Free Receivables users have the ability to send invoices to customers, which helps to receive payment more quickly. Customers can be entered in the Bill.com account. Invoices can then be created and emailed to them, even if they don't use Bill.com. Customers who do use Bill.com will receive invoices directly in their Bill.com account.

Creating and sending eInvoices

1. Log into the free Bill.com account and click "New" under "Invoices".
2. On the New Invoice page, enter details such as:
• Customer - the company or person being billed. If the customer a Bill.com user, the invoice will automatically become an eInvoice, sent directly to their Bill.com account. If not, they will receive it as a PDF attachment to an email.
• Invoice Number - any numbers or letters to help identify the invoice later
• Invoice Date - the day the invoice is created (not the day the invoice is sent)
• Payment Terms - how soon payment is expected
• Due Date - specific day payment is expected (filled automatically if Payment Terms is selected)
• Invoice Template - the look-and-feel of the invoice
• Item - details about the product or service for invoicing (to apply a discount, refund, or rebate, enter a negative value or percentage for Price)
• Customer Message - any extra details to help the customer understand and pay the invoice (appears above the line items on the invoice)
• Send Via - Email the invoice now or later (customize the message after clicking Save), or uncheck the Email box if entering the invoice for record purposes only.
• Email Now - The invoice will be sent immediately.
