Configure e-mailing and printing for a purchase contact
You record the basic configuration for printing and e-mailing reports to purchase contacts in the purchase contact profile. You then record the purchase contact's preference and the contact person. Finally, for each report you can still deviate from this preference and, if necessary, add a different or an extra contact.
Description
You record the e-mailing and/or printing of reports for your purchase contacts at various levels. If you record a deviating supply type for a report, then the setting in the properties of the purchase contact will be overwritten.
You can opt to e-mail most reports but always print a receipt of goods. In that case, you specify E-mail as the preference of the sales contact. For the receipt of goods, you set the deviating Print action in the properties of the purchase contact.
