Working with Email Category (WEMC)

Purpose: Use email categories to group email correspondence for scanning or informational purposes. You can assign an email category to an email at various screens where you work with email correspondence.

Notification category: The system uses the NTF category for any email notification generated by the system. For example, when you use the Generate Backorder Notices (GBOC) menu option, the system assigns an email category of NTF to each backorder notification email generated. The system automatically creates the NTF category the first time that you advance to the Work with Email Category Screen.

Note: The system saves outbound notification emails only if the Write Outbound Email to Email Repository (H99) system control value is selected.

For more information: See Email Repository Overview.
