Error 'The report has successfully output to e-mail' message appears, but no email is output

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

In Sage 50cloud Accounts or Sage 50cloud Payroll, when sending a report or layout by email the message, 'The report has successfully output to e-mail' appears, however no email is shown in either drafts, inbox or sent, depending on your email settings. This is because, in your email settings, for the 'Email message should contain' setting, you can set a group to determine when a new email is created. If a group selected here contains a header that is set to either True for Suppress Printing or False for Visible, the email will not output. This can also occur if the group settings need to be refreshed.

Resolution

  1. Browse to the report or layout you are trying to email, then right-click and select Edit. Read more > 
  2. On the menu bar, click Report, then click Email Settings.
  3. In the Email message should contain drop-down, make a note of the current group then click a different group.
