Create a custom alert for a supplier

You can create a customised alert to appear when you or your colleagues create a purchase order and select a specific supplier. It's a simple and effective way to share important information and timely reminders. ​Let's do this now.

NOTE: This is feature is available in Sage 50 Accounts Professional v27 and above.

1. Open Sage 50 Accounts then click Suppliers.
2. Double-click the supplier record, or click the supplier then click Edit.
3. Click Alerts then click New.
4. Select if you want the alert to display as a pop-up message, or be embedded in the window.
5. Under Description, enter the message you want to appear for the alert.
6. Click Save.

The custom alert is now listed in the Alert tab where you can see its description, when it was created, and its active status.

To amend a custom alert, highlight it, then click Edit.

When you next create a purchase order and select this supplier, your message appears.
