Set Company Alerts (Window)

How Do I...

When you select the Set Alert button on the Alerts tab of the Action Items window, Sage 50 displays this window. The Set Company Alerts window allows you to set alerts for employees, vendors, customers, inventory items, and General Ledger accounts that meet certain criteria.

You can set a different alert for each line.

These are the criteria for the alerts:

  • Email: Select this check box to generate email messages that notify customers, vendors, employees, or others of this alert. Once you select the Email check box, fill in the email information at the bottom of this window.
  • Apply To: Select customers, vendors, employees, inventory items, or general ledger accounts from the drop-down list.
  • From/To: Use this to select a range; use the Lookup button to see your choices.
  • Type: This lists the type of alerts you can set, depending on what you entered in the Apply to box.
  • Condition: Use this to select the circumstance (more than, less than, equal to, and so on) when you want to be notified with the alert.
  • Amount: Enter the amount as part of the condition.

Sage 50 displays the description of the selected alert in the Alert Description field.

The toolbar at the top of the window contains the following buttons: Cancel, OK, Row, and Help.
