Entry and Approval Emails

[Former Member]

I am doing testing on a production system (yes I like to live dangerously) and am using entry and approval to enter data. In the Administrator -> Set Application defaults, I set emails off. When I enter data, the emails are stil sent. How do I prevent this happening?

Thanks

Hi Cliff,

In Administrator -> Set Application defaults, there is an "Enable Email Links" option, but the purpose is not to enable/disable sending of emails. As stated in [help.sap.com|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_stm75/helpdata/en/e6/ae89a04cf34e16a35b8d83b0ea9c07/content.htm]:

Allow users to receive a link that directs them to a view within the application. Use the Enable Email links option to allow links to appear in the following types of content: in the body of email alerts, in a report that is mailed to them via the Mail link, in a published operational review. This is the default setting.
When a user clicks the link, it takes the user to the view within a component of the application. Users who click links to the application must have access to the SAP NetWeaver CE server and must have access to the components and contexts for the view they are linking to. Otherwise, that user does not have access to the live report.

So, in your case, just the links in the emails sent will be disabled...

Enabling/disabling email notifications is something that has to be done by each user individually. This can be done in the Home page, under My Alerts->Subscribe. This setting in particular (Notification) is valid across all contexts, so the user only needs to set it once.

Hope this helps!
