Email Event Preferences

Email Notification is an optional service to which you can subscribe at any time. With this service, you can receive email messages notifying you when the status of your SAP documents has changed. For example, you could receive an email when a purchase order is created for your requisition or when your journal voucher is approved. You can subscribe to email event notification for one or more of the following events:

• A requisition is approved, rejected, changed, or needs approval.
• A purchase order is created from your requisition.
• A journal voucher is approved or rejected by CAO.

Who Can Use It?

SAP Email Event Notification can be used by anyone creating or approving a journal voucher or a requisition either in the SAPgui or SAPweb. Supervisors also have the ability to maintain subscriptions on behalf of other users in their department.

How Do I Subscribe?

1. Click the check box to the left of the event to receive email notification.

2. Click the Save Changes button.

Note: To deselect, uncheck the box and click the Save Changes button. Your changes will take effect shortly after the 11am and 3pm data feeds.

3. Click the Home link (upper right) to return to the Settings tab.

What Happens After I Subscribe?

Shortly after you submit your email notification request, you will begin receiving an email for each requisition line item and journal voucher that you submit for approval.

You will receive another email if the requisition line item or journal voucher is approved/rejected and when the requisition is made into a purchase order. Go into your inbox to review the status, and to change and resubmit the requisition or journal voucher if necessary.

Requisition approvers who have subscribed to the service will receive email notification for requisitions awaiting their approval.

Note: An approver may receive email notification of a requisition awaiting approval and not find the requisition in the workflow inbox. This happens when another approver has already reserved that requisition and taken it out of workflow.

001 Settings

If you are a supervisor or addressee responsible for cost objects, you have the option of having the 001 report delivered to you in paper, email, or not sent to you at all. The default is paper.

Note: If you select email, the report will be sent to the email address listed on the "001 Settings" page. If more than one cost object is changed, you will receive one email for all changes, and one email for all new cost objects. See below if you don't have an email address set up in SAP.

Who Can Use It?

Supervisors and all addressees who currently receive a hard copy of the 001 report.

How Do I Subscribe?

1. Click the radio button to the left of the output option under Output Descriptions to select it.

2. Click the Save Changes button.

Note: To deselect, uncheck the box and click the Save Changes button. Your changes will take effect on the next day the 001 report is run.

3. Click the Home link (upper right) to return to the Settings tab.
