We invoiced a GC for a significant repairs that needed to be made from damages that the electrical company on the project. After a meeting with the superintendent, we came to the conclusion that we will not bill for change orders but take it from the agreed upon contracted amount. I had to win the change order to send the invoice. I am aware that I cannot delete the change order (unfortunately). The GC wants us to resubmit the invoice without the change order on there, for it to just reflect as a deduction from the total. 

I have voided the invoice. I have deleted the invoice. But yet when I preview the Payapp statement… it shows there is a change order, making the total amount higher than the contracted price. There has already been work tickets people have clocked into that have been applied and invoiced on this project. 

Does anybody know what I can do in this situation?

Two ways to do this: 1. You can undo the change order with a new change order. This is the cleanest way in my opinion. I would open any affected months & swap the work ticket costs to the work ticket you want those costs on. It’s definitely the most involved. 
2. you can do some web report designer voodoo & filter out anything in your schedule of values & change orders that has *INTERNAL* or similar in the name. This still doesn’t account for the fact that your original contract sum is going to be screwy. 
 

feel free to shoot me a DM if you want to talk through it on a call. 
 

I’ve had to back out everything in a $3m project & build a new opp because the change orders were messy & bad.
