Invoices can be accessed from various locations within the iLab system (link on the left-hand navigation, billing tab of a Core, link e-mailed to a user). Accessing an invoice opens up an interactive view that provides details on the contents of the invoice and allows for various actions. Note that this interface has a number of features only available to Core Administrators and Staff, as indicated in the article.
