Creating User-Defined Fields?

I was hoping that there is a way to create a series of user defined fields
for a business environment that would allow my co-workers to indicate that
various tasks have been completed for an e-mail message.

For example, our accounting department receives invoices via e-mail. One
person prints the invoice, another enters it in the accounting system,
another approves it, and another pays it.

So what I'd like to see is literally a check-box to indicate that each
person has done their part on the invoice.

Is this possible, and how do I do it using an exchange server?
 
Have you looked at Exchange Workflow solutions? Try MSDN for starters.

No, I haven't. Would you tell me more about it, how I can find it? This is
something that is completely new to me, so it's sounding a little advanced
for my knowledge :).

I appriciate your help on this!
