Updated August 22, 2026
Status definitions
- Draft: created but not sent.
- Sent: sent to the recipient and still awaiting payment.
- Partially Paid: one or more received payments exist, but a balance remains.
- Paid: received payments cover the invoice total.
- Overdue: the due date has passed while a balance remains.
- Cancelled: the invoice is no longer active for collection.
Send a reminder
- 1Open a Sent or Partially Paid invoice.
- 2Choose Send reminder and confirm the recipient and message.
- 3The reminder amount uses the current outstanding balance: invoice total minus received payments, never below zero.
- 4If the message is sent or queued successfully, the reminder window closes and the notification is recorded in history.
Tip:Record a payment before sending a reminder. The next reminder then reflects the remaining balance instead of the original invoice total.
