# Invoice Dispatch Flow Logic Once Invoices have been created, either automatically or manually, Maica then has the ability to dispatch these as either self-managed, plan-managed, or agency-managed Invoices as per the flow shown below.

The following logic applies to each funding type as specified on the [Invoice](https://kb.maica.com.au/ndis-management/invoice-management/invoice-overview).

Funding Type	Maica Action Description
Self Managed	Self-managed invoices are sent out using a standard Salesforce Email Template invoice. This is either sent to the participant directly or to a configured connection to the participant marked as `Invoice Recipient`
Plan Managed	Plan-managed invoices are sent out using a standard Salesforce Email Template invoice. This is sent to the recorded plan manager (capturd via an account lookup on the contact).
Agency Managed	Agency-managed invoices are submitted to the NDIS, either via the API or claim file, as payment requests to claim for the required funds.

{% hint style="info" %} This dispatch flow can be amended (or disabled) to implement your required logic including a potential integration with a finance system to take ownership of invoices. {% endhint %}
