Update your billing address now to ensure invoices reach the correct mailbox. While you adjust settings, confirm that the change propagates to all connected systems that track transactions and document flows. Look for the pictogram in the top bar and open the Billing section to begin.

Step 1: Collect the exact new address, company name, tax ID if needed, and any secondary billing addresses (used for redirection). Prepare a short note to accompany the changes so colleagues and vendors understand the update requests.

Step 2: In your primary billing portal, change the address. If your system spans multiple products, update the field in each product area. Use the profile pictogram or Billing tab; if you use Microsoft or other platforms, repeat the update there so the address is consistent across payments and records.

Step 3: Propagate and linking across tools. Check that the new address is linked to document repositories such as netdocuments and e-signers like lexsign. Update any address fields in collections workflows and in your CRM so the reach of invoices remains coherent with client records.

Step 4: Validate by generating a test invoice. Review the example to confirm the address appears on the header and the billing contact. If you have paid invoices already in the queue, verify that those records now show the updated address; log any issues in a central tracker and route them through your communicator to ensure timely resolution. For multiple departments, assign owners and set a target completion time.

Step 5: Notify stakeholders and update external templates. Send a brief notice to clients and vendors via email or your system’s messaging tool. Update the languageduration fields for notifications to ensure alerts match the new address. Keep evergreen reminders to review the address every year so it stays current.

Verify the current billing address on your latest invoice

Open the latest invoice in your account or retrieve it electronically, then compare the billing address block to your records. This quick check is a kind of prevention against misdirected bills and helps ensure that the bill goes to the right recipient. Keep notes of any discrepancy for reference and document the change for your file.

  • Find the latest invoice: access the billing portal, select Invoices, then open the most recent bill. Note the invoice number and date for reference.
  • Locate the Billing address section on the invoice. Confirm that street, city, state, ZIP, and country are correct and not truncated. If the address does not reflect your current location, update it in the steps below.
  • If you can edit directly, click edit next to the address, update the fields, and then save. If you need to adjust the profile, do so in Preferences and set the new address as default for future invoices.
  • Then regenerate the invoice or view it again to confirm the changes propagate to the document. If the system does not allow direct edits, use the setup flow to ensure the change applies to subsequent invoices; otherwise contact assistance.
  • Check for effects on the bill: any adjustments or notes related to the address, deposit notes, or legal disclosures. Verify amounts and lines; if the changes are minor, the functions of the billing system will apply automatically, otherwise request assistance.
  • Save or export a copy of the updated invoice and store it in your records. Before moving on, delete any duplicates to keep the reference clean and evergreen for future audits. This helps times when you need to show proof of address.
  • Review who can edit addresses: if multiple users access the portal, confirm the permissions and ensure updates are tracked in the activity log. Enable automatic address updates in Preferences if supported, making this a reliable evergreen setup.

For ongoing accuracy, reference the source of the address in your CRM to prevent mismatches. If you need help, contact assistance with your invoice number; we can help you through the steps and answer any questions. Processing changes may take a few days, so monitor the next bill to confirm the new address is used on all future bills.

Collect exact address details: street, city, state, postal/ZIP, country, and tax IDs

Collect exact address details before generating the bill. Capture street, city, state, postal/ZIP, country, and tax IDs in a single record. Keep the verified details on your clipboard and attach a concise summary to the client file.

Stap 1: Confirm street address during a quick video call or via an online form, then copy the final line into the record. Use the icon next to the entry to indicate verification.

Stap 2: Gather city, state or province, postal/ZIP code, and country; align them with official documents. For tax IDs, note the country‑specific numbers (VAT ID, EIN, TIN) and the issuing authority; include them in the statement and reports where billing appears.

Step 3: Apply templates to format the address consistently. Store the final version in your record; if you work with a retainer, attach it to the client file and mark non-billable fields as needed.

Step 4: Update the billing system: copy the full address into the “bill to” field, verify spelling, and save. Generate a short summary for the statement and keep a copy in your adobes templates or microsoft forms workflow. Use a timer to remind you of updates in the next review cycle.

Step 5: Ask the client to verify online and confirm tax IDs are active for the jurisdiction. If something isn’t correct, update the details and reissue the bill with the corrected address; show the changes in the records and reports.

Help tip: Break the task into levels of detail: basic street and city, then state and postal/ZIP, then tax IDs, and check each level against the client file for accuracy.

Determine where to update: customer profile, billing settings, or invoice template

Update the customer profile first to lock in the correct address and contact details, ensuring invoices reach the right person and daily charges align with the ledger.

For a quick visual, you can check a short YouTube walkthrough, but this method covers steps you can act on now. Use the details below to avoid errors and keep the trust of your clients high.

Where to update and what to change

Where to update and what to change

  1. Customer profile
    • Update fields: contact name, street address, city, postal code, country, phone, and email to ensure the record matches on every statement and report.
    • Set preferences for how you receive alerts and how invoices are delivered (email, text, or both).
    • If you update on behalf of a company, add a note in comments and confirm authorization to act on behalf.
    • Save changes and verify the record appears in the ledger and in the daily file of transactions.
  2. Billing settings
    • Define default currency and tax codes; verify that prices reflect the correct regional rates.
    • Choose a payment method and activate it; set terms (date or Net terms) and reminders to reduce late payments.
    • Adjust timezone and date format to ensure date fields align in all statements and reports.
    • Review security: ensure phone verification codes and access controls protect billing data.
  3. Invoice template
    • Update header and address blocks to mirror the profile data; ensure the logo, plan name, and contact details display correctly.
    • Include essential fields: invoice date, due date, number, items with prices, taxes, totals, and references you want in statements and the report.
    • Add notes for on-behalf payments and link related expenses or plan details; keep comments concise for clarity.
    • Preview a test invoice and a sample daily ledger entry; confirm that the transactions appear accurately in statements and that the date aligns with covid-era compliance date if relevant.

After each area, activate changes in the system and run a final check to confirm the record, file, and report reflect the updated data. This approach minimizes errors, adds convenience for clients, and strengthens trust.

Update the address in your invoicing platform: step-by-step

Open your invoicing platform and, by accessing Settings > Company profile, update the address used on all invoices and prebill runs. Save changes and run a quick test to confirm the new location appears on a sample billed invoice. This change prevents misdirected payments and supports clean collections tracking.

Update client records for existing profiles: edit the address in each contact card and delete obsolete entries from the address book to avoid allocation errors. Dont rely on memory–verify against intake forms for new clients and ensure the address is attached to the profile with professionalism.

If you prefer a visual guide, watch a quick youtube video and follow along. Always keep a backup note for reference, and use the option to compare the old and new addresses to avoid mismatches.

Step-by-step actions

1) Accessing the address fields: navigate to Settings > Invoicing > Addresses. Enter the new billing address, plus any required remit-to lines, and save. If you handle deposit accounts, update the deposit address as well to keep billing aligned with accounting. Then review the preview to confirm the change is reflected on the next bill. If you encounter any mismatch, pause and verify with the client data.

2) Enable automatic updates: switch on automatic address sync for future invoices and recurring bills. Check that the prebill run uses the updated address. Disconnect any legacy integrations if they pull the old data, and re-link the accounts to avoid misrouting.

3) Validate and track: issue a test bill, verify the billed address, and confirm that the allocation of payments matches the new location. Use the activity log for tracking changes and confirm the messages to the client about the update.

4) Communicate and share: send quick internal messages to the finance team and share a summary with collections and operations. Leave notes in the client record to document the change and keep the history accessible for future audits. This helps keep payments, deposits, and allocations transparent.

Check open invoices and upcoming charges for consistency after the change

Check open invoices and upcoming charges for consistency after the change

Immediately verify that the updated billing address is reflected on open invoices and upcoming charges. Pull the latest invoice list from your accounting system and reference the file stored in netdocuments to confirm the change aligns with the customer record. Confirm the address, taxes, and line items across records. If you use emails to notify customers, send a brief confirmation here and request acknowledgment. For operations in Sweden and other regions, align with local guidelines and tax rules to maintain accuracy. Track findings with a standard forms template and attach the result to the case file. Keep an auditable trail through your reporting and cookies-enabled portal activity.

Verification checklist

Review at the item level: Invoice ID, Status, Open Amount, Next Charge Date, Address on Invoice, and Tax Category. Use the link to open the official policy and confirm that the new address appears for both open invoices and upcoming charges. If any discrepancy is found, mark it as a problem, log a case in the system (report), and, if needed, cancel or adjust the invoice via automatic update in your ERP. After updates, run the report again to confirm accuracy.

Als er hiaten ontstaan, gebruik dan de ondersteuningslink om contact op te nemen, een case te loggen en de beschikbare opties uit de categorieën te bekijken. Na de behandeling deelt u het rapport met de belanghebbenden en stelt u een herinnering in om de belastingen en nauwkeurigheid in de volgende cyclus opnieuw te controleren. Het proces ondersteunt een duidelijke historie en helpt u het bedrijfsbestand afgestemd te houden op het mygs1-record.

Test door een voorbeeld factuur te genereren om de correcte weergave en het afdrukken te bevestigen

Genereer een voorbeeldfactuur met behulp van de knop Nieuwe factuur in het menu en doorloop de stapsgewijze workflow om de correcte weergave en afdruk te bevestigen. Gebruik een referentie INV-TEST-001 en een testklantvermelding om echte gegevens te spiegelen. Zorg ervoor dat de bedrijfsnaam, het logo en het adresblok duidelijk worden weergegeven op het scherm en op de afdruk, en controleer of de gegevensinhoud consistent is in alle weergaven.

Genereer en controleer de voorbeeld factuur

Stap 1: selecteer in het menu Facturen en klik op de knop Nieuwe factuur om te beginnen. Stap 2: kies een niveau dat overeenkomt met uw testscenario en voeg vervolgens meerdere regelitems toe aan collecties om te zien hoe itemgroepen uitlijnen. Stap 3: vul het referentieveld in met INV-TEST-001 en voeg een herkenbaar logo voor het bedrijf toe. Stap 4: controleer of de klantgegevens, het adresblok en de datums zonder afbreking worden weergegeven. Stap 5: klik op Exporteren naar PDF en bekijk het document voordat u het afdrukt; gebruik ongedaan maken als een veld verkeerd werkt. Stap 6: sla het gegenereerde document op in storage24 voor archiefreferentie en toekomstige vergelijkingen. Stap 7: stel een timer in om de afdrukduur te meten en bevestig dat de uitvoer de juiste totalen en btw-regels bevat. Stap 8: test een onderbreking om ervoor te zorgen dat offline opslaan en ophalen werken zoals verwacht, en probeer vervolgens de PDF opnieuw te delen met teamleden om de toegangscontroles te valideren.

Validatie- en afdrukcontroles

Controleer het afdrukvoorbeeld op meerdere apparaten om te bevestigen dat marges, blokuitlijning en pagina-einden items of kopteksten niet afbreken. Controleer of het logo gecentreerd blijft en de bedrijfsnaam leesbaar blijft bij kleine formaten. Zorg ervoor dat het totaal, de belastingen en de kortingen dezelfde waarden weergeven als in de weergave, en dat de referentieregel zichtbaar is in de kop- of voettekst zoals geconfigureerd door de regels. Test de exportfunctie opnieuw om een schoon document te genereren dat u kunt delen via het menu of via e-mail; gebruik delen om te distribueren naar sprekers of andere belanghebbenden. Als er iets niet goed uitziet, gebruik dan de optie ongedaan maken en pas aan, en exporteer opnieuw. Deze workflow helpt u te verifiëren dat de wijziging van het factuuradres consistent wordt weergegeven in het document, zowel op het scherm als in de afgedrukte uitvoer.

Opmerkingen: bewaak het gedrag voor een vergelijkbare set zaken op meerdere apparaten, printers en omgevingen om ervoor te zorgen dat het proces betrouwbaar blijft onder verschillende omstandigheden.

Documenteer en communiceer de wijziging: registreer details en informeer belanghebbenden

Registreer de wijziging in het gecentraliseerde logboek en werk de adressen bij in de factuur-, CRM- en boekhoudmodules. Maak een vast referentie-ID, noteer oude en nieuwe adressen, de ingangsdatum en de verantwoordelijke gebruiker. Gebruik de Updateknop in de factureringsmodule om de wijziging toe te passen, en bevestig dat deze zich door het systeem verspreidt om dubbele records te voorkomen.

Verifiëren correctheid door facturen te bekijken in een sandbox en te controleren met de referentie documenten. Deze stap onderbreekt de live facturering niet en maakt het mogelijk de gebruiker om fouten te ontdekken voordat deze live gaan.

Zorg voor beveiliging via een firewall en stel besturingselementen in zodat alleen geautoriseerde gebruikers adressen kunnen bijwerken. Blokkeer ongeldige wijzigingen en creëer een audittrail voor verdediging en tracking.

Communiceer de wijziging aan stakeholders: informeer interne teams via de taaktracker en verzend elektronisch mededelingen aan klanten. Geef een beknopte samenvatting, de ingangsdatum en de gevolgen voor facturering en discounts. Deze communicatie helpt verzekering platen en andere adressen blijf op één lijn.

Stroomafwaartse processen bijwerken: het bijwerken van adressen in verschillende tools maakt dit mogelijk nauwkeurig facturering en tracking tussen afdelingen. Veranderingen kunnen van invloed zijn op de belastingafhandeling, verzekeringsfactuur-ID's of kortingen, dus controleer correctheid voordat je het afrondt. Zorg ervoor dat de wijziging vaste polisnummers niet verstoort en gebruik de setup workflow om de impact te monitoren en blokkades van betalingen te voorkomen.
