Send Receivables transactions and statements to designated customers using e-mail



Below setups need to be done in order to send Transaction and Statement Delivery using E-Mail.

         1.     Manage Receivables System Options Setup

E-Mail Receivables system options: Use the Transaction and Statement Delivery using E-Mail sections of the Billing and Revenue tabbed region of the Receivables System Option pages to set up the details of transaction and statement delivery using e-mail for the applicable business units. Enter these values in the corresponding fields:
o   From Name: Name of your enterprise.
o   From E-Mail: E-mail address of your enterprise.
o   Reply-to E-Mail: E-mail address of your enterprise that your customers can send an e-mail to.
o   E-Mail Subject: Text of the e-mail subject line.
o   Include Business Unit in E-Mail Subject: Option to include the name of your business unit in the subject line.
o   Include Transaction Number in E-Mail Subject: Option to include the transaction number in the subject line.
o   Include Statement Date in E-Mail Subject: Option to include the statement date in the subject line.
o   E-Mail Body: Text of the e-mail message. Include appropriate formatting.
Note: These are all conditionally required fields. If you plan to enable printing and e-mail delivery of transactions or statements, then you must enter values in these fields to ensure successful delivery.


After clicking on plus button, below setup need to be done:


2.     Preferred Delivery Method:
Set the Preferred Delivery Method field to E-Mail at the customer site or customer account level, depending upon whether you want to deliver using e-mail for specific customer sites or all sites belonging to a customer account. 

3.     Customer contacts:
Assign at least one customer contact at the account or site level both an e-mail address and the Bill-to purpose or Statement purpose. These rules apply to customer contacts:
o   The contact must be active when the Print Receivables Transactions or Create Customer Statements process is run.
o   If a customer account or site doesn't have any contact with both an e-mail address and a Bill-to purpose or Statement purpose, then transactions or statements are not delivered for this customer account or site.
o   For transactions, if a customer account or site does have a contact with both an e-mail address and a Bill-to purpose, but the same contact e-mail address is also assigned the Collections or Dunning purpose, then this contact is excluded from e-mail delivery.
o   For statements, if the customer has a statement site, then a consolidated statement is created and delivered for all billing sites belonging to the customer account.



Create contact with Role Type as contact.


Create contact point as phone or email etc.

customer contacts should have responsibility = statements for customer statements


or customer contacts should have responsibility = Bill To for Transaction.




At least one active customer contact should have an e-mail address and Bill-to purpose or Statement purpose.

4.     Your e-mail delivery setup is still incomplete.
            This is most likely due to one of two settings:
·       In Receivables system options, you must enter an active e-mail address in either the From E-Mail field or the Reply-to E-Mail field of the Transaction or Statement Delivery Using E-Mail section of the Billing and Revenue tabbed region for the applicable business unit.
·       At least one customer contact must have both a Bill-to purpose or Statement purpose assignment and an active e-mail address.
·       For transactions:
o   If the transaction doesn't have a bill-to customer contact, or if that contact doesn't have an e-mail address, then the e-mail delivery process looks for all active customer contacts at the account or site level that have both a Bill-to purpose and an e-mail address.
o   If any exist, then the transaction is delivered to all of these contacts, with the exception of contact e-mail addresses also assigned the Collections or Dunning purpose.
o   If none exist, then the transaction is not printed.
