This is what the Finance module looks like (the items in the Actions section are likely to change depending on the status of the Invoice):

Finance Sub Modules:
 
Finance Periods
Multiple Finance Periods can be entered to aid budget and spend tracking.
 
Revenue Budgets
The Revenue Budgets management tool tracks spend logged against budgets which have been set by Work Order or Sub Work Order Types.
 
Capital Budgets
Capital Budgets issued by the Client's Finance team are captured within this module and are allocated at Work Order level. When creating a new Capital Budget the User has the ability to enter start and end dates, and also the Buildings which the budget is applicable to.
 
Override AOVs
Override AOV functionality allows the User to set estimated costs against Work Order or Sub Work Order Types.  The AOV is then applied to Work Orders raised within that Work Order or Sub Work Order Type. 
 
Invoice Management
Centralised invoice input and process management via the Ostara application.
