Guide · Requesting
How to ask suppliers for invoices without chasing.
The best request is specific, short, and easy to answer. Follow-up comes later, with a clear cadence.
Open with context
Mention company, transaction, and date. Avoid generic messages.
Make submission easy
A secure link or clear instructions reduce friction.
Define reminders upfront
Day 3, day 7, and day 14 are enough for many workflows.
