Sending Purchase Orders via E-mail
In Picqer you can directly email a purchase order to your supplier, making it easy and quick to place your order.
How it works
- For each purchase order, you can manually email the order to the supplier. On the purchase order page, you will find the "Send to Supplier" button.
- We attach an Excel and PDF file with the details of the purchase order for the supplier.
- The email has a default layout, but you can customize the text and add your own logo using Templates.
Dynamic Text
You can insert placeholders between double curly braces. These will be replaced by Picqer with data from the purchase order.
Example
Dear {{ supplier.contactname }},
becomes
Dear Ewout Arink,
Available Placeholders
- company.name The name of your Picqer account company
- supplier.name The name of your supplier
- supplier.contactname Contact person at your supplier

Conditions
Want to take it a step further? Use conditions to display different text in the email depending on the status of the purchase order.
Example: Showing All Products in the Email
It is possible to show all proudcts of your purchase order in the email. To do this, use the placeholder {{ products.products }}. This will add a list of all products which you can walk through with 'for' to display them all. In the array, you will find the following data:
- productcode
- name
- amount
- amount_received
- productcode_supplier
The code would look like this:
{% for product in products.products %}
{{ product.amount }}x {{ product.name }} ({{ product.productcode}})
{% endfor %}
{{ product.amount }}x {{ product.name }} ({{ product.productcode}})
{% endfor %}
This is how it will appear in the email:
