Clear and effective communication with your vendors is essential when managing procurement. With our platform, you can personalize the email sent to your vendor when releasing a Purchase Order (PO), making the process both professional and tailored to your needs. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to customize the email for maximum clarity and impact.
Release the Purchase Order
Once your Purchase Order is complete and ready for submission to the vendor, navigate to the specific PO within the system and click the “Release” button. This will open a pop-up window with several configuration options.
Enable Email Customization
In the pop-up window, locate the option to "Customize Email." To begin personalizing the email, switch on the "Customize Email" toggle. This will enable you to edit both the header and body of the email before it is sent.
Customize the Email Header
The email header is the first part your vendor will see, so it’s important to make sure it conveys the right message. To edit the header, you have two options:
- Double-click on the header field to enable editing.
- Alternatively, click the “Edit” button next to the header field.
Once you’ve entered the desired text, the changes are automatically saved. The header could include specific instructions for the vendor, additional context for the order, or any other relevant information that you want to highlight.
Customize the Email Body
Customizing the body of the email allows you to provide detailed information or specific requests. Similar to editing the header, you can:
- Double-click the body field to make changes.
- Or click the "Edit" button to open the text editor for modifications.
In the body, you can include information such as shipment details, payment terms, or a personalized note to the vendor. This ensures that all important details related to the PO are communicated clearly. Once you're done, simply click outside the text box to automatically save your changes.
Send the Customized Email
Once you are satisfied with the customizations, click the "Release" button to send the Purchase Order along with the personalized email to the vendor. The vendor will receive the message exactly as you’ve set it up, providing clarity and ensuring your specific requests are highlighted.
Re-Releasing the Purchase Order
In cases where modifications to the PO are needed after the initial release, you can easily notify your vendor by re-releasing the updated PO. Follow the same process for customizing the email as you did during the initial release. This is especially useful if you’ve made changes to the quantities, delivery dates, or any other critical details in the PO that the vendor needs to be aware of.
Why Customize the Email?
Customizing the email when releasing a PO offers several advantages:
- Personalization: Tailor the message to the vendor, enhancing your relationship with clear, direct communication.
- Clarity: Ensure all necessary details are presented in a way that minimizes the risk of misunderstandings or delays.
- Professionalism: A well-structured email reflects professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring that your vendors are well-informed about your expectations.
Conclusion
Customizing emails when releasing a Purchase Order allows for better communication and ensures your vendor receives the correct information, making the procurement process more efficient and professional. Whether it’s for the first release or for re-releasing an updated PO, this feature helps streamline the process and keeps everything clear.
