NOTIFY_PO_AUTH_COMPLETED

@Jackie P Thanks !

Another thing you need to have the notifications sent to the user is to set the flag ‘Notify User’ under Purchase Authorization Basic Data.

 

Hi @NovPeterR  

Is this a “notify any user impacted by authorisations made by this user”, kind of thing?  

I’m grappling with this setup (admitted in Apps9 but the principal is the same, I guess) where the Buyer on the PO is not getting notification emails when POs are authorised but they (Buyer) are not, of course, the Authorizer.

Thanks

Thanks, @NovPeterR #

I was thinking more of the “NOTIFY_PO_AUTH_COMPLETED” rather than the “NEXT_AUTH_PUR_ORDER"

We have fairly simple Purchase authorisation in place which is just one step - authorised by Finance.  I’m trying to get an email notification sent to the Buyer on the PO when Finance have authorised. 

I have today, whilst thinking about this, decided it might just be easier to get the Buyer to “Subscribe” to changes to the PO!

If I remember correct the notfication is sent to the user next in queue to authorize. So the user need to be set up as an authorizer to get notifications.

Except that I can’t subscribe to Authorization! LOL

That’s correct, you cannot subscribe to Authorizations, nor can you subscribe to the status change of the PO.

This is more like what you are looking for I guess?

I believe you CAN subscribe to status changes on a PO?  I need to re-test.  

 

Your latter screenshot “Notification Schedule - Purchase Authorisation” is exactly what I set up.  What is interesting - and may well resolve the issue for me - is that our Buyer is not set up on the Authorization / Pur Auth Basic Data section … because, of course, he is NOT an Authorizer.   
 

Fingers crossed…

 

Thank you

In IFS10 and below you can subscribe on Status changes, that is correct.
Somehow they removed that in Cloud where I looked. :-/

When reading the help text it seems like the user need to be set up as an authorizer, but that does not really make sense.
Guess you need to test to see what happens..

Good luck!
