Prepare invoice draft

Add the invoice facts SHVL cannot know. Accepted customer, service and price details stay fixed.

Commercial source
Accepted proposal
Nothing is sent or recorded in accounting software.

SHVL does not infer VAT. Mixed rates, reverse charge and special schemes should stay in your accounting software.

Draft only. Review the sequence, legal identity, supply details, tax and payment instructions before issuing it.

Accepted proposal

Prepare Xero invoice draft

Review the exact draft. SHVL will not authorise, email, mark sent or record payment.

Import decisions

Choose the Decision CSV you exported above, open it in Excel, then fill in Review decision and any Reviewer note. SHVL updates case status, payment promises and notes only. It does not mark connected invoices paid or send reminders.

Use one of these decisions: Keep active, Pause chasing, Record promised payment or Mark disputed. Leave a row blank to skip it, or leave Reviewer note blank to keep the current case note.

Xero connection

Choose an organisation

Xero authorised more than one organisation. Choose the one this SHVL workspace should use.

Review client information

Check each response and supporting file. Returned items become a new checklist with your feedback. The original submission stays in this record.

Review before sending

Re-request unanswered items

Activation prepares the schedule. Each due reminder still waits for your exact review.

Activate reminders

Mailbox
Schedule
First action

Activation prepares the reminders but does not approve them. Each due message waits for your exact review. Payment, recipient, balance and mailbox checks run again before every delivery. Microsoft mailboxes are also checked for replies and bounces.

Send reminders automatically?

While reminders are on, SHVL will send each due reminder on its date without waiting for you. Before every send it still checks the balance, payments, the recipient and the mailbox, and stops for promises, disputes and blockers.

You can switch back or pause reminders at any time. Reminders already approved are not affected.

Customer activity

Missed payment promise

Record what the customer actually said. Until you do, this customer stays on the weekly plan.

A new promise holds reminders again until that date. Leave it empty if there is no new date.

Review payment blocker

Choose what is true now. SHVL derives whether the invoices are ready to chase or what must be fixed first.

Review a customer reply or payment promise

Check that this reply belongs to this customer. You can paste Gmail replies here. Saving retains this text as evidence of your decision.

Only enter a date the customer has promised. A payment promise holds chasing; an unresolved blocker must be resolved first.

Saved billing requirements

Keep the customer’s recurring submission rules here. Saving them does not contact the customer or change Xero.

Derived resultNot reviewed

Finish the unanswered checks before relying on this result.

A recorded blocker pauses the case and cancels queued reminders. Clearing it does not resume chasing or send anything. Add a link to existing evidence if useful. SHVL does not store documents here.

Save any changed blocker first. Review the recipient, wording and evidence before sending.

Review blocker request

Send this exact request from your connected mailbox, or download a draft for manual sending. The case stays paused. Gmail cannot track replies; paste any response into the case review.

Only scanned, reviewed documents from this workspace are listed. Check that the selected document belongs to this customer and is suitable to share.

Direct sends support one file up to 2 MB and use your monthly send allowance. Draft downloads support up to 5 MB. A send result means provider acceptance, not inbox delivery.
