Notifying Clients when they are sent a Credit Request

If the Client has a valid email address, they will be notified via the ‘Payment Request’ Email Definition. If you have ‘Client login’ enabled under System > Settings > Company Details > Branch Details then your Clients will be able to log into their Client dashboard and view their Credit Requests from there — see here for more on Branch Details.

Before raising a Credit Request, you can specify which users should be notified, using the options provided within the Raise Confirmed Credit Requests panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I avoid confusing my Clients with multiple payment requests when I raise Credit Requests and then Invoices subsequently?

In this case, you can deselect Clients from being notified of payment requests when confirming Invoices. Go to Accounting > Draft Invoices and select Raise Confirmed Invoices. On the panel that appears there is a checkbox list of users who will be notified via email when the Invoice is raised - you can use the checkboxes to deselect some or all of these users. See here for more on Draft Invoices.

Selecting Clients to be notified.

How do I automatically mark Credit Requests as paid?

Go to System > Settings > Accounting > General and tick Automatically mark Credit Requests paid. This pays Credit Requests automatically from a Client's existing balance credit and from new payments as they come in.

Note: This will affect the Credit Requests that your Clients receive.
