As an Accounts Payable Specialist, you can create an invoice manually from the Source-to-Pay Workspace when the automated invoice creation process is encountering issues or not available.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_ap_apm.accounts_payable_specialist or sn_ap_apm.admin

## About this task

Invoices are created automatically by integration with Document Intelligence. However, you can also create invoices manually.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAllAccounts Payable OperationsSource-to-Pay Workspace.
2. Under Quick actions, select Create New Invoice.
3. On the Create New Invoice form, fill in the fields.  
   For a description of the field values, see [Create New Invoice form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/pOf0~kX1K~7IkhSnn3bgKw "Use the Create New Invoice form to enter the details of the new invoice.").
4. Select Save.  
   A new invoice is created in the Draft state, a new invoice case is created with a category of Invoice automation and sub-category of Invoice processing, and the new invoice is associated with the invoice case.

   For
   more information about working with an invoice processing case, see [Work on an invoice processing case](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Gijm2x4LpXipljvxxx2pKw "Perform different manual actions to process an invoice.").
