[How to] Automatically Send the Customer Invoices to Customer Email address

Ramit Paul Profile Picture Ramit Paul 22,300 Most Valuable Professional

Dear Microsoft BizApps Community,

Welcome to my next blog on sending sales invoices to the customer email directly from Dynamics 365 finance and operations

Business Scenario

Sales or billing team wants to send the invoices to the customer email address automatically after they have issued invoices to customer

Benefit of this scenario

Customer will get invoice generated from D365 in real time basis as and when the invoice is posted

 

Configurations

Navigate to Accounts receivable->> Setup->> Form Setup->> Select print management from General tab->>

Select Customer invoice or Free Text invoice as per the requirement (for this demo, we shall use Free Text Invoice)

Select “Original <default>” field

Select “Destination” field ->> Printer Setup

A new window till open as “print destination settings”

Select “Email” from the tabs->> Click on "Edit" from To option

  • Select "Customer Purpose" to Business 
  • Make the Customer primary contact "No", if you want to send invoice to multiple emails for same customer including primary and non primary
  • Make the Customer primary contact "Yes", if you want to send invoice only to customer primary address only

Click ok

Now Add the Subject Line, ad the name as "Sales Invoice from XYZ company" 

 Select the File format from the list, we have kept as PDF

The configurations are done.

Processing Free Text Invoice 

I have added the Email contacts for this customer to test, expectation is, after issuing Dynamics must send the invoice with PDF to customer

Create and prepare to post the invoice ->>  Enable Print invoice to Yes->> Enable "Use print management destination->> Post the invoice

After the successful  generation of invoice- system should auto populate the message that, invoice was sent to customer email address

    Hi Ramit, This post was extremly helpful. Is there a way we can add text to the body of the email. As we only have a parameter for the subject. I tried adding values to Form Notes, and Footer text but the email gets sent with empty body. Last question is the email alias. Is there a way to set the email alies as noreply@xxxx instead of displaying the username email? Thanks.

    I believe the standard only send the email to the Invoice account emails, however i would also like to email the invoice to the customer account (order account) email address. Is this possible?

    Hi Judith, Yes, this is possible, you may select save to print archive while you are saving the print destination setup.

    Is it possible for both Archive an invoice PDF and email it? When we make changes to the invoice template the original invoice does not match the reprinted invoice if the templates changed. Thus, we want to save an original PDF as well as email it.
