Understanding the Collections report
Add Notes or Tasks for follow up
On the right hand side, you are able to add notes or tasks for team members to each specific invoice. Any tasks or notes entered here on the Collections report will show up on the individual invoice as well.
Export the report
You can export the entire report to CSV or PDFs for record keeping or if you prefer to process manually.
Email one specific invoice
Maybe you've got a customer with 6 invoices but only one is past due.
If you have only one invoice you want to email a customer, use the Email button on the right hand side.
Print statements for mailing in envelopes
If you prefer to physically mail statements to your customers, just click the PDF icon beside the customer you'd like to print the statement for.
