your field techs add material but they need to be checked, it can be done here.
* A final check that your invoicing amount is correct.
* For marking invoices as transferred to a non-integrated accounting package. (Approve invoices once the information has been transferred)
* When integrated to an accounting package approving sends the invoice to the accounting package to be tracked.
## Approve the Job by ticking the tick box and clicking Approve
## The job is now in the Awaiting Payment screen
## To receive payment, tick the job and click Receive Payment

## Set the fields, click Add Payment
Payment Date & Method are purely used for recording purposes.
At this stage in the job the Amount field is not editable - it is possible to receive a partial payment before the job is approved.
## Your Done! The job has now been paid and is on the Paid tab.
The job will stay on this tab for 2 weeks before disappearing.
