2. Statement Page - Pipeline View

There are 2 views that you can choose from using the buttons on the left of the pipeline bar.  

View #1 - This pipeline view displays the spread/state of the Invoices for the Customer 

Current - displays the total amount of current Receivables aggregated from the # of Open Invoices that are Current (i.e. not past due, not in Dispute, without a Promise to Pay / Promissory Note, or if it is partially paid)

Overdue - displays the total amount of Open Invoices that are past the Invoice Due Date

When payments are made through YayPay, the Invoice status changes to Pending while the external funding / bank transfer process completes and the payment is also registered/applied to the invoice in the ERP. The Pending status in YayPay also prevents the same Invoice from being paid again by accident

View #2 - This pipeline view represents aggregated Amounts across Current and Overdue Invoices - the Aging brackets indicate the Aging of the Invoices for the Customer:

3. Statement Page - Invoices and AR data

Important

If you select multiple invoices to be sent in an email reminder and there are no dynamic tags‍ in the email body or subject, YayPay will send all the selected invoices in a single email. However, if there are dynamic tags present in the email body or subject, the following applies:

  • If there is an invoice dynamic tag like {Disputed Amount}, a separate email is sent for each selected invoice.
  • If there is a customer dynamic tag like {StatementBalance}, one email is sent with all the invoices attached.  
  • An {InvoiceBillingContactStatementLink} dynamic tag is available only for a selected single Invoice Billing Contact.

Invoice Delivery

Invoice delivery - an additional option while sending a reminder, differentiates Invoice Delivery from any other communications to the customer and is marked with a special icon on the Communications Page and in the Activity tab of a Customer Statement (in an email preview popup). If enabled, the original invoice is sent to a customer (any adjustments and corrections are not considered in this case).

For manual reminders (from Statement only) it can be enabled instantly if: the invoice is sent for the very first time, the automated reminder with the invoice failed to be sent, Invoice Delivery is not preset in an Invoice Rule in the Workflow assigned to the customer.

 

For automated reminders, it can be preset with the Event "Invoice is created". The checkbox "Invoice delivery" becomes visible when "Attach PDF of the open invoice that triggered the action" is enabled.

 

The usage of the "Invoice delivery" functionality will be extended in future implementations.

When you add the {InvoiceBillingContactStatementLink} dynamic tag to your email reminders, it automatically become a clickable link when sent. This link will lead customers to a page where they can view and manage their open invoices:


You can use this invoice level dynamic tag when creating email templates, sending both automated email reminders (from Workflows) and manual email reminders, or you can include it in the Customer Open Invoices Table tag that can be inserted into an email template.

Using icons in the action bar above the grid, you can perform the following actions on unpaid invoices:

  • Pay
  • Partial Pay
  • Download invoice
  • Download attached documents

For details about the individual actions, see the Using Open Invoice Actions section.

In the top-right corner, you can also click Send Email to open the Send email dialog used for sending emails.

Additionally, you can filter the grid's content to see specific invoices only. Once you set up filtering, the total number of applied filters is indicated by the Filter icon with a number which is located in the top-right corner.
To clear all the filters, click on the Clear Filters icon located next to it.
