What is this about?
People are moving to online, instantaneous interactions: IM, Facebook, Twitter
Emails are less used for personal contacts But business users are still living in the 20th century:
post, emails, phone, manual data entry It’s time for businesses to harness the modern
communication channels Real-time electronic data interchange!

Fine-tuning: payment options
Paypal payments enabled simply by adding a paypal account ID on the Company form

@odony
Fine-tuning: email templates
EDI uses regular email templates that can be edited… and used for other needs
Placeholder assistant is available to insert dynamic values
Be careful and test your templates!
@odony
Fine-tuning: opt-out
Customers without emails will not be notified Customers can be selectively opted-out Deleting an email template will disable all
notifications for that template The EDI notification can also been disabled on the
corresponding workflow OpenERP 7.0 will have an explicit EDI notification
