Hey community, we get the vying interest in this and how having a copy of the invoice sent within Xero would help when following up with debtors, or in disputes.
As many of you have pointed out, the best option that exists within Xero for now is to use the 'send me a copy' checkbox. This gives you a solid record in your own email inbox to fall back on. While it takes a little setting up you could create a filter in your email inbox to route these to a specific folder for reference.
Another smart tip as shared here could be setting up a dedicated email address to file these automatically, and keep things organised.
Though not a solve for the body of the email that's being asked here, a change that we recently made for invoices is that all sent invoices will include the primary To: email address…

Hi everybody, coming across from the previous forums we know this idea has a lot of interest.
There is a way of using Xero's reports to accomplish what you're asking here and save the format so you can easily access and send this report to your customers outside of Xero.
Running the Aged Receivables detail report you can choose how many ageing periods you'd like to show and set the period to '30 days'. Simply Filter the report by Contact and Update to run.
- Once you've got it set up, save as Custom so you can easily access this format anytime
- If you deal with groups of contacts this also means you could Filter for multiple contacts to combine the view into one report rather than multiple customer statements 🙂
- Export the report to PDF, where you can send to customers from your email system outside of Xero
We appreciate…

I totally agree with this option being critical and added to statements. We have found that our Clients like to be able to pay by period and we have even had some Clients who say that they use the period analysis at the foot of our current statements, from another system, to ensure that they are not getting behind as it shows straight away if they have any that are say over 60 days late.
This is a critical requirement. We need to have a record of all emails sent to our Clients and we used to be able to at least view them in the XERO record.
As these emails are sent to provide a customer with an invoice of to perform debt collection activities, we need to have them as proof. Although there is the option to send a copy of the email to the senders email box, that is simply adding more time consuming work for us, not to mention clogging up email boxes!
