When you combine Document Handling with purchase order management in Business Central, you get an extra feature: information from the order lines can be added directly into the body of the email. When you send the purchase order, the email body contains the actual order details rather than just an attachment. This makes it easier for the recipient to read the order without opening a separate document.
Adding order line information to the email body in Document Handling
When you use Document Handling together with purchase order management, you unlock an extra feature. Information from the order lines can be pulled into the email body itself.
In practice this means that when you send a purchase order, the email does not just include an attachment. The body of the email contains the information from the actual order. The recipient can see the order details directly in the email text.
What this means in practice
This is useful because it gives the recipient the relevant order information at a glance, without having to open an attached document first. The line details from the purchase order are carried straight into the message your supplier or contact receives.
