Creating and sending invoices
Invoices can be emailed to customers manually, as part of the on-screen batch process, or using Automation.
By default invoices are sent to the email address in the invoice address details on the order.
The value that populates this field depends on settings, but can always be overridden manually, either on the order or when manually emailing a single invoice.

Default email addresses
Invoices will always be emailed to the email address in the invoice address section of the order.
The 'Email addresses' section under Settings > Sales > Sales settings governs which email address will populate that field.
| Accounts |
Use the accounts email address as specified on the contact's 'financial' tab:
If there's no accounts email address, the field will be left empty on the order. |
| Main | Use the contact's main email address. |
| Accounts, or main if missing | Use the accounts email address as specified on the contact's 'financial' tab. If there is none, use the contact's main email address instead. |
Note that a contact may be part of an organization, in which case the organization will have an accounts email address which will be used for all contacts in that company.
