What creates Invoices tasks

Invoices tasks track invoices that need attention. Overdue means the invoice passed its due date without being paid. Email Bounced means the invoice could not be delivered to the customer. Payment Failed means a payment attempt on the invoice did not go through. Print and Mail means a subscription set to "Create task to print and mail invoice to customer" generated an invoice that nobody has been emailed about: open the task, use Open Invoice to Print, post it to the customer, and mark the task complete.

You work each task by moving it through its statuses. An Invoices task can also move into a custom folder your business has added, and back to its original Invoices folder, using Move to Folder in Quick Actions — see Organize task categories and folders. The Invoices group appears if you have permission to view invoices.

Where to find it: Tasks page, the Invoices group in the left sidebar

Print several invoices together

1. Open Tasks → Invoices → Print and Mail.

2. Check the invoice numbers you want to print, or choose Select all. When more tasks are still loading, Select loaded selects only the invoices already loaded; scroll down to load more.

3. Click Print selected (N). Essential combines the selected invoices into one PDF, in the order shown, and opens your browser's print dialog. You can print up to 100 invoices at a time.

4. Mail the invoices, then mark their tasks complete. Printing does not change task statuses.

Changing the folder, status filters, search, or sort clears your selection. If a PDF cannot be prepared, Essential tells you how many were skipped; check the printout before mailing.
