Print and Email Default settings allow you to preset email templates, email addresses and print layouts across various areas in AroFlo. 

Defaults can be applied to invoices, quotes, tasks, purchase orders, compliance forms, supplier quotes and credit notes.

This feature may be useful if you want to:

  • Set common subject text or body text in the emails you send, e.g. set emails with a purchase order to include 'Please find attached PO number [PO Number]'.
  • Set email recipients, e.g. ensure your invoice emails are cc:'ed to your accounts department email address.
  • Set default print layouts, e.g. set your sales invoices to use a simple layout and your project invoices to use a detailed layout.
  • Client specific settings can be set up within the Client card > Client Print & Email Defaults.
    Example: Set your VIP clients to receive a unique invoice layout, designed specifically for their requirements.
  • Supplier specific settings (for purchase orders and supplier quotes) are available within the Supplier card > Supplier Print & Email Defaults.
    Example: One of your suppliers may require a unique purchase order format.

Note: Any Client and Supplier settings will override the Business Unit default settings. Client and Supplier settings not available in AroFlo Go.

Using Mulitple Business Units?

Like client and supplier settings described above, setting the defaults of a child business unit will allow you to use that instead of parent defaults for most options.
