About This Automation

Invoicing after shipment requires matching delivery quantities to purchase orders, applying contract pricing, and routing drafts for approval before a bill ever reaches the customer.

An automated version matches shipment data to purchase orders, drafts the invoice with correct pricing, and routes it for a quick approval decision. Once approved, it sends the invoice, logs its status, and follows up automatically if the customer has not acknowledged receipt.

Key features
Match delivery note quantities against purchase order line items automatically
Apply contract pricing, volume discounts, and promotional terms without manual lookup
Draft the invoice directly in the accounting system with all line items populated
Route drafts for a single approve or reject decision instead of an open-ended inbox review
Send approved invoices to customers and log status in one connected step
Flag unacknowledged invoices and trigger a follow-up message without manual checking

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Shipment Marked Completetrigger

An order status change to complete starts the invoicing workflow automatically.

2. Match Delivery To Purchase Order

The Invoice Matching cross-checks delivered quantities against the purchase order and applies contract pricing.

3. Draft Invoice

A draft invoice is created automatically with the matched line items and pricing.

4. Send Approval Request

The AR manager gets a message with the draft invoice and a one-click approve or reject option.

5. Manager Edits Invoice

If rejected, the manager corrects the specific line item directly and resubmits for send.

6. Send Invoice

Once approved, the invoice PDF is emailed to the customer's billing contact immediately.

7. Log Invoice

Invoice number, amount, and send date are written to the tracking sheet without manual entry.

8. Follow Up Sends Payment Reminder

The automation monitors due dates and sends a reminder email if an invoice goes unacknowledged.
