Overview
The Automated Email Billing job allows you to schedule an unattended background program to execute an automatic process for sending email Billings to your customers. This automated job will select Billings that meet the following criteria:
- Posted with a Billing Date that is less than or equal to today’s date
- PDF Email Status is set to “Unsent”
- Automated Email Delivery drop-down list on the selected PDF Format is set to Balance Due or Zero Balance and the balance is equal to zero.
The Automated Email Billing job can be scheduled to run after business hours, overnight, or at any desired time. This unattended background job provides for a more efficient way to process Email Billings for sending to customers. In addition, depending upon the time the Automated Email Billing job is scheduled to run, it might help to minimize the utilization of system resources during business hours.
Note: If you have the Accounting Seed extension package for Avalara VAT (Valued-added Tax) Reporting installed, the Automated Email Billing job is not functional. This feature will be available for VAT Reporting users in a future release. In the interim, Billings can be emailed directly from the Billings screen using the detail or list view.
