Emailing an Invoice

If the client being invoiced has selected to receive their invoices via email, you can email the invoice to the client. The invoice is sent as a PDF attachment to the email. The email content is set up in your user options. See Setting Your Billing User Options for more information.

Important: The From email address in your firm’s billing setup is used as the sending address. Your firm must define a default From email address before the invoice can be sent or marked final. See Setting Billing Options for the Firm for more information.
