2) Impacts: invoicing the indemnity

The data of this opportunity is not lost: the times spent are well kept, if invoices have been made, they are well accounted for in the CA of the agency etc etc

You had also added a "competition" phase which represents the allowances. (click here to find out more) you can then invoice it so that it is counted in your turnover.

Your case is not deleted. You can always find it by using the filter then "lost opportunities": you will find them all here.
