Invoices
For invoiceable budgets, this section provides information on all invoices issued to date. In most cases, the invoice number is a hyperlink allowing you to view and download the invoice as a PDF:
If a sponsor requests a copy of an invoice, or if the department is required to provide backup for GCA's invoices (e.g., receipts, timesheets, or progress reports), the "Email to Sponsor" tool provides a template and the opportunity to add additional attachments:
Internal invoices (marked with a purple "I") are created in the following situations:
- When the sponsor's invoice format requires manual processing.
- When GCA receives a payment before issuing an invoice.
In both cases, the invoice number is a system placeholder allowing GCA to receive and track the payment rather than an actual document that has been issued to the sponsor. As such, these invoices are not hyperlinked and should not be emailed out. If you have questions about an internal invoice, please send GCA a message via Grant Tracker.
Receipts
This section provides an overview of payments received for invoiceable budgets:
