Notification - Alert when e-invoice fails
Very very occasionally, sending an e-invoice will fail. When this happens, currently the only way to find out is to follow up with the client about their unpaid invoice, find out they never received it, go into the individual invoice and look at the history. An alert would be very useful.

This invoice would have been paid over a week ago, if it had gone through. An alert would have meant I could follow up immediately, instead of finding out after EOFY when it has (minor, in the grand scheme of things) consequences for both my client and the entity that they are invoicing.

As a side note, last week I sent some invoices by e-invoicing. I checked that days' entire batch of invoices when one I sent to a different client had not arrived within a couple of hours, and all of them showed "failed to send" in the history for each individual invoice. So I sent each and every one of the failed invoices by email, because that's the only way they'll arrive, right?
Came into work this morning and found that the e-invoices showing as failed sent themselves after I'd logged off at COB, because they've arrived in the accounts of the other client to whom I'd sent them (original attempt between 1:30pm and 2:30pm, arrived at 5:30pm). And now there's duplicate invoices in their accounts and the invoices in the sender's accounts still show 'failed sending' in the history.

... And by very occasionally, I mean every single invoice I've tried to send today. I would like to get paid, which means I need to send invoices... successfully
