Automation tool to create text email with purchase order data out of purchase order business object

摘要

In a purchase order management system, with each purchase order request, a user can indicate to the computer to send a purchase order request to a supplier. A conventional groupware e-mail editor pops up with the data of the purchase order already embedded as text. The purchaser can add or change some data and send it to the designated supplier. The system may also extract the e-mail recipient destination address from the purchase order request record, or by comparing information in the order with address information in a database, automatically filling in the “to” and “subject” fields of the e-mail. The salutation and signature of the e-mail may also be automatically generated.
