- Invoices (new invoices created)
- Invoice payment due soon
- Invoice paid
- Invoice Prompts
- Overdue Invoices

- Remittance (for a single bill)
- Supplier Remittance (for a payment allocated to multiple invoices/bills)
- Customer Payment Remittance
- Purchase Orders
- Customer Statements

The completed email will look as follows:
