Sending Purchase Orders to Vendors
When a quote is approved and a sale is created, Brandengine automatically generates the required Purchase Orders to send to your suppliers.

The functionality to email PO’s to vendors is similar to sending quotes.
Once you are happy with the content in the PO, navigate to the Action panel on the right of screen.
Here you will find various distribution options, along with the ability to add attachments and generate delivery labels (if the supplier permits)

NB – When orders are placed via online supplier portals – to record the order placement – click Mark purchase order as sent
Send to vendor
Selecting Send to vendor will open up a familiar email dialogue. This is prepopulated with your PO Email template text and the vendors email address (these are editable if needed). The PO and any attachments are also loaded ready send.

Need to change the Vendor email address?
By default, Brandengine will insert the general email address loaded for the Vendor. This may have come from Promodata – or – may have been entered when adding the supplier manually.

If the supplier has a dedicated email address for orders, or you want to send orders to your Account Manager (eg) – you can select this person from the vendors contacts list and designate them to receive all PO’s.
This selection is done at the top right corner of the vendor edit window – in the Send PO to dropdown

If there are no contacts listed, you can add them to the Vendors listing
