Upon completion of an invoice batch, Aspire will automatically save a PDF copy of each work order opportunity invoice as a property attachment. This ensures that an exact, archived copy of the invoice is available for future reference, maintaining consistency and accuracy.
If you click the Back icon without confirming the emailing of the invoices, the completion of the batch is canceled. If you confirm sending the email, or if there are no invoice email contacts, Aspire sends the emails and then generates a printable version of each invoice in the batch for which the associated property is not marked “Paperless Invoice”, allowing you to print and mail them. Note: The selection of invoices on the Batch screen by placing a checkmark in front of them has no effect on this function – this function applies to all invoices in the batch. |
