Email delivery log—Order Entry

This list supports the enhanced lists interface. Learn more about using enhanced lists.

In Order Entry, you can send emails to customers from a transaction, from a transaction list, or from the Print or email documents page. The Email delivery log displays a list of emails sent from Order Entry within your company. You can view details about each email, verify whether an email was sent successfully, or resend an email from this page.

You can access the log from the following places:

  • The Order Entry menu to view all emails sent from Order Entry.
  • A transaction to see all emails sent from a particular transaction
  • A customer record to see all emails sent for a particular customer

Each log entry is a permanent record of the full message that was sent, exactly as it was sent, and contains a permanent record of the PDF that was attached to the email.

Sage Intacct has updated all companies to the enhanced email delivery service.

  • If your domain is not validated for this service, error logs for sent emails display in the standard Email delivery log.

  • If your domain is validated, error logs display in the New email delivery log.

Troubleshoot incorrect email addresses

An email address is made up of a LocalPart, an @ symbol, and a DomainPart. For example, LocalPart@DomainPart.

LocalPart errors

If the LocalPart is incorrect or if the LocalPart record is inactive, the Email delivery log will show the email with a Status of Sent—it will not show an error or warning condition. Your company's mail delivery system will send a delivery failure notification to the email address identified as the Sender (or From or Reply to) email address. For example, this might happen if you sent an email to Mary.Macias@worldworks.com, but Mary Macias no longer works for World Works and the email address is no longer in use.

Use the delivery failure notification email to troubleshoot LocalPart errors.

If you need to resend the email, see Resending an email.

If you need to correct the contact email address, see Correcting email addresses.

If you are using a shared email address for the Sender address (for example, AccountsReceivable@pacficcomputers.com), regularly check that inbox or make sure to forward the address to a user who will be responsible for delivery failure notifications.

DomainPart errors

The Email delivery log will show a warning or an error if the DomainPart suffix (.com, .net, and so on) is invalid or if the DomainPart contains a domain that is not in the Domain Name System. For example, this might happen if you typed worldworksss.com instead of worldworks.com in the DomainPart. The status of an email with an incorrect DomainPart will be one of the following:

  • Warning: If there was at least one email address with a valid DomainPart, the Email delivery log will show a warning indicating that at least one email was sent.
  • Error: If there were no email addresses in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields with valid DomainParts, the Email delivery log will show an error indicating there were no valid recipients.

For both errors and warnings, the Email Detail page for the email will display the invalid email address(es).

Use the Email Detail page to troubleshoot DomainPart errors.

If you need to resend the email, see Resending an email.

If you need to correct the contact email address, see Correcting email addresses.

Resend an email

You can resend an email that has already been sent. The email will include the original message, PDF attachment, and any other supporting documents (if the email template was configured to include attachments). The Resend dialog box that appears displays the email addresses to which the email was originally sent in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields. You can change these fields to different addresses as desired.

To resend an email:

  1. In the Email Detail page for the desired email, select Resend.
  2. Edit the To, Cc, and Bcc fields as necessary and select OK.

    The message, "The document has been scheduled for email delivery" appears.

Correct an email address

The majority of emails from Order Entry are sent to customers. When you initiate the send email function, the email addresses are typically pulled from contact records associated with a customer as specified in the selected email template. If an email address for a customer is incorrect, you can correct it in the Print or Email dialog box before sending the email, but you will also need to correct the email address in the source contact record to prevent potential issues in the future.

The customer is not receiving Sage Intacct emails

If your company has never sent emails from Sage Intacct and you are just now trying to send emails, verify that your Sage Intacct administrator has correctly configured the domain settings for your company.

Sage Intacct has updated all companies to the enhanced email delivery service.

The most common reason that a customer doesn't receive an email is that the email was sent to an incorrect email address. See Troubleshoot an incorrect email address.

Depending on their IT infrastructure, your customer or vendor may need to white list emails that come from Sage Intacct. The following is an example of how the customer or vendor IT person can retrieve the applicable IP addresses to white list. The customer or vendor IT person can then configure their white list as applicable.

Run the following command at a Linux prompt (trailing period is intentional):

Copy
host -t any _spf.intacct.com.

The output looks similar to the following:

_spf.intacct.com has SPF record "v=spf1 ip4:216.35.11.64/26 ip4:64.41.147.64/26 ip4:65.74.175.0/27 ip4:216.55.46.192/26  ?all"
_spf.intacct.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ip4:216.35.11.64/26 ip4:64.41.147.64/26 ip4:65.74.175.0/27 ip4:216.55.46.192/26 ?all"
