Merge Fields for Purchase Templates

When creating an Purchase Template, there will be a long list of Merge Fields provided to you, which you can insert into your email template and purchase PDF template. Merge Fields allow you to insert a form that will be automatically replaced when you create the invoice, allowing you to use this as a template for any number of purchases.

For example, if you were to enter [purchase.vendor.company] into an invoice template, this will be automatically replaced by the name of the Vendor you are invoicing.

Simply click on the Merge Field to copy it to your clipboard, and then paste it wherever you like into the text field.
