Purchase Order Trigger Type Tags


WARNING icon
Setting up Email Message Templates is an Advanced User feature.

For the list of types of tags available see Email Manager Message Template Tags.

The Purchase Order available tags are for emails generated and automatically sent as a result of the user creating or updating a purchase order, see How To: Setup Purchase Order Emails. The Available Tags are displayed when setting up Email Message Templates; the Trigger Type selected will determine which tags are available for use. The Available Tags inserted into the Message Template will determine what information replaces them when the email is created, see How To: Setup Email Templates for how to use the Item Template and To Follow Item Template fields.

The Tag Description of the majority of the tags explains what information will replace the tag in the email. The PURCHASE ORDER tags have different coloured backgrounds:

  • Yellow: the tags listed in yellow are used with the Item Template and To Follow Item Template fields and are placed in the Message Template body. When the email is sent the information defined in the fields Item Template and To Follow Item Template are listed in the main body of the email located where the yellow tags have been placed.
    Note: the To Follow Item Template does not work with part-shipped items.
  • Blue: the blue tags are used in the Item Template and To Follow Item Template to build up column headings of what and in which order the information will appear in the email.

The Available Tags area has the following columns:

  • Tag Desc: the description of the tag.
  • Tag Name: the tag text that will be added into the main Message Template Area and will be replaced by the corresponding data when the email is sent to the addressee.
