2. Create a new entry.
3. Pick a Mail Box to use for sending emails from metasfresh.

5. In the field Column User To, either pick Ansprechpartner (= Contact) or Rechnungskontakt (= Bill-to contact) depending on whose email should be used.

   Note: Make sure the email address of the respective contact is provided in the entry of the associated business partner.

6. Pick a Document Base Type for which the previously defined contact shall be notified upon its creation, e.g., Sales Order, AR Invoice, Material Delivery, etc.
7. Optional: Pick a specific Process.
8. Optional: Pick a Doc Sub Type.
