We were advised by Syncada/PowerTrack mid-week last week that invoices previously submitted to PowerTrack that had changes or corrections made to them in PowerTrack last week, either manually through the PowerTrack User Interface, or electronically via EDI, were not maintaining the updates that had been made.
