Customer Invoice Email app
The Customer Invoice Email App enables an organization to effectively manage the customer invoicing process with email.
Overview
In standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, to get an invoice to a customer, a user must manually print the customer invoice, save the invoice to their PC, find the saved file, and then share it via email to the customer, which is a time-consuming and tedious task. With the Customer Invoice Email app all of this is done with one click.
