-
You may need to go through Two-Factor Authentication to complete some of these steps based on your inbox security setup.
-
-

-
Go back to Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
-
Make sure to select Forward a copy of incoming mail to invoices+StoreName@vori.com and keep Gmail's copy in the inbox.
-

Handle Historical and Duplicate Invoices
Historical Invoices
Creating this filter will only affect future invoices; historical emails will not be forwarded.
-
Retailers will need to manually forward historical emailed invoices for cost change processing.
Duplicate Invoices
If you upload the same invoice (e.g., from both an email and a scanned upload), the system will not recognize it and will not delete it.
-
You can easily delete the duplicate by selecting the three dots next to the invoice and choosing delete.
