Trying to set up the automation and facility to directly e-mail any manual/instant invoice we create.

 

We have an e-mail event set up, but cannot get customer e-mail to pull through, which field should this be entered on to populate?

 

Another way I had tried was setting up e-invoice in supplier card, the IFS Help section advises I can change the address after saving to an internet e-mail address, but I get an error when trying to change/save this?

Hi,

You are not allowed to modify the address of an already added line.
In order to set it up again, you need to delete the entire line and add a new line with the new address.

&PDF_PARAMETER_1 needs to be entered in to the ‘TO’ field of the Event Action. Then only the customer contact’s email address would be automatically pulled through to the email event.

As others have advised, please ensure that you have setup a customer contact with an email address and connected him/her to an address ID where the ‘Document’ address type checkbox is selected. If the issue still persists, it is better to log a case to IFS SUPPORT for further investigations.

Also, it is worth checking whether emails for customer order invoices are triggered properly for the same customer.

Hi @cperdue,

 

What is your IFS Version? We had some requests from our internal auditors and one of them was to send a copy BCC to a specific mailbox. Looking at your PrintScreen I remarked that we don’t have all fields that you are.

We are working with 

 

Thanks

Hi in Simple answer to a simple question yes, you need to check the permission set, the quick proof will be if you log in as IFSAPP and it works, it is definitely a permission issue.

Just tried as IFSAPP and it won’t allow us to change.  Any other ideas as to what could be causing the issue?

 

Regarding the issue about the “Message Setup” on Customer:

You need to remove the line you have and create a new one with the updated value. As you noticed, it is not possible to change the existing line.


Hi, sorry this might seem a straightforward answer, but when I create the new line, how do I get an e-mail address in there as the updated value?

What does the event setup look like?

This is a static e-mail that has been set up and all Instant Invoices are being sent here at moment.  How do I get specific customer e-mail in there depending on who customer is

Is this the correct email address?  Have you had IT check your email server?   

 

 

If the correct email address shows up here, it has sent from IFS.

Maybe further to that, we currently have a static -mail address set up for the e-mail event.  My information was when the customer e-mail  address at bottom of E-mail populated from IFS we would use that as the location of where to send the e-mail

This one might be more accurate

On the bottom of the screen, check the error text.  It should point you to what is missing/misdirected.

Yes, I’ve tried putting in email address in AR Contact and in comm tab and using the record I have set up for customer order invoices in Cust Ref, but none of them seem to trigger or pull through to the email event

Have you tried the COMM tab of the Customer record?

We have an e-mail event set up for the instant/manual invocies, unfortunately we cannot get the customer e-mail to pull through.  Which field do you have to enter it in to use this?

Hi-

 

I have accomplished this via emailed events (printout) but have also seen the AR contact field utilized.  This may be an option.

 

I hope this is helpful.  :)

Thanks for looking at this.  Do I simply then need permission changed by out IT dept for myself to update or is this a company permission that we are unable to update?
