Invoicing on ChorusPro [1]
**Here’s the short version which I hope answers your question. To see the ‘invoices’ menu option, you need to log out and log back in again.**
Invoicing on ChorusPro
The French government has introduced a new centralized online invoicing system which small suppliers of services to universities have to deal with. It’s the most horrific internet nightmare I have ever encountered. But, hey, if you’ve come to this post then you probably already know this.
I am far from having received my first payment through Chorus Pro. But this is an emergency post for anyone else out there currently tearing their hair out and wondering what is going on.
Where is the invoicing menu option on ChorusPro?
Thanks to a post on UK Business Forums I learned that after you have set yourself up as an individual user, you have to create yourself as a structure, and then connect your individual user profile to your structure. Then you should be able to find the option to add espaces (areas) including options pertaining to invoices.
But even after you have checked the services you want, you still don’t see the menu bar options for invoices. WHY? I found the answer buried on the support pages:
Après avoir cliqué sur le bouton Valider, l’espace ajouté est actif et devient visible dans le bandeau supérieur de Chorus Pro pour le(s) gestionnaire(s) de la structure après reconnexion.

Translation: You have to log out and then log back in again, and then the menu options are visible. And again we cry: WHY?
If I manage to submit an invoice or ever get paid, I will be sure to post about it. This is just an emergency message to the internet in case there is anyone else at all who still hopes to supply services to French public institutions and get paid in return.
