Sage ERP Accpac Order Entry 6.0

Print Reports as an E-mail Attachment

Sage ERP Accpac lets you print reports to a printer, to the screen, to a file, or as an attachment to an e-mail message.

Note: This is not the same as using the e-mail delivery method for customer forms such as order confirmation and invoices. Order Entry also lets you send quotes, order confirmations, and invoices to customers using the delivery method specified in A/R customer records.

To change the default print destination to E-mail:

  1. From the Sage Accpac Desktop menu, select File > Print Destination.

  2. Select E-mail to create a file that can be attached to an e-mail.

  3. Select either Adobe Acrobat (PDF) or Rich Text Format (RTF) as the file format for the e-mail attachment.

You can open PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader (available as a free download from the Adobe Software Web site).

You can open RTF files with most Windows and Linux word processing programs.

  1. Click OK.

When you print with an e-mail destination

  • Sage ERP Accpac creates a PDF or RTF version of the report.

  • Opens your default e-mail program, and attaches the report file to a new e-mail.

In Microsoft Windows, the default e-mail program is set in Internet Options, in the Control Panel.
