How to Handle Email Delivery Failures
When the Maximum Attachment Size is Exceeded:
If email Invoice delivery fails due to the invoice pdf attachment exceeding the Max Size value or the invoice pdf plus other attachments exceeding the Max Size value, then:
The system user set in the Notify User field will be emailed to alert that user of the failure sending the email message
The invoice will be listed as delivered on the account
To deliver the invoice to the user manually:
Access the account containing the invoice
From the account, on the Overview menu select Billing and then Invoices
View and then download the invoice (see the account invoices screen help for instructions on how to view and download invoices)
Outside of the LogiSense billing system send an email to the account’s billing contact with the invoice pdf attached
