About This Automation

Invoicing and receivables covers everything from matching a shipment to its purchase order through collecting and reconciling payment. Doing this by hand across spreadsheets and email creates delays, mismatched line items, and missed follow-up on overdue accounts.

An automated version matches shipments to orders, drafts and sends invoices, and tracks every due date until payment lands. It reconciles incoming payments automatically and flags overdue accounts before they become a credit risk.

Key features
Match confirmed shipments to purchase orders automatically before an invoice is created
Generate and send invoices with packing slips attached, without manual data entry
Track every open invoice against its due date and escalate reminders automatically
Reconcile incoming payments against invoices, including partial payments
Flag overdue accounts and update credit hold status based on payment history
Keep a shared receivables record updated in real time without manual copying

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Shipment Confirmedtrigger

The moment an order is marked fulfilled, the workflow pulls the shipment record.

2. Invoice Drafting Builds The Invoice

Matches the shipment to the original purchase order and assembles line items, pricing, and terms.

3. Send Invoice

The invoice and packing slip are emailed to the customer's AP contact automatically.

4. Update AR Aging Tracker

Invoice number, amount, and due date are logged for real time aging visibility.

5. Reminder Sends Escalating Reminders

For invoices not paid by the due date, a reminder sequence goes out with increasing urgency.

6. Record Payment And Reconcile

Incoming payments are matched to the open invoice and reconciled automatically.

7. AR Manager Reviews And Updates Credit Hold

Accounts still unpaid 30+ days past due are routed to the AR manager to approve a credit hold change.
