It resides in Advantage and allows you to build complex, business intelligence-driven reports using an advanced report writer template and filters.

New Billing Approval Enhancements in the Latest Version of Webvantage!

Billing Approvals are now created automatically when the Approver accesses the Billing Batch. Approvals can be deleted and recreated as needed (when jobs have not yet been approved) which removes need to create approvals from within the batch. Also added are Quoted Quantity/Hours, Actual Quantity Hours, and the ability to approve Time, Income Only and Vendor charges through a specific date.
