Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Feature of the Day – Email

E-mail has come to Dynamics GP!!! 


Why this feature is cool!


 Currently, Dynamics does not provide a way to directly e-mail documents to customers or vendors from within the application.  This feature would allow the user to e-mail single documents, batches of documents, and/or multiple documents from a list within the system.  The user can select which documents they would like to send and also select which customers/vendors should receive their documents in e-mail.  This feature also integrates to the Word forms feature shipping in GP 11.0.  Therefore, the user can send the customized Word forms that they have created to their customers and vendors.


 



  • Documents Supported:  Sales Quote, Sales Order, Sales Fulfillment Order, Sales Invoice, Receivables Invoice, Receivables Return, Receivables Debit Memo, Receivables Credit Memo, Receivables Finance Charges, Receivables Warranty, Receivables Service/Repair, Standard Purchase Order, Blanket Purchase Order, Drop Ship Purchase Order, Drop Ship Blanket Purchase Order, Vendor Remittances

  • Documents can be sent as either an HTML, XPS, PDF, or DOCX attachment

  • Documents can be embedded into the body of the e-mail.

  • Customized messages can be created for each document and customer/vendor combination.

  • Multiple documents can be combined and sent in a single e-mail.

  • Documents can be sent to a To, CC or BCC address.

  • Can direct replies to a specific individual or addres
