A variable is a field name from your company database that can be replaced with specific terms or values from your company records.
You can use variables in the subject line and body of email messages you create to send with letters to vendors. Accounts Payable substitutes vendor or company-specific information when you specify an email delivery method and code when printing letters.
Example: In an email message to a company where the specified vendor contact is Mr. Carl Jenner, the line "Dear $VENDOR_CONTACT" is replaced with "Dear Mr. Carl Jenner" when the message is sent.
You can use the following Accounts Payable variables in all email messages.
| Value to Insert | E-mail Message Variable |
|---|---|
| Company contact | $COMPANY_CONTACT |
| Company name | $COMPANY_NAME |
| Company fax number | $COMPANY_FAX |
| Company telephone number | $COMPANY_PHONE |
| Vendor ID | $VENDOR_ID |
| Vendor contact | $VENDOR_CONTACT |
| Vendor name | $VENDOR_NAME |
