How to create a Email Notification in SRM5.0 ?

[Former Member]

Dear SRM Experts,

This is my requirement:

Requirement: If Delivery date for a PO is approaching, system should send notification E-mails to approvers and PO initiators. Program execution and dates for notifications will be affiliate specific.

Each affiliate should be able to define text for E-mail notification and number of days before delivery date when reminder should be sent.

We need to send an email notification if Delivery date is approaching that is 3 days before delivery date,if no action is taken then

PO needs to be locked .

Kindly help  me regading the requirement.

Thanks&Regards,

Chira,

This need to be done by custom program and custom table and the program need to be scheduled to run periodically in the background. Can you give more information regarding locking the PO if there is no action, are you refering to Deleting the PO

Thank you,

hello Suresh,

Thanks for your reply..

Can you explain little clearly like what needs to be saved in Custom table..

Locking means Locking the approval not deleting the PO,that means after delivery date it should not be able to Approve .

Chitra,

you can have one record per affiliate in the custom table with Standard Text name and no of days and in your program based on the text name and no of days you should able to send notification also for locking the PO from approval the work item can be deleted(by program) so that the approver can no longer approve the PO.

Thanks,

Suresh
