To import work orders or supplier invoices, you can create an email address within AroFlo. This works from the Email Import to Create Task OR Email Import to Bill screen. Files are imported into AroFlo as soon as the email is received by our mail server. Up to 10 attachments will be processed and linked to a purchase order or bill. |

How many email addresses do I need?
For supplier invoice imports, we recommend creating a unique email address for every supplier you set up. A good format for each address is yourcompany_suppliername@imports.aroflo.com.
Supported Suppliers
For supplier invoice imports, suppliers must be from our supported suppliers list.

Email import allows you to create your own email addresses which end in @imports.aroflo.com. These email addresses must be unique across our entire AroFlo database.

Import settings explained
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
| Status | On / Off - Turn the import for this supplier on or off. If you need to turn off the import, please ensure you have finished the setup. |
| Pre-Configured Suppliers (supplier invoice imports only) |
Select from one of our ever-growing list of pre-configured supported suppliers. Supplier invoices in CSV format If the supplier in the Pre-Configured Suppliers list says 'CSV', you will need to ensure that your supplier is sending invoices in CSV format (not PDF). |
| From Filter | The 'From' email domain is used to determine which supplier to map the invoice against. Each supplier or client will send invoices from a different domain. For example, emails from Rexel are sent from @rexel.com.au. If a supplier or client sends emails from multiple domains, you will need to enter each domain on a new line: @ideal.com.au @idealelectrical.com.au Remember that if you want to forward emails to be uploaded automatically, you need to include your own sending domain in the From Filter box. |
| Default Task Type (work order imports only) |
Nominate which task type you want created from this client's work orders. |
| Client Business Unit on Import (work order imports only) |
The business unit the task will be created in. This is useful where you have clients that are shared across business units. |
| User on Import | Nominate a user who will be forwarded a copy of the email after AroFlo processes it. If the user you select here doesn't have an email recorded on their user card, import-related emails will go to the business unit manager. |
