Where to goAdmin Area → Purchase → Vendors → Contacts and Purchase Options
Before you start
  • Use an account with Administrator or relevant Purchase capability and confirm the intended record or setting before making a change.
  • Follow the exact route above. If the screen or action is absent, check module activation, ownership and permissions rather than using another person’s account.
  • Use controlled test data for configuration, integration, email, AI, payment, portal or automation changes before production-wide use.

What you’ll accomplish

Verify the optional welcome message when a contact is created. The instructions reflect the supplied module’s registered menus, controller actions, views, settings and code-backed validation flow.

Follow these steps

  1. Go to Admin Area → Purchase → Vendors → Contacts and Purchase Options.
  2. Go to the source record and verify its recipient, status, totals and attachments.
  3. Select the Send, Email, Share or Request action described in the guide.
  4. Select recipients and attachment/signature options shown by the form.
  5. Submit once and verify the activity, delivery metadata, public link or approval request created by the module.

Fields and options to review

Vendor identityCompany/name, code, tax/VAT, phone, website, category/group, address and status as exposed by the vendor form.
Contacts and accessVendor contacts, vendor administrators, portal status, language and welcome/notification settings where applicable.

Rules the system enforces

  • Vendor actions are capability-gated; portal functions also depend on the vendor-portal setting and contact authentication.

How to confirm it worked

  • The supported send a new-vendor welcome email flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
  • The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
  • Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Apply least privilege to purchasing, vendor, invoice, payment, return, contract and report permissions.
  • Verify vendor identity, bank/payment details, tax, currency, totals and approvals before creating financial commitments.
  • Treat public links, signatures, portal files, attachments and exported reports as controlled business records.
  • Test settings and automated jobs with controlled records before production-wide use.
