The capability to automatically send shipping documents via electronic mail within Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations streamlines the logistics process. It involves configuring the system to generate and transmit a record of freight consignment details to relevant parties, such as customers or carriers, without manual intervention. This functionality typically requires setup within the transportation management or warehouse management modules of the ERP system, linking document templates to specific events in the shipping workflow.
This automated transmission significantly reduces manual effort, minimizes delays, and improves accuracy in the supply chain. Historically, these documents were often sent manually, leading to potential errors and time inefficiencies. The digital method ensures quicker delivery and provides a verifiable audit trail, contributing to better customer service and enhanced operational efficiency. Organizations benefit from decreased administrative overhead, reduced risk of lost or misplaced paperwork, and improved communication throughout the shipping process.
