Note:
In the meantime, mail domains with umlauts (mutated vowels, such as ä, ö, ü) or special characters are permitted. Email addresses with umlauts, both in the local part (before the "@") and in the part of the email domain, are supported by FUTURA Engineering . However, since not all mail servers support them, it may be that mails cannot be delivered. Therefore, recommend companies that give you an e-mail address with umlauts or special characters in the domain, better one without using it.
Attention:
If no SAP supplier no. is inserted, it is treated as a CpD supplier (SAP wording: “one-time customer”) when the purchasing transaction are transferred to SAP!
