The thing is, every company has their own fulfillment set up. One site
I've done has a script that batches invoices twice a day to send off to
an AS/400. Another uses a custom script for dumping invoice into
an excel spreadsheet.
The interface might not be perfect, but the current version will allow you
to get done what you need. You can click to view a list of invoices sorted
by date. Then you can click into an invoice and add arbitrary status
records. So, you could sit in front of a browser and update invoices,
one by one. That only works for low volume, I know.
You're right that it wouldn't be hard to make a report that lists invoices
that aren't fulfilled. You don't need new columns, just to add a new
status type. If you (or someone else) writes it, I'll add it to the
project.
