Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation Quick Tip: Is the Actual invoiced or not?

Often the accounting department is not so technical and comes back with small issues on using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation (PSA). One of these issues was brought to me last week.

Amongst thousands of Actuals, the user wondered, how do we understand whether they are invoiced or yet to be invoiced?

It is a pretty nice question because when it comes to you for the first time you realise the challenges faced by the invoicing department. This confusion applies mainly to time and materials projects and not for fixed bid as the invoicing in fixed bid is not depended on the approvals of the time entries done by the resources.

Let's look at two possible solutions to this issue.
