My invoices are coming back to me undeliverable. Please help

Hi clgmoldxperts1,

 

You will get an undeliverable indicator if you've entered an invalid email address or there is something wrong on the recipient's email server. Check the email address of your customers and try sending your invoices again.

 

Feel free to let me know if you need more help sending your invoices.

Hello there, @BQ backwards sucks.

 

Currently, we have an ongoing investigation about undeliverable or bounced e-mail error for invoices in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I assure you that our product engineers are actively working to have a permanent fix as soon as possible.

 

Even though you've received an invoice undeliverable message, you can visit the Audit Log or history page to view whether the said transactions were already received and viewed by your customers. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Audit log.
  3. Use the fields on the Filter panel to choose the appropriate UserDate, or Events options to narrow the results.
  4. Click Apply.

 

I've attached a screenshot below that shows the last two steps.

 

In line with this, I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care team. They can add your account to the list of affected users. This ensures you're in the loop about the investigation's status and its fix. You can provide the INV-52221 to our representative as your reference.

 

Additionally, you're able to email and print multiple invoices and other sales forms in QBO. This way, you're able to save time and effectively monitor your sales transactions. You can learn more about this through this article: Email or print multiple invoices and sales forms.

 

I'm just around if you have other concerns or follow-up inquiries about invoices and other sales transactions in QBO. Take care always, @BQ backwards sucks.

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER TWO MONTHS NOW. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED. I CONTACTED SUPPORT SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE MONTHS. TODAY MY INVOICES ARE STILL NOT DELIVERING. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

This issue is still active as ALL of our invoices continue to not deliver. This has been going on for MONTHS. I called and chatted with support many times through the past few months  with no resolution! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHEN WILL THIS ISSUE BE RECTIFIED!

I have a two tickets  in and referenced INV cases as well since October of last year. No follow up!!! Just offshore reps not knowing what’s going on and giving customers the run around. Intuit outsources their tech support off shore to save money and in-turn charge us more money for ACH and monthly fees. It’s ridiculous FIX THIS ISSUE Or I’ll take my service elsewhere.

My invoices are coming back to me undeliverable. Please help

I'm getting this issue as well for specific customers. I can email the exact same (copied and pasted) email address from anywhere else, but it comes back as Undeliverable in QBO. Additionally, nowhere in QBO is the actual SMTP error code displayed, so there is absolutely nothing to provide to the customer to have them check in case it is an error on their end. We've checked their spam logs and found that there isn't even a reference to an attempt at an email from QBO, or even an email around the time I tried sending the invoice. My own email account gets CCed on the email attempt from QBO, and those go through without an issue.

 

If the QBO engineers don't know how to fix this, at least display the SMTP error code in the Audit Logs so that this information can be relayed, and the rest of us can actually do an investigation more thoroughly.

Good morning, @stephan_desmoulin

 

Thanks for chiming in on this thread. It's great to see a new face around here. Allow me to share some information about the email delivery issue with invoices in your QuickBooks Online account. 

 

I reviewed the current investigation (INV-58793) and it's still in progress at this moment. We've raised this with the engineers and we'll be in touch with an update as soon as possible. They are working hard to get this resolved for everyone. 

 

To ensure that you get an update about the problem, contact our Customer Support Team to be added to a list of affected users. Just follow the steps my colleague gave above or the link that was just given. Make sure they know the investigation number when you speak with them. 

 

Please let me know how it goes. It's my priority that you're able to get back to running your business. I'm only a post away if you need me. Have a splendid day!

All my invoices sent this morning came back undeliverable.  All other email sent through my laptop and phone through my email server is normal. This is a quickbooks fault only. Please advise

Hi Intrinsicreef,

 

Let's ensure that we've entered a valid email address before sending invoices.

 

If its correct, you can run some steps to identify isolate if you're having browser-related issues.

 

 To start with, try opening QuickBooks on a private window. This is the safest place to tell if you're experiencing some browser-related issues. I've added these shortcut keys to open one:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl Shift P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl Shift P
  • Safari: Command Shift N

 

If you're able to edit it from there, you can go back to a regular browser and clear the cache. Cache are previously visited sites. Once these gets piled up, you'll be encountering browser issues.

 

 You can also use a different browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

 

I've also added this reference for more information in managing invoices: Manage invoices in QuickBooks Online.

 

There you have it. Let me know if you need help in preparing taxes. I've got your back!

These are the same customers I have sent invoices once a month for years. The emails addresses are correct.This morning, every invoice I sent out came back undeliverable. This is quickbooks pro 2020. This is not quickbooks online. I am not sure how I would open the program in a browser

Hi Intrinsicreef,

 

Let's check to see why your customer's invoice wasn't sent.

 

You can try sending an email to your client outside QuickBooks and see if it bounces back. If it will, you can inform them about it. If it won't you can update your QuickBooks to fix any minor issues that may have caused this behavior. Then, resend the invoice. You can also try sending the invoice to yourself.

 

If the invoice will still show as undeliverable, please contact our QB Desktop Support to check this further using more tools.

 

You can always go back to this thread if you have other questions in mind. Take care always!

My invoices are coming back to me undeliverable. Please help

We are now having this issue with our company as well. So far it only happens with emails that all go to a particular management company, but since that company covers at least four businesses it is quite a hassle to now have to PDF all of the invoices and email them with the payment link. A huge time waste. I know the email are correct as we use those emails to send the invoices through Gmail. They worked every month until they suddenly all started bouncing in November. The clients say their email shows no attempt at delivery.

 

I came to research what might be going on and I must say, I am absolutely disgusted to find that this has been an ongoing problem for people for over a YEAR with no resolution. If this starts happening to more clients for us, we will absolutely be taking our business elsewhere as we can't afford the extra time it takes to PDF and email every client, and I no longer have any trust that you are even working to fix this issue. There is no excuse for it taking that long.

I encountered this issue today while sending out invoices.

 

I have my email setting to go from Outlook on Enterprise 21.0.

 

I've been able to email my invoices by deleting the description box in the body of the email. Leave the email body completely blank.

 

I hope this helps.

I was having the same issue and I just tried this and it finally worked for me.  I erased the table in the body of the email and sent it to myself and it worked!
