Use Transaction Notification in Approval Procedures

[Former Member]

Hi

I want to use the "SBO_SP_TransactionNotification" Stored procedure in one of my approval procedures. I have implemented a approval procedure based on certain criteria when a "PURCHASE ORDER" is created. Now i want to send an email out to certain users when a approval is needed for a PO.

I m not sure if transaction Notification is being used when Approval procedure are involved. For all POs that does not require an approval , my code for emailing uses in the SP is working fine.

Has anybody came across this scenario? pls help.

thanks

SBO_SP_TransactionNotification is not compatible with approval procedure. This is clear mentioned in SAP Notes. You may not use this SP in associated with approval. I think there are alternative ways to achieve your goal.

I need to know more regarding your requirement. Do you need a email sending out to approver whenever an approval request added? If that is the case, the user alert could be used. However, an approver need to log in to B1 in order to receive those emails.

No. i want to send an email / alert for the approver even if he is not logged into B1 (when he has documents pending). Only once for each document that needs approval.

However, none of current tool would give you that flexibility. You may post a DRQ here:
