Sending Invoices by email to Specific Customers by the End of Day.

[Cuisinecorp]

We have a big customer list and some of our customers need invoices emailed at the end of the day but if we send to all then there are many who don't want the invoices emailed to them.

Is there any way we can use a custom field in the Advanced filter of Print/Email Invoices; so that we can select all those customers who were flagged for daily invoices. Any option to utilize a custom field in the Advanced filter for Print/Email Invoices will be very helpful but currently this option is not there.

Hi @Cuisinecorp , can you use the (Customer) "Selected:" dropdown at the top right of that window, or am I missing something?

Hi Mike,

Customer Selected will only select one customer at a time where as we have a big list who want invoces by the end of the day. A Custom Field attached to those customers will be very useful to do the task with a few clicks.

Hi @Celia_B,

I will try this tip (it looks handy) but I am thinking of a scenario where after sending invoices by email to all those customers (who have been marked as Invoice delivery method  "to be emailed"); the status flag in the invoice will become "Already Printed or Sent". In that case it will again be a manual selection of customers if we have to send the invoices again (some times email despatch is failed). A Custom field to mark any specific customers for the purpose of sending invoices by email; some customers ask for invoices daily; some ask on a specific day of the week and some ask monthly. The custom field can really help in this regard.

Hi @Cuisinecorp,

Thank you for getting back to us and providing an update on the issue. 

In this regard, I understand that using the custom field could be more convenient in setting the customers' preferences when sending invoices. However, you can only set up the customers preferences by going to card file >>card list. We appreciate your effort in posting on our Idea Exchange Boards for sharing your ideas. Rest assured this is looked at as a priority. 

Let me know if you require further assistance with this or if you have any further questions. We'll be happy to assist you.
