Purchase orders and schedule notifications are sent from WMS as attachments to e-mail. Selecting the attachment format will depend on how the company's suppliers or other external sources wish to receive e-mail attachments. In addition to selecting the format for attachments, it is also necessary to select the format for the format of the message contained in the body of the e-mail that is sent from WMS. WMS only supports SMTP-compliant e-mail. MAPI-compliant e-mail is NOT supported. The data reflected below is typically used for a stand-alone configuration.
