This article will provide you with tips you can use to deliver documents by e-mail:

  • Tag labels

E-mail documents using tag labels

When sending an invoice by e-mail, you can choose to immediately tag a document as purchase or sales. For example, add [PNV] to the subject line to mark the attachment (s) directly as a purchase or use [SLS] for sales invoices. More information about tagging and the available tags can be found on this page

If the setting is enabled as mandatory for authorisation before booking, the tag will be removed and included as text in the comment field. This will need to be manually assigned to an authoriser on the web application.

[CUST] tags you cannot use as mentioned above, via the mail.

Include comments to your delivered documents

You can also add a comment to your documents when delivering them by e-mail. Use the following code in the body of your email to automatically fill the comment field in Basecone: [* write your comment here *]

📌 Any information written outside the star and brackets will not be visible in the application. If each document has a separate comment, each document should be send separately.
