Invoice
Ascriptica supports invoicing participants for paid courses. Configure your own invoice and send one every time a user pays for a course. Start at whatever number make sense for your organization. Ascriptica is smart enough to hold the invoice if payment is turned off or if the cost is $0.

Registration Approval Updates
Ascriptica now has the ability to support a 3 tiered registration approval process. When a course is configured to require approval it can be set to request approval from the work location, district, then a final approval from your organization.
