This job aid describes the process for creating an Invoice (IN) transaction in CORE.
To create an Invoice (IN) transaction, please follow the steps below:
Using the Global Navigation Search bar enter INSRCH
On the Invoicing Search page, enter the appropriate values for your search (criteria below is for example only)
Transaction Code: enter any procurement award transaction (such as: PO,
CT, DO, CTGG1, POGG1, etc.)
Transaction Dept: DAAA
Transaction ID: If known (Use wild card (*) if exact value is not known - such as 2024* - this should be the procurement award number that is referenced on the invoice received from the vendor).
Click Apply
Select the Transaction ID to be invoiced by highlighting the correct award and click on the 3 dot menu at the right of the appropriate transaction line > Related Pages > Select Lines to Invoice. Once you click Select Lines to Invoice, the Invoicing Search Page will open.
On the Invoicing Search Page, there are several options to choose the lines to Invoice.
OPTION 1
Click the Invoice All Lines checkbox if want to pay all lines available to invoice.
OPTION 2
Click the checkbox next to the appropriate line or lines available to invoice.
OPTION 3
Use the Filter section for awards with a large number of commodity lines to see only those lines for Invoicing and mark the checkbox for each line or lines to Invoice.
After you select your option, click on Invoice in the upper right corner.
On the Create Transaction page enter transaction identification information.
a. Enter Transaction Dept Code
b. Click the checkbox next to Auto Numbering to generate a sequentially numbered Doc ID
c. Select Continue button in top left corner. You will now be taken into the IN transaction.
On the IN transaction page, click on the Header tab
a. Enter free form Description
b. Verify/enter the inferred Invoice Date as the date on the actual invoice received from the vendor
c. Populate the Vendor Invoice Number with the actual number of the vendor’s invoice. Note: this number must be unique within CORE.

NOTE: Best practice is to complete General Info tab first, then Disbursement Info and then Discount Info, if applicable.

Best practice is to leave Disbursement Format blank and allow this to auto-populate according to the Vendor Table and Address Code (if warrant must be produced use WARR otherwise leave blank and allow default from vendor table)
Click the Commodity tab
On the blue Commodity line, verify inferred Commodity, and Commodity Description
Enter Invoiced Quantity or Contract Amount. Please note: Unit Price should auto-populate from the award if entering Quantity.
