Email - Invite External Accountant Scenario

If you get the following message after clicking on Invite External Accountant, then follow these steps.

Email is not set up for the action you are trying to take. Ask your administrator to either add the Invite External Accountant scenario to your email account, or to specify a default account for email scenarios.


  1. Search for Email Scenario Assignment



  2. In my case I have email set up so my email is showing in the Email Scenario Assignment window already. If it is not showing or blank, then you need to go through the process of setting up email yet. 

    Click on Assign scenarios and then select Invite External Account > OK.


    Email Scenario Assignment window should show the scenarios by email accounts now.
