Steps: Print and Email Customer Invoices

Workday enables you to print customer invoices as PDF files and then email them to the customers or use standard mail for paper invoices. You can also create a schedule to automate the print and email process as a recurring job. Workday only prints invoices that are part of a given customer security segment. When you email customer invoices, Workday uses the settings in the
Custom Business Process Notification
category in the Business Process Notification type on the
Edit Tenant Setup - Notifications
task. See Reference: Edit Tenant Setup - Notifications.
  1. (Optional) Create a custom form for the print layout with customized printing report, company logo, or messages before printing the customer invoice document.
  2. Access the
    Edit Customer Invoice Layout Rule
    task.
    Specify the printed filename options, and create rules to map the business form layouts to invoice types for the desired company.
    To exclude the automatic prefix in the printed filename, select the
    Remove Adjustment Prefix
    check box.
    Security:
    • Set Up: Customer Accounts
      domain in the Customer Accounts functional area.
    • Set Up: Sponsor Accounts
      domain in the Grants Management functional area.
  3. Access the
    Print Customer Invoices
    task.
    • You can only view the 20,000 most recent invoices, but you can filter the list on company, status, and other criteria.
    • Select the
      Group Invoices
      check box to group invoices into a single PDF file. Workday only includes invoices with a regular mail delivery method or with an undefined delivery type.
    • Select the
      Include Attachments for Grouped Invoices
      check box to include invoice attachments in the single grouped PDF file. Workday only includes invoices defined for standard delivery. When the grouped invoice PDF file exceeds the 500 MB limit, Workday splits it into multiple PDF files. When a single customer invoice includes attachments exceeding the 500 MB limit, Workday doesn't include that invoice in the printed PDF.
    • Select the invoices that you want to print in the
      Customer Invoices Eligible for Email
      tab. After Workday generates the PDF files, click
      Email Customer Invoice
      to send selected invoices to customers. You can print or email up to 10,000 customer invoices at a time.
    Security:
    Reports: Customer Documents
    domain in the Customer Accounts functional area
Workday prints the invoices and emails them to the selected customers.
