Emailing Overview
A feature of MYOB Accounting Plus is the ability to send forms and reports by email. In order to use the email feature, your email software must be MAPI compliant.
In order to send a sale, purchase or report by email from MYOB Accounting Plus, the email software you use must be MAPI, (Messaging Application Programming Interface) compliant. The following are some email software programs that are MAPI compliant: Microsoft Outlook (97 and 98), Netscape Messenger (Version 4), Outlook Express (Version 4 and later), Qualcomm’s Eudora (all versions), Pegasus Mail (Version 3) and Microsoft Exchange.You can access the email feature by clicking the Send To button in the Sales, Purchases, Index to Reports and Screen Reports windows. All sales --Quotes, Orders, Invoices and all purchases -- Quotes, Orders and Bills can be emailed. You can also send an email message -- one that doesn’t contain a form or report -- using the Card Information window.
If your email software is MAPI compliant, you can email forms and reports. You can access the email feature by clicking the Send To button in the Sales, Purchases, Index to Reports and Screen Reports windows and then choosing E-mail.
When you choose E-mail after clicking the Send To button, the E-mail window will appear. If you’re emailing a sale or purchase, the email address for the customer or vendor will display if you’ve entered an email address for the location of the customer or vendor in the Card Information window. Also, if you’ve selected a form in the Selected Form field of the Selling/Buying Details view of the Card Information window, that form will be used when the form is emailed. You can select a different form if you wish.
If you’re emailing a report, when the E-mail window appears, you’ll enter the email address of the contact to whom you wish to email the report.
When you click Send, an email which has the sale, purchase or report attached as a PDF file is sent to the outbox of your email program. You’ll then send the file as you normally do using your email program.
You can save an sale, purchase or report as a PDF file that you can attach to an email. You can access this feature by clicking the Send To button in the Sales, Purchases, Index to Reports and Screen Reports windows and choosing Disk. If you click Disk at the Index to Reports and Screen Reports windows, choose PDF from the list of file formats.
