Emailing from the AP Register Report

When I click a particular Payment on the Checks and Payments screen, then go to the AP Payment Register report, then click the Send button, I would like to have a simple email template which populates data from the AP Payment Register report. Specifically, I would like to use the Vendor Name and Email Address and the Amount. I would also like the User’s Name in the email signature.

I have tried two things.

  1. I created an email template based on the Checks and Payments screen and specified that in the AP Payment Register Report Designer. But none of the Data Fields I select in the email template work. The AP Payment Register Report screen does not appear to be available for the basis of an email template.
  2. Next, I scrapped the email template idea and tried to enter the email in the Report Designer Mail Settings fields. The problems here include not finding the Vendor Email Address and not being able to create the email Body with the line breaks and formatting desired.

The email template option is my preference but the Checks and Payments screen does not seem to offer the data fields I want to use.

I would be happy for even a tiny bit of guidance.

Thanks, Tom

Updating my question …

I found that we can select Activities and Add Email for a particular Payment on the Checks and Payments screen, then select an email template which has data fields that will correctly populate.

But, in order to have the AP Payment Register report attached, we have to generate the report and attach it to the email.

I still don’t understand why the AP Payment Register report cannot be sent in a more straightforward way. The Send button on the AP Payment Register report seems useless.

Hey Tom! 

This sounds like it could be accomplished by configuring a Business Event that runs off of a custom GI. The GI would supply the data for the email template and the report at the same time. You could trigger the email on the GI by action, or automate it if desired.

Well, that’s easy for you to say!

I work for a small organization with limited resources. I’m sure there is a solution along the lines you describe, but I haven’t found the available material on GIs all that simple to follow.

Your partner should be able to assist with that, it is what partners are trained for :) 

There is some really great end user training for customers too if you want to take a stab at it!
You would want to review the “data retrieval” training: S130 Data Retrieval and Analysis 2025 R2

There isn’t a specific training for business events, but there is some really great help articles, I think a lot of us learned business events on the fly: Using Business Events

I know you mentioned even the tiniest bit of guidance would be helpful, I truly hope this helps! Also I do recommend using your partner to your fullest advantage, these types of things are exactly what they are there for.
