Where BC takes the email address in 'Send Email'?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all, 

For the 'Send Email' in BC, system always automatically fill up the 'To' email address. Where actually the system takes the email address from? Because I noticed that sometimes the email address filled by system is different from the 'Bill-to E-Mail' I had in the Posted Sales Invoice. Kindly advice me. Thank you.

    Hi Josh,

    I have the same question and lucky this post not too long ago.

    I understand we can use "Document Layouts" to have different emails when sending the document, which is quite handy, thanks.

    However, I found that the default email does not get from "Sell-to Contact" nor "Bill-to Contact". ( In case of not setting up the "Document Layout")

    My testing result shows me that the system always takes email in Customer Card.

    MY testing example like below

    Customer Card email : custCard@TestEmail.com

    Sell-to Contact email : SellToContact@TestEmail.com

    Bill-to Contact email : BillToContact@TestEmail.com

    I also found Online Document written that is get from "customer email address"( I assume it mean Customer Card)

    docs.microsoft.com/.../ui-how-send-documents-email

    Do you mind guide me on how to take email from contact instead of customer card? (If is control by setup)

    In general it is the sell-to contact or bill-to contact, depending on the document. You can override this by using settings at customer or vendor level for specific documents. Go to a customer card and look for “Document Layouts”. You can then say that invoices, for example, are sent to a collection of contacts or static typed email addresses. This is useful as orders might go to 1 email or contact, whilst invoices and statements just go to a finance email contact. A full explanation of the mentioned feature is here: docs.microsoft.com/.../ui-define-customer-vendor-document-layouts
