Learn how to streamline your process for managing email orders from distributors to improve efficiency and reduce errors. ## Understanding Email Order Formats Email orders from distributors can be received in different formats, either as text in the body of the email or as an attachment. It is important to understand the different formats and how to handle them efficiently to ensure smooth order processing. When the distributor includes the purchase order (PO) in the body of the email, the order details can be directly extracted and processed. This format is convenient as it eliminates the need for opening attachments and manually extracting information. ![sample PO](https://supplierhub.ordermygear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/sample%20PO-2.png?width=683&height=744&name=sample%20PO-2.png) On the other hand, some distributors prefer to send the PO as an attachment. In this case, it is necessary to open the attachment and extract the relevant information. It is important to have a system in place to handle different types of attachments and extract data accurately.![sample PDF PO](https://supplierhub.ordermygear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/sample%20PDF%20PO-2.png?width=737&height=879&name=sample%20PDF%20PO-2.png) By understanding the different email order formats and implementing efficient processes, you can streamline the handling of email orders from distributors. This not only improves efficiency but also reduces the chances of errors or misinterpretation of order details. ### Popular Events ### Social Media [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com) [Follow us on Twitter](https://www.twitter.com) [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com) ## Read On [![](https://supplierhub.ordermygear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Onesource%20for%20developers-2.png?width=352&name=Onesource%20for%20developers-2.png)](https://supplierhub.ordermygear.com/supplier-hub/onesource-guides) #### [Getting Started: OneSource for Developers](https://supplierhub.ordermygear.com/supplier-hub/onesource-guides) [OneSource](http://dc-onesource.com) offers easy access to PromoStandards data from a single location using a robust API that...
