Two of my invoices didn’t reach my client. They were both sent on the same day to the correct email address. Has anyone experienced this before?

I've had the same problem with emailing remittance advices today - message flashes on screen saying 'sent successfully', but they are not being received by recipients, and there is no sign of them in the audit log

I appreciate you checking the audit log to view the emailed remittance advice, @Oil2341.

We haven't received any reported issues about sending remittance advice in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let's verify it with your supplier.

Sometimes QuickBooks emails will be added to the junk or spam folder. Thus, you may coordinate with your supplier and let them check their junk or spam folder to verify. 

If they still haven't seen it, you'll want to verify if their email address is right. It's possible that the entered recipient's email address was incorrect.

Once you've verified and the email address was correct, you'll need to configure your email setup or clear and re-enter your email address. Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QBO account.
2. Click the Gear icon, then select Accounts and settings.
3. Select Company from the left menu and go to the Contact info section.
4. Clear the Company email address field and enter the desired address, even if it shows the correct one. Make sure not to use any extra characters or spaces before, within, or after the address, you enter.
5. Hit Save, and then Done.

Once done, send yourself a test transaction to narrow down the result. If you're getting the same issue, try using a different email address that has a different domain (for instance, if you were using a Gmail email address, try a Hotmail or Yahoo address instead).

If these solutions don't work for your, you may need to ask an IT expert to have the QBO mail server hostnames and IP addresses added to your outgoing mail servers.

Come back to this post and let me know how it goes, @Oil2341. I want to make sure this is taken care of.

You may also want to view the status of your supplier transactions in QuickBooks. You can go to the Expenses menu and select Vendors. Then, choose your preferred supplier and click the Transaction List tab.

Have a good one.

I had already advised the supplier to check their junk folder, I'd re-entered their email address, and also sent myself the remittance as a test - none of which produced a result.

However, before I got round to configuring my email setup as you suggest, I sent some test remittances the following day and they were received, so the issue appears to have resolved itself thanks

Hi Oil2341, thanks for coming back to us and letting us know that it resolved itself and is working now for you thanks for sharing that. Have a lovely day.

The issue seemed to resolve itself a month ago, but now it has occurred again - I have been unable to email any remittances to my suppliers since 7 September.  I have yet to try the fix that requires an IT expert

Hi Oil2341, we're aware of an issue sending remittances in QBO and we've raised this to our technicians to resolve - we've also linked you to the investigation so that you'll receive an email once resolved. :)
