FastBase can be configured to produce a confirmation of all sales orders and have it emailed to each customer automatically.
FastBase will take all orders entered for the day, group them by email address (the email address can be overridden for each customer/order) then send the report, containing a status message for each line item.
All orders are sent to the customer, including ones that have been dispatched and invoiced already. The status of each line will be clearly identified.
This confirmation email is not designed to replace the packing slip or any other paper work that you might receive, it is designed to be informative and as an added confirmation that the order has been received and entered into the computer.
Email AddressesFastBase records an email address against each customer, this is usually associated with the accounts area.
If the customer requires a different email address for order confirmations to be sent then this should be entered onto the delivery address details screen. Each delivery address can have a different email address. See Customer Delivery Addresses.
When the sales order is entered into FastBase the email address will be picked up from the delivery address record. If no email address is specified then the customer's default email address will be used.
