Summary
Correspondance includes emails sent from the system and calls notes
Correspondance has links in the system. For example an email or call note can be recorded related to a transaction (Eg Sales Order or invoice) - this will result in a link to (1) the transaction (2) the company you spoke to (3) the employee who entered the correspondance (4) a contact at the debtor or creditor that was spoke to / emailed
Correspondance may require a follow up. Flag the correspondance if it requires a follow up, you can optionally assign to a person, set a date and time and also set a priority on the followup. A master list of followups is available across all entities, more focussed ones are available on debtor and creditor forms (Across all debtors / Creditors).
Follow Up of Correspondance
Any correspondance can be flagged for later followup. A list of items to follow up makes it easy to stay on top of items that need attention
Follow up across all Leads, Customers or Suppliers
The lead, customer and supplier forms have a Follow up list focussed on only the type of entity being viewed.
Below is the lead example.
