Scenario

Transactions are emailed to recipients as part of the body of an email instead of as a PDF attachment.

To email transactions (e.g.,Invoices,Cash Sales,Sales Orders,Purchase Orders, etc.) to intended recipients as PDF attachment instead of an embedded Transaction/HTML in the email, follow the steps below:

Solution

  1. Navigate toHome>Set Preferences
  2. ClickTransactions
  3. UnderPrintingsection >Transaction Email Attachment Format> SelectPDF
  4. HitSave.

This preference is user-specific and will allow users to send transaction records as a PDF attachment.

The above is true only if theCustomer's Email Preferenceis set to eitherPDForDefault. To check this, see the steps below:

    1. Navigate toLists>Relationships>Customers
    2. Select aCustomer
    3. On theCustomerrecord, clickPreferencestab >Email Preference=PDForDefault
Note:Selecting Default will follow the user preference set above.

To summarize, the hierarchy ofEmail Preferenceis as follows:
      1. Customerrecord >Preferencestab >Email Preference
      2. a. If
Default= will follow the user preference set above
        b. If
PDF = PDF (regardless of the user preference set above)c. If HTML = HTML (regardless of the user preference set above)
