invoice delivery issue

This just started popping up for me.  I didn't realize until I noticed I wasn't getting paid for any invoices.  Then I saw the alerts in the Sales / Invoice section.

 

This doesn't seem to be a bounced email issue, as no matter which email I put in the field, same error occurs. This is an issue with not being able to send out any invoices from QBO.  Can't resend, and only solution it offers to attempt to resend the invoice with the same error.

 

It is now Dec 2022 and issue is still not resolved.

I totally see the urgency to get this resolved to make sure your invoices are sent out, mr_galaxyre.

 

I looked at our records and I can see that an investigation about this error was opened by our engineers. This means that our our engineering team already working to determine what's causing the delivery error and create a permanent fix as well.

 

Make sure to contact our phone or chat support teams and let them know to add you to the list of affected users for INV-78254. You will also be notified via email as soon as the banking connection is sorted out.

  4. Choose between Chat with us or Have us call you.

 

In meantime, you'll want to export your invoices out of QBO. Then, send them out as PDF using your personal or business email. Here's how:

Add me to the list of those who are fed up with this software not performing as it should.... I am having the same invoice delivery issue.  My work around is to create an invoice on my pc, fail to delivery it, then resend it from my mobile app.  

 

I am reading posts about this occurring as early as June 2022.  Why is this issue not resolved yet? Is this problem going to be resolved?

I am having the same issue.  For customers I have been able to invoice for months or even years, I am now getting delivery issues with their invoices.  How can this be allowed to happen?  When is the fix due to be in place?  It looks like this has been going on for almost a year?

Hi!
We didn't have this issue, until like 10 days ago. Now we can't send any invoice; does anyone have something to try?
Of  course we can send it manually, but we have all our sistem automated.
Thanks!

I am getting this "delivery issue" error on some of my invoices, which is so weird because they all are going to the same person with the same exact saved email. Why is this happening on some invoices, and some are good. It cannot be a typo error because this person is saved in the customer database on QuickBooks? Is anyone else having this issue?

I am also having this issue with one client.  QBO has been saying for months that this client's email is bouncing but the client assures me that they are receiving the invoices.  I can confirm that they are viewing them. Currently, this is happening with only one client who recently updated their email address.  I do not know if this contributed to the issue. I hope this gets resolved soon. Please update the description of this thread as "Under Investigation" not "Solved."

I have been having this issue for the last 5 days.  Over 160 invoices are affected and the proposed work-around is absolutely unacceptable.  Was this issue ever fixed for anyone that's been on this thread for over a year or do I need to go ahead and find something else to use?  I'm not paying for a third-party to do what QBO is supposed to do and I've already tried Melio (didn't work).

 

I've talked to customer service twice and I've been assured that they're working on this but this has brought everything to a grinding halt and I'm fed up.  It's very disheartening to hear that this is not a new issue or a one-off.

I just had this for the first time today on one of my invoices. Hopefully just a one off, but I have two comments to make.

1) It would be nice to be able to view the sending log so that I can see which email address it failed to - this invoice has been sent to two different addresses, and BCCd to my own address. When resending, I have no idea who to send it to.

2) It would be useful if we could clear the 'Needs Attention' error for this invoice. I have now ensured that my customer has received a copy of the invoice. It no longer needs attention, but this error persists.

Hi there, @CH360.

 

Thanks for joining the thread and sharing your concerns with us. I'm here to assist you with your concerns about invoice delivery issues in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

You can check the Audit Log feature to see the email address of the customer. However, you cannot view their Cc and Bcc.

 

Furthermore, I agree it's a great idea to include the Cc and Bcc in the Audit log section. For this feature to be available, I recommend sending feedback about it. Your feedback will help us improve your QBO experience and will be shared with our Product Development Team.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. At the upper right corner, click the Gear icon.
  2. Under the Profile, select Feedback.
  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
  4. Then, select Next to submit a feedback.

 

For more details about the feedback process, you can check this article: Submit Feedback.

 

In addition, I will add these articles to guide you in managing your payments and reports:

 

 

Feel free to reach us out again, if you have further concerns.

??? 

I already know what the email address(es) are - why would i need to see them in the audit log.
I would like to see a log of the reason for the failure eg:

Recipient 1 - delivered successfully
Recipient 2 - failed to deliver due to error - ### some useful error message here

Recipient 3 - delivered successfully

 

As it stands, I've had to resend to multiple people multiple times and had to follow it up with a manual email apologising just in case they got many or no copies of that invoice.

This is not a feature request - this should be a basic component of the system.

 

I don't know why I bother posting here, it generally just seems like a waste of time!

It is now December 27, 2023, and this issue is not fixed.

The standard reply on chat is now:

There is no estimated resolution time yet but software engineers gives this kinds of issues the highest priority. I was able to add this company to the escalation to let them know you are as well being affected, but I took it a step forward to ensure you get the most up to date information in regards to this issue. No worries I added your email to the escalation so you will receive every single update on the steps we are taking to resolve this.

Another problem in a long line of unresolved issues affecting customers.

Hello, @cbcavnar.

 

I completely understand how important it is for you to deliver the invoice without any inconvenience. Rest assured that I will do everything to fix this.

 

As of today, there's still an ongoing investigation (INV-97274) where the QuickBooks Online (QBO) invoice cannot deliver successfully. Our product engineers are searching this issue and hope to have an update soon.

 

We will keep you informed as we receive updates. You can also check for any outages on your end by using this link:: https://status.quickbooks.intuit.com/.

 

Thank you for understanding while we're working on a fix.

It should be obvious that I did just reach out to Support, since I copied and pasted the response I was given.

My dismay comes from the knowledge that this has been a reported problem for over a year, without a resolution.

In the meantime, QBO keeps rolling out new features, reorganizing the screens and menus, and adding more higher-priced options. But without fixing the reported problems with any sense of urgency.

Priorities.
