Routing orders to external purchase systems

The processing for orders is the same as for quotes. For example, you can define approvals, alerts, associated events and messages for an order.

You have several methods available, specifically designed for orders, to interface with an external system.

  • You can send email notifications.
  • In Format Control, you can create an eventout record.
  • If batch processing is used, you can print the order to a specific printer.

    Note: Printing the immediate ordering type is not supported.

  • Alternatively, you can perform a file unload process for recently created orders, and move the file to an external procurement system with receipt information sent to Service Manager.
