Understanding Email and Mail Merge

The email feature is integrated into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system and enables you to send email messages to groups or individuals without using a separate program, such as Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes. You can send saved messages and create new messages, and you can vary the recipients.

Rather than specifying long lists of email recipients, you can easily create groups that are comprised of individuals or subgroups. For example, you might create a groups for customers, local or regional associates, or employees in the department.

As business needs change, you can modify email groups.

If you routinely send mass emails or regular mailings, the Email Merge and Mail Merge features might be beneficial.

The Mail Merge feature is driven by a wizard that guides you through the process of selecting a template and configuring it for the mailing. This process is similar to the one that is used by the Proposal Generation feature.

Email merge works like a traditional mail merge, enabling you to create personalized communications that automatically retrieve information from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system such as the recipient's name, address, and so on.
