Suppliers may choose to enable manual invoicing for your store to save on processing fees and give you the lowest possible price. Typically suppliers will reserve this option for high volume retailers with whom a relationship has been established for a while.
If manual invoices are enabled by your Supplier, Crowdship will not charge your card at time of purchase. The order will still be submitted to the supplier.
To send a retailer a batch invoice, a supplier will need to:
Go to the Crowdship Supply Accounting module
Select the orders they want to include in a batch invoice
Click "Confirm".
Crowdship will automatically send you a PDF and CSV copy of the itemized invoice via email. You can also download these documents from the Crowdship accounting module.
Once you've remitted payment for a manual invoice, you can open the invoice in Accounting -> Open Invoices, and click "Mark as Paid".
This will notify the supplier that they can expect your payment. Once they confirm that your payment has been received, the invoice will move from the Unpaid Invoices tab to Payment History tab.
