Electronic Delivery for Forms

 Show/Hide All

E-mail

Select this check box to e-mail the form. Clear this check box if you do not want to e-mail the form.

 

Use E-mail Message

Select this check box to use the default message defined for the form in Electronic Delivery Message Maintenance.

When this check box is selected, the message that is used depends on the specificity of messages defined in Electronic Delivery Message Maintenance. Multiple messages can be defined for a single document. For example, one message can be defined for all documents in all companies and all modules, and another message can be defined for a specific document in a specific company and module. When multiple messages exist for a document, the message used is based on a hierarchy. Messages defined for a specific company, module, document type, and/or document override messages defined for all companies, modules, document types, and documents. For more information about the specific message hierarchy, see Electronic Delivery Message Hierarchy.

If this check box is selected but no default message exists for the document, a blank subject line will be used along with the following standard message body text: "Please see the attached PDF document: [file name]" where [file name] is the PDF document file name. Clear this check box to manually enter a subject line in the Subject Line field, and use the standard message body text. This field is available only if the E-mail check box is selected.

For more information about how text is placed in e-mails, see E-mail Message and Fax Cover Sheet Formats for Paperless Office.

 

From E-mail Address

Type the sender e-mail address to use for the e-mails. This field defaults to the e-mail address entered in the From E-mail Address field in the Form Maintenance window. If the From E-mail Address field is blank, the address entered in the E-mail Address field in the Company Maintenance window is used. For more information, see Form Maintenance and Company Maintenance.

This field is available only if the E-mail check box is selected.

 

Subject Line

Type a subject line to use for the e-mail. You can also manually type in merge fields in the subject line, using the format [xxx]. When the message is sent, the merge field is converted to the corresponding value.

It is important to only type merge fields that apply to the document you are sending. For example, the [DocumentNo] merge field applies only to certain documents. If this merge field is inserted for a document such as a statement that does not have a document number, the merge field is not converted to a value when the e-mail is sent. For more information, see Paperless Office Merge Fields.

This field is available only if the E-mail check box is selected and the Use E-mail Message check box is cleared. If the Use E-mail Message check box is selected, the subject line defined in Electronic Delivery Message Maintenance for the form is used.

 Example - Inserting a merge field

To define a message for a group of invoices that automatically inserts the invoice type and invoice date into the subject line, you could insert merge fields similar to the following:

Attached is your [Document] dated [DocumentDate].

In the actual e-mail this would appear as the following:

Attached is your Credit Memo dated 5/31/2010.

 

Additional E-Mail Attachments

Enter the location path and file name of the attachment, or click the Browse button (with the folder icon) to browse for the attachment.
