invoices & reminders

This past week I've been on the receiving end of this from multiple vendors who send quickbooks invoices. I get the original invoice emailed TWICE. If any reminders are sent they come twice too. This is for several different bookkeeping clients of mine and all different kinds of vendors, so it's clearly a problem with QBO, and not user error on the vendor end. It's super annoying to have all my inboxes cluttered up with duplicates. Anyone else seeing this lately?

@pennyd  Best guess is that QB's pet AI is still learning.

 

Careful not to let it puke on your shoes.

Dealing with duplicate invoices and reminders cluttering your inbox is particularly challenging, especially when you have several different bookkeeping clients, pennyd.

 

Let's work together to identify the cause of this issue so you can continue your work without disruption.

 

QuickBooks sends out reminders based on the configured settings within each company. In this case, you'll want to verify the vendor setup of your client's invoice reminders and ensure they aren't scheduled as recurring transactions or invoices. You can also let them check the audit log for user activities that might have modified the reminders.

 

However, if you've confirmed everything is configured correctly, I recommend contacting our live support team. They have the resources to investigate further and identify the root cause of the issue. I'll guide you on how you can reach out to them:  

 

  1. Go to the Help menu in the upper right corner.
  2. Hit the Contact Us button.
  3. Click the Ask about something else tab.
  4. Key in your concern and hit Continue.
  5. Choose a way to connect with us:
    • Have us call you - Get a call from a support expert.
    • Chat with us - Start a conversation with a support expert.
    • Call us - Call our support line directly.

 

Check out their support hours to determine their availability.

 

I'll be adding these articles that explain how to send statements summarizing customers' balances and automate the application of late fees to overdue invoices:

Clearly you are not understanding what I posted. I am not the one sending invoices and reminders, I am on the receiving end. And I seriously doubt that suddenly everyone who uses QBO for invoicing has suddenly changed their account settings. It's a bug on your end, QBO, that needs to be fixed.
