A collection note may be used as proof that a customer has paid for their item(s) and is therefore ready to collect them.

It provides:

  • Details about the items purchased

  • The auction in which they appeared

  • The reference for the invoice that has been paid

Collection notes do not display:

  • Amounts paid

  • Bank details

  • Totals for the invoice


To Send a Single Collection Note

⚠️ Please Note:

A collection note can only be sent once an invoice is fully paid. The "Send Collection Note" button will only appear in the Actions column after full payment.

Steps:

  1. Find the invoice

  2. In the Actions column, click Send Collection Note

  3. Click Confirm in the pop-up

  4. Your collection note has been sent.


To Send Multiple Collection Notes

  1. Find the list of invoices

  2. Tick the checkboxes next to the fully paid invoices. You can use the yellow Modify Filter button here to make it easier.

  3. Click the Send Collection Note button at the top

  4. Confirm the action in the pop-up

  5. Collection notes have now been sent

⚠️ Please Note:

Even if unpaid invoices are selected, only fully paid invoices will receive a collection note.


Making Changes After Sending a Collection Note

If you edit an invoice after sending a collection note:

  • A new version of the invoice will be generated

  • You’ll see a record of previous versions

  • Any changes must be resent to the buyer, and a new collection note must be sent

Where to find this info:

  • In the Invoice List, preview which versions were sent

  • Click the blue History button for detailed version tracking
