Activity Line E-mailing. Activity lines in Exportmaster's processing systems, usually used for document creation, control or check-list purposes, can be configured via this facility to generate automatic e-mail messages to other users or third parties. These messages, typically action requests or reminders, are predefined in templates, but their content can be transaction-specific thanks to the use of merge fields which look up the appropriate data. The facility is ideal for ensuring correct interaction with others at critical stages in the progress of a transaction.
A further feature allows the e-mail message to generate its own attachments of outstanding shipping documents for transmission to a customer, consignee, forwarder or other recipient. (19/12/2008).
Temporary products (New sourcing feature). Version 4.14 has introduced many improvements to the Exportmaster TOPS product sourcing system. These include the ability to create and process temporary products that can be discarded or made permanent later on. There are also new facilities for handling situations in which different suppliers offer different products against a single item in an enquiry. (25/07/2008)
