Question

Check Email Later for a batch of invoices

We have well over 1000 invoices we would like to "email later".  When the invoices got created, they did not have the default set to "email later".  How can we choose a range of invoices and set them all to "email later"?

 

Thank you

Hi there. I can share with you some tips on how to manage batch invoices.

 

While setting up a range of invoices to email later in QuickBooks Desktop is unavailable, you may need to do it manually by opening the invoice and checking the box for Email later

 

Here's a screenshot you can check for reference:

 

 

Moreover, ensure to select Auto-check the "Email Later" checkbox if customer's Preferred Delivery Method is e-mail from your Send Forms preferences. This allows future invoices to be emailed later automatically. Here's how:

 

  1. Open the Edit menu.
  2. Go to Preferences.
  3. Scroll down and click on Send Forms.
  4. Select the My Preferences tab.
  5. Check the box for Auto-check the "Email Later" checkbox if customer's Preferred Delivery Method is e-mail .
  6. Once done, click on OK.

Thank you for the response. However,  we are aware of being able to set the email later check box one at a time.  The issue,  as mentioned,  is that we have over 1000 invoices to set as email later.  Doing them one at a time will take forever.

Good afternoon,

 

We have the same issue you had below after we imported over 1,000 invoices using transaction pro importer.  Were you able to come up with a solution?  

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thx
