This document describes how to send a purchase order to a supplier via email.
Sending a purchase order directly via email from RetailVista has the advantage that it does not go through an external mailbox and does not need to be saved as a PDF file, for example.
The process of making a supplier suitable for emailing the purchase order is described below.
Step 1: Specify the default communication type and purchase order line type.

Step 2: Specify the email address to which the purchase order should be sent.

When creating a purchase order for the respective supplier, it should be indicated that it is an electronic order of the "Email" type.

After the purchase order has been finalized, it can be sent to the supplier.

After this step, a PDF will be generated and picked up by the task scheduler to be sent via email.
The default report used for sending the purchase order can be set via:
extra -> settings -> tasks -> reports -> DefaultReport_FinalStandardPurchaseOrder (see image)
