Transmit a Purchase Order as a PDF File

You can use the Transmit the PO PDF as an unzipped file when it’s the only attachment check box to send a PO as an uncompressed PDF file by email to your suppliers. This option is applicable when the PO is the only attachment available for the message.

This feature makes it easier for smaller suppliers who don’t have automated systems to read the POs they receive.

Steps to Enable

The email delivery method may be configured for a service provider or a trading partner to transmit the PO PDF as an unzipped file. To enable this option,

1. Select Manage Collaboration Messaging Service Providers from the Tasks panel tab, and search for the service provider you're using to deliver your B2B messages. If you don’t use a service provider for sending and receiving messages, select Manage B2B Trading Partners from the Tasks panel.

2. Select the Delivery Methods tab, and on the email delivery method, select the Transmit the PO PDF as an unzipped file when it’s the only attachment check box.

3. Select Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

The PO PDF is sent as an uncompressed file if it's the only attachment for the message. If there are additional attachments, all attachments including the PO PDF will be compressed and sent as a ZIP file. If your suppliers can’t receive a ZIP file, you can use the File Extension field on the email delivery method to set the extension of the file that is sent by email.
