Sending Sales Invoices by Email
To send a sales invoice to a specified email address:
- Navigate to the detail page for the document you want to send. You can only send sales invoices that have a status of "Complete". See Viewing Sales Invoice Lists for more information.
- Click Email PDF. If you don't see this button, either switch to Classic Edition or ask your administrator to add this custom button to Extended Edition. This button is also available on the Sales Invoices Lightning page. A copy of the document is created and sent as a PDF attachment to the specified email address. The default email template
is used, unless you have created your own custom email template.
The visibility of this button is controlled by a custom setting.
An event of type "Emailed" is logged in the event log. The event log description records the email address to which the message and its attachment were sent.
Messages are sent to the invoice email address specified on the account detail section of the sales invoice or credit note detail page. If an email address is not specified, the request will fail.
Enterprise Billing
If your organization needs to create enterprise billing documents, you cannot use Classic Edition
for this and you must ask your administrator to add a series of custom buttons to your Extended Edition
page layouts. See What is Enterprise Billing? and Customizing Page Layouts (and Search Layouts) for related information.
