    I thought this was such a great feature but found out it sent an invoice that wasn’t supposed to be sent yet! (We do a lot of big jobs so I do the invoices as the work comes in so I have a lot of progressive invoices) But I found out today it sent an unfinished invoice to a customer as payment was due today. I think it would be great if the reminders weren’t sent out on invoices that hadn’t been manually sent yet. I would love to be able to use this feature again. I’m not sure if there’s something I’ve missed that stops this or not?

    Hi @sceulen

    I've split your post off just so I can get a little bit more info on this. You've mentioned the invoice was unfinished and not sent, I'm assuming the due date for the invoice was set while you were progressively still working on it, is that correct?

    When the time comes to send the invoice, do you extend the due date or is it due on send?

    Yes that’s correct. When I send an invoice I do change the due date as we have 7 day payment terms.

    Right ok thanks for confirming.

    If you're frequently creating invoices this way, then I'd suggest selectively switching off reminders just for that invoice(s) from the invoice list.

    Turn off Invoice Remunders for invoice.gif

    There's more detailed info on this here.

    Once you've finished the invoice, set the new due date and sent it you can then enable reminders on those invoices by turning them back on for the specific invoice(s).
