Vendor for E-Mail Gift Certificate (I04)

Purpose: Use this screen to define the vendor number the system uses to process electronic gift certificates.

Number field: Enter the vendor number the system uses to process electronic gift certificates. You must enter a valid vendor number in this field.

The system generates an email gift certificate, rather than a document for printing, only when:

• the Gift Certificate E-Mail Program (H07) system control value contains a valid program name. The system uses the email address defined for the vendor in this system control value only if the program defined in this system control value is ECR0383.

• the E-mail gift certificate field on the Work with Order Ship to Properties Screen is selected.

• there is an email address specified for the vendor or the recipient on the order. When you process gift certificates, the system retrieves the company number and vendor’s email address from the vendor specified in this system control value. All electronic gift certificates are emailed to this vendor for further formatting and processing before being sent to the final gift recipient.

If a vendor is not defined in this system control value or an email address is not defined for the specified vendor, the system sends gift certificates to the recipient on the order. Depending on the type of recipient for the gift certificate, you can specify the email address on a screen where you:

• work with information on a permanent shipping address for the sold-to customer, such as the Change Customer Ship To Screen (Using, Changing, or Excluding a Shipping Address) or the Create Customer Ship To Screen.

• specify a temporary shipping address for the current order only, such as the Create One Time Ship To Address Screen.

• work with the sold-to customer’s address, such as the First Create Sold To Customer Screen.

If any of the above conditions are not met, the system includes the gift certificate in a document for printing.

Sample gift certificate email: Set the Gift Certificate E-Mail Program (H07) system control value to ECR0383 if you use a vendor to process gift certificate emails. This program does not use the gift certificate email notification template; instead, it includes the following fields using name/value pairs:

• sold to first name, last name, address, and email address

• ship to first name, last name, address, and email address

• order number

• item and description

• SKU and description

• order messages 1, 2, 3, and 4; the print code must be G (print as gift message)

• gift certificate number

• gift certificate amount

Leave this field blank if you do not want the system to send gift certificate emails to the email address defined for a specified vendor. If you have a program defined in the Gift Certificate E-Mail Program (H07) system control value, the system sends gift certificate emails to the recipient on the order.
