Email Message Variables

O/E Email Messages Screen

You can create email messages to send with order confirmations, quotes, invoices, and credit notes. More...

Each message is identified with a unique message ID of up to 16 characters. You use this message ID to select the message when you select Customer as the delivery method on an Order Entry customer form (an order confirmation, quote, invoice, credit note, or debit note).

Tip: You can add variables to the subject line and body of your email message, which are then replaced with specific information when you send the email message. For more information, see Email Message Variables.
