The Project Purchase Order modules has a way to send email requests for Purchase Order adjustments. This allows employees to quickly send requests to directors who have authority to approve and make those changes.
The Project Purchase Order notifications ONLY go to people on the Notification Template's Recipient List. Any person who is to receive this notification MUST be added to that recipient list.
Project Purchase Order notifications are not triggered automatically. They are sent using the "Send Email for PO Adjustment Request" function found in the Project Purchase Order Toolkit.
Project Purchase Order notifications do NOT include any information automatically. Any field that's information must be added to the notification, must be added to the notification template using the Auto-Insert feature. Since the PO Number, PO Adjustment Request, and Adjustment Reason fields are critical for these specific notifications, those fields should be added to the notification.
The notification templates are created in the General > Notification Setup module. When the Project Purchase Order toolkit function is used, the user selects which template to use.
