Adding PO number to order confirmation emails

[Nick]

Hi all

A client wants to be able to add a shopper's purchase order number to the order confirmation email. We've tried adding NETQUOTEVAR:PURCHASEORDERNUMBER to the various email templates, but this does not work.

Anyone got any suggestions?

(Using Actinic Business V6).

Thanks in advance

Nick

There is a discussion here for adding payment method and shipping method. Maybe it can be adapted for purchase order number.

I will see if Zoltan is knocking about to give some input.

You can get it work by some script customisation. Just open OrderScript.pl and find the line

$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('CUSTOMER_NAME',$sName);

in sub GenerateCustomerMail. If you got this line then add the following

$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('PURCHASEORDERNUMBER', $::g_PaymentInfo{'PONO'});

Once you have done this change <Actinic:PURCHASEORDERNUMBER/> tag will be available in Act_CustomerEmail.txt template.

I hope this helps.

Will this work with v7?

Will this still work in v7? I need to add customer purchase order number to Act_CustomerEmail.txt (I'm scared of Perl scripts!)

Also I would like to add Payment Method to the customer email. How can I do this?

Thanks, Lisa

Yes this does still work in v7. See this knowledge base article And don't forget you have an untouched version of the script in the 'Originals' folder.
