Q11.
Can I receive invoices for orders paid with cash or checks at a branch?
A11.
You will not receive invoices for transactions that were paid for with cash or check
Q12.
Can I receive invoices only for the transactions/purchases that I have made, without receiving invoices for all the transactions on the account?
A12.
Paperless invoices will be generated for all transactions on the account number set up on paperless invoicing, regardless of who placed the order or what ordering method was used. We do, however, have a few recommendations that may help you distinguish invoices for your transactions, as follows:
- If you know the PO number for your transactions, you can identify the invoices associated with an individual user’s transactions. Since the PO number is in the subject line of the email, the invoices can be easily forwarded to the appropriate user if all the purchasers use their individual names as the PO number.
- Your company can setup a generic accounts payable email box to where the invoices are sent and then allow access to all purchasers on the account. Purchasers can then access their relevant invoices from the group email box.
