Sent Invoice to Vendors

[igavemybest]

I understand that nVelocity can be used from within the template and it is powerful etc etc, and all that truly is wonderful. These facts however remain:

1) It needs to be easy. The scripting from within an email template to send multiple emails to different vendors based on what products come from what vendors is just a pain, and most people don't understand it.
2) If most people don't understand it this thread will get longer and longer.
3) The way it is, because people don't understand it, means it isn't easy.
4) Education may be one solution, and I do think for the larger part that is a partial answer to the problem, but only partly. If people need to do more complex tasks within nVelocity then I agree, educate the people and let them create.

The fact that the thread has gotten this far, is really disappointing to me. It seems obvious that something so simple should be an automatic "check a box" task. There is no need for all this back and forth, email scripting, etc. It is one of the most basic of tasks, and it is not working. It is painfully obvious everyone wants the same thing, a simple, easy, working solution.

I have to say, this really is awesome. One thing is is missing however is it isn't the solution to the multiple vendor email issue. For our smaller vendors, it is super, but for many of our larger vendors dont have a specific rep that will check an rss feed. They only accept electronic order delivery or email.
