Automatically send supplier the purchase order when the PO is approved

5 votes

When a PO is approved, and if the supplier has a valid email address, it would be good if the system just sent the purchase order.

This would work only if you have already filled in what email you want the PO to go to or could select from a drop down/input when creating the PO. In our case it HAS to go the accounts team for our supplier so that should automatically be filled in and only be able to be changed by finance users. But it also has to go to the person we are dealing with in sales/hire department so that should be able to be selected or filled in when creating the PO as an additional email address to send the PO to

Great idea and I agree with Claire. Needs to be nominated which email address that will go to as it can vary from what is on the supplier card.
