Emailing Purchase Orders

(Email Purchase Orders users only)

Use the Purchase Order Format Report (RPO) in Eagle for Windows to email POs. POs will be emailed as a .pdf attachment. You can email in mass by leaving the from/to fields blank, or you can specify a range or a particular PO in the from/to fields. The Purchase Order can be emailed by either running the RPO report from the menu, or by clicking on <Transmit> while viewing the PO in the Modify Purchase Order (MPO) application. The following procedure assumes you have completed the setup for Email Purchase Orders.
