The Orders form includes an Invoice Messages sub-tab on the Comments Messages tab. You can use this tab to add a message to the customer as needed. This message can be included on the printed invoice or email message sent to the customer.

Info

The Messages tab is labeled Comments in Aptify 5.5.

 

 

In general, an administrator creates a set of standard invoice messages, and you can select the messages that are applicable to an order. Also, depending on the security model of your organization, you may have the ability to enter any text on the Invoice Messages tab.

Follow these steps to add an invoice message to an order:

  1. Click the Invoice Messages sub-tab, found on the Orders record's Comments tab.
  2. Select a message to add to the order from the drop-down list.

    • Click Clear Line to delete the last line from the invoice message area.
    • Click Clear All to delete all of the text from the invoice message area.
    • If you have the appropriate permission level, you can add more text or edit existing text in the invoice message area.
    • Note that the background color of the invoice message area is white for users who can add and edit text. The background color is gray for users who can only add and clear existing invoice messages (as shown in the figure below).
