What is PO email automation?
You can now have your purchase orders automatically emailed to your vendors when the purchase order is created. This reduces the need to manually email vendors, removing data entry errors when typing email addresses and eliminating the chance of forgetting to send a purchase order.

3. Select the menu button located at the top right of the Vendor window and select Edit Vendor. Enter the email of the Vendor in the Email Recipients field and select Submit. It is possible to add multiple emails to each Vendor.
4. Each Vendor will have a PO Vendor Automation toggle. Locate and select the toggle to Yes, so it appears green.
