Sending forms in a batch

Instead of printing each form in the transaction window when you record it, you can select a delivery status option to print or email sales, purchases, and payment notifications later, in a batch.

To do this, select from the following options in these transaction windows.

■	Purchases—select either To be Emailed, To be Printed, or To be Printed and Emailed from the Bill Delivery Status field in the Purchases window.

■	Sales—select either To be Emailed, To be Printed, or To be Printed and Emailed from in the Invoice Delivery Status field in the Sales window.

■	Payment notifications—select either To be Emailed, To be Printed, or To be Printed and Emailed from the Payment Notification Delivery Status field in the Spend Money, Settle Returns & Credits, or Pay Bills windows.

After you have completed a number of transactions, say, the day’s invoices, you can print or email a transaction batch.If you selected the To be Printed and Emailed delivery status, you need to complete both procedures.
