[solved]Customers ability to view their own invoices

[tcsmith62]

I would like customers to view their invoices on the website.
What I have tried so far:

Created user
-the only role that is checked is “customer”
-the only allowed modules are “website” and “selling”
Edited Role permissions manager for sales invoice
-added a row for role "customer to read and print

The customer and the user have the same email address, how else does the user login know to see customers invoices?

When I log into the website as the user and click “invoices” under my account…nothing shows

New erpnext user
Any help would be appreciated?

Also tried
Desk>click on the user
-there is a tab at the top, permissions>set user permissions I added the following:
-Allow “customer” for relevant customer name
-Allow “Sales invoice” for invoice I want them to see

Still not working…

This documantation is exactly what I am trying to acheive - but it does not go into detail on how to create this?

User should be a webuser

[tcsmith62]

The user does show as user type “website user”
There is no role webuser?

Doh!
Finally figured out that the Customer needs to have the website user added as a contact
That is the link that I was missing!!

I know to the forum users that my lack of understanding of how the software works is very basic - but the lack of documentation is a real time waster - just saying - glad that I figured it out…

Everything works after the invoice is submitted.

How can customers view their invoices in ERP Next?

Bench version 5.0.0
ERP Next version 12.6.0
Frappe version 12.4.1

• Create customer
• Create user
• Apply permissions to the user
• Add website user to the customer
• Create and submit invoice
• Log on as the user

Create Customer

In your ERP Next dash, go to : Selling>CUstomer>Create new customer
Enter details like name, type and email etc - once saved this will create a contact in CRM

Create User

go to: Users and Permissions>User>Create new user
Enter email, first name and last name, uncheck “send welcome email” - once saved this will create a contact in CRM - by default a new user will be type “website user”

Click on the created user and add a password under “change password”

Apply permissions to user

Click on the user created and scroll down to roles - check the “customer” checkbox - save.

Add website user to the customer

Go to: CRM>Contact and pick the website user created - scroll down to “reference” and add row
Link document type is “customer” then pick the relevant customer - save
To check this
go to:Selling>Customer>pick the customer and scroll down to “Address and contact” - you should see that the webuser contact has been added.

Create and submit invoice

Note: This assumes you have created at least one item to add
Create the invoice using:
Selling>Sales Invoice>New - Pick customer, add items and save - submit the invoice.

If you now log on as the website user go to:
My account - click on invoices in the left sidebar - You should see the created invoice!
Note: the only options by default are to read OR print
