Using the Invoice Email Feature

The following fields have been added to the Post invoice proposal form, which populates information based on the setup done on the Project + parameters form, as described in the Parameter setup section. You can modify the fields on invoice proposal form and process the invoice proposal.

Based on the set up, the email for the project invoice is generated and sent successfully, when

  • The Email attachment check box is selected.
  • The Print invoice check box is selected.

The email displays the details of the invoice in text and contains the PDF file of the invoice as an attachment. You can click Add to add more attachments, if required.

The attachment to the mail has the name of the customer, legal entity, and the invoice number as a naming convention.


Note – Print archive is required for the projects360 emailing to work. In case if you are not using the ‘Use print management destination’ then, use the ‘Printer setup’ option available as tab on the post invoice proposals form to manually set ‘Print archive’ to Yes.
