Invoice-related obligations are tracked automatically too
Every contract obligation tied to invoicing - payment milestones, invoice submission deadlines, late payment penalty clauses, and PO-linked due dates - is extracted and monitored the same way as SLA and delivery obligations. When an invoice obligation is at risk, it's flagged here and cross-referenced with live invoice status inside the AP & AR Workflows module and Invoice–PO Reconciliation module - so your finance and legal teams see the same picture.
