Setting up buyer messages

With buyer messages, you can give the buyer specific information about a purchase order, purchase order detail line, a receipt of goods, a vendor, or an invoice. In addition, you can send a general message, not related to purchase orders. Be aware that buyer messages are not application-generated.
