Invoice Reminders

This is a feature request.

 

On the Invoices screen, you can easily select an overdue invoice and send a reminder. But there is no visual (that I can see) that says a reminder has been sent. There should be a record of reminders sent, perhaps as part of the Status so we don't inadvertently spam our customers.

Invoice Reminders

You can view the transaction's history, @Yo_Be_Low.

 

Also, you can review your account's audit log. It also shows detailed information about the invoice transaction.

 

Here's how:

  1. Open  the customer's invoice.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen. 

 

I've added these articles to help you learn more about the Audit log feature: 

 

Let me know if you have other concerns or questions while managing your invoices. I'm always around to help.

Unfortunately, it does not appear as if Reminder Notices are included in the Activity log. I have clicked on and reviewed the activity log of an invoice that I have sent a Reminder for, at that event is not mentioned in the activity.

Hi Yo_Be_Low!

 

Yes, there isn't a log that literally says you've sent a reminder. I'll take this as feedback for future enhancements.

 

With the current setup, if you'll see two email (sent) logs in the Activities section, you can assume that the last one is a reminder, especially when the date is close to the due date.

 

By the way, you can set up automatic reminders for your future invoices so you won't have to check each one.

 

Feel free to reach back out if you have other questions in mind.

I see. So if it says Invoice Sent anywhere in the Activity log, that's a reminder notice. It would be helpful if this could be a bit more explicit. On the Invoice Summary page, there's a status bar with options Sent - Viewed - Paid - Deposited. A nice enhancement would be if I hovered the mouse (or clicked on) each of these categories, it would provide a quick view of the related activity. For example, if I hover the mouse over Sent, it would show the dates & times the invoice or a reminder was sent. If you hover over Viewed, it would show the dates/times the invoice was viewed. The whole point of this summary screen is so that you don't have to click on and review every invoice individually.

 

Additionally, I note that when I click on several invoices, in the detailed Activity, it says it has been viewed many times. Yet on the summary screen, the status is Sent, not Viewed.
