Attaching Supplemental Documents

You can attach invoice level supplemental documents in two different ways:

  • Attaching individual supplemental documents – For a single invoice, manually select invoice level supplemental documents and attach them to a communication, such as a reminder.

  • Attaching multiple supplemental documents – For multiple invoices, all the supplemental documents (with the Available in Workflows check box checked) from all the selected invoices are automatically attached to the reminder. Regardless of whether these invoices belong to one or more customers, each customer will receive a reminder containing only those supplemental documents that are linked to the specific invoices in his reminder, i.e. customers receive only information related to their invoices.

Attaching Individual Supplemental Documents

Once you have uploaded your invoice level supplemental documents, you can easily select and attach these documents to your communications that are sent to customers.
For a single invoice (selected for example on the Invoice page), you can choose and attach any invoice level supplemental document.

To attach a document, go to Attach Files | Supplemental documents | Invoice level and then select a document. By clicking on a document's name, you can attach a new document (indicated by a tick) or remove an already attached document (indicated by a cross). In addition, you can also use the Search functionality to quickly find a specific document.

The invoice level supplemental documents can be attached to:

Email Reminders (manual)

You can attach supplemental documents on all pages where you can send email reminders, for example:

  • Invoices
  • Statement page
  • Disputes
  • Tasks
  • Communications


Send Mail (manual)
When configuring the sending of physical mail reminders manually, only PDF files can be selected.
You can attach supplemental documents on all pages where you can send mail, for example:

  • Aging Report
  • Statement page
  • Invoices


Rules

If you check the Available in Workflows check box when uploading or editing invoice level supplemental documents, you can automatically include these documents that are already attached to an invoice in mail and email remainders. You can do so on all the pages where you can add rules for the Send mail and Send an email reminder Action types, for example:

  • Collection Workflows (including Rules and Timelines)
  • Global Rules

For this purpose, the Add new rule dialog contains the Attach Supplemental Document(s) of the invoice that triggered the action check box (available if you check Attach PDF of the open invoice that triggered the action) and also Include Invoice Supplemental Document(s) (available if you check Attach open invoice PDF(s) and at least one of the related options).

Delete

Caution

If you check Attach Supplemental Document(s) of the invoice that triggered the action or Include Invoice Supplemental Document(s), only the documents for which you checked the Available in Workflows check box when uploading or editing them will be attached to the reminder.

If you check both Attach Supplemental Document(s) of the invoice that triggered the action and Include Invoice Supplemental Document(s) check boxes, then it might happen that the same invoice level supplemental document will be attached to the reminder twice. This happens when the invoice that triggered the action corresponds to the ticked bucket form Attach open invoice PDF(s).

If some invoice PDFs are excluded from the bucket, then the related supplemental documents are excluded as well.

For mail reminders (i.e. Send mail Action), only PDF documents will be attached.

A maximum of 400 invoice level supplemental documents can be attached.


Attaching Multiple Supplemental Documents

For multiple invoices, YayPay automatically attaches all the previously uploaded invoice level supplemental documents to a communication, e.g. reminders. Each customer, regardless of whether they have one or more invoices, receives a reminder that includes only the supplemental documents linked to their specific invoices. In other words, customers receive only information related to their invoices.
To attach invoice level supplemental documents to email and mail reminders:

  1. Go to Settings | Security Groups and check the Manage Customer/Invoice Supplemental Documents check box for your role.

  2. Go to any page from which you can send mail or email reminders:
    • Email Reminders (manual)

      You can attach supplemental documents on all pages where you can send email reminders, for example:
      • Statement

      • Invoices

      • Disputes

      • Tasks

    • Send Mail (manual)

      When configuring sending of physical mail reminders manually, only PDF files can be selected.

      You can attach supplemental documents on all pages where you can send mail, for example:
      • Statement 

      • Invoices

  3. Select invoices for which you want to send the email or mail reminders and click on the Send Reminder icon.

  4. This opens the Send Invoice Email dialog where you can specify the reminder's options including attachments.

    To attach all the selected invoices' supplemental documents:
    1. Click on Attach Files.

    2. Click on Invoice level.

    3. This attaches all the selected invoices' supplemental documents for which you checked the Available in Workflows check box when uploading/ editing them.

    4. The invoice level supplemental documents are attached as a group. By clicking on the cross icon, you can remove the whole group, i.e. all the invoice level supplemental documents at once, it is not possible to remove individual documents.

  5. Click Send to send the reminders.

    As a result, each customer will receive a reminder containing only those supplemental documents that are linked to the specific invoices in his reminder, i.e. all the documents with the Available in Workflows check box checked that are available for the given invoice.
