Steps to Test Email Manager

Tip:  Regardless if this field is selected or not, an alert will appear on the Accounts Payable screen if requisitions are pending the approval of the user currently logged into the system.

Note:  The notification emails for approvals use the verbiage as entered in the Approver Message field, while the recalled requisition emails use the verbiage in the Requisition Recall Message field.  If applicable, notification emails to approvers for requisitions awaiting approval are sent each time a user in Accounts Payable exits the Requisition Entry option after submitting requisitions or exits the Requisition Approvals option after approving requisitions; in Web Link the notification emails are sent after submitting each requisition and processing each requisition approval.  If the Send Email to Approvers field is selected and the Send First Email Only to Approvers field is not selected, a notification email is sent to approvers each time requisitions are pending their approval, whether from a user submitting one or more requisitions or from requisitions advancing through the approval process.  For example, if User A enters and submits 10 requisitions (all for the same approver) in Accounts Payable and then exits the Requisition Entry option, and User B enters and submits 1 requisition (for the same approver as User A) and then exits the Requisition Entry option, 2 notification emails will be sent to the approver.  However, if User A had closed the Requisition Entry option in Accounts Payable after entering and submitting each of the 10 requisitions, 11 notification emails would have been sent to the approver instead (10 from User A and 1 from User B).  If the Send Email to Approvers field is selected, notification emails for a recalled requisition are sent right after a requisition is recalled, and are sent each time a requisition is recalled, no matter if the Send First Email Only to Approvers field is selected or not.

Note:  If the Send First Email Only to Approvers field is selected, the Send Email to Approvers field will be selected by default if not already selected.  Also, if the Send First Email Only to Approvers and the Send Email to Approvers fields are both selected, and then the Send Email to Approvers field is unselected, the system will unselect the Send First Email Only to Approvers field by default.

Note:  If applicable, notification emails to submitters are sent only for requisitions which received final approval or were rejected, and are sent once a user in Accounts Payable exits the Requisition Approvals option; in Web Link the notification emails are sent after processing each requisition approval.  If the Send Email to Submitters field is selected and the Send First Email Only to Submitters field is not selected, a notification email is sent to submitters each time a requisition has been processed, using the verbiage as entered in the Single Requisition Approved Message field or the Single Requisition Rejected Message field.

Note:  If the Send First Email Only to Submitters field is selected, the notification emails use the verbiage as entered in the Multiple Requisition Changes Message field.  If the Send First Email Only to Submitters field is selected, the Send Email to Submitters field will be selected by default if not already selected.  Also, if the Send First Email Only to Submitters and the Send Email to Submitters fields are both selected, and then the Send Email to Submitters field is unselected, the system will unselect the Send First Email Only to Submitters field by default.

Note:  The notification emails to submitters for requisition changes use the verbiage as entered in the Changed Requisition to Submitter Message field, and if the Default Requisition Form Report field is completed for the applicable approval tree (within the Requisition Options option), the updated requisition will be attached as a .PDF file to the email.  If applicable, emails to submitters for changed requisitions are sent each time a user in Accounts Payable exits the Requisition Approvals option after approving requisitions; in Web Link the notification emails are sent after processing each requisition approval.

Note:  The notification emails to prior approvers for requisition changes use the verbiage as entered in the Changed Requisition to Prior Approvers Message field, and if the Default Requisition Form Report field is completed for the applicable approval tree (within the Requisition Options option), the updated requisition will be attached as a .PDF file to the email.  If applicable, emails to approvers for changed requisitions are sent each time a user in Accounts Payable exits the Requisition Approvals option after approving requisitions; in Web Link the notification emails are sent after processing each requisition approval.

Note:  The verbiage in this field is only used for requisitions that are fully processed and approved if the Send Email to Submitters field is selected and the Send First Email Only to Submitters field is not selected.  If desired, enter #### in the message to include the requisition number.

Note:  The verbiage in this field is only used for requisitions that are rejected if the Send Email to Submitters field is selected and the Send First Email Only to Submitters field is not selected.  If desired, enter #### in the message to include the requisition number.

Note:  The verbiage in this field is only used for requisitions that are rejected if the Send Email to Submitters field is selected and the Send First Email Only to Submitters field is also selected.

Note:  If desired, enter #### in the message to include the requisition number.

Note:  If desired, enter #### in the message to include the requisition number.

Note:  If desired, enter #### in the message to include the requisition number, or enter COMMENTS in the message to include the comments of the user who changed the requisition.

Tip:  If the Default Requisition Form Report field is completed for the applicable approval tree (within the Requisition Options option), the updated requisition will automatically be attached as a .PDF file to the email.

Note:  If desired, enter #### in the message to include the requisition number, or enter COMMENTS in the message to include the comments of the user who changed the requisition.

Tip:  If the Default Requisition Form Report field is completed for the applicable approval tree (within the Requisition Options option), the updated requisition will automatically be attached as a .PDF file to the email.

Note:  If applicable, receiving notification emails are sent each time a receiving is saved in Accounts Payable or Web Link (if applicable).

Note:  If desired, enter #### in the message to include the purchase order number.

Note:  A notification email is sent to approvers each time leave requests are pending their approval, whether from a user submitting one or more leave requests or from leave requests advancing through the approval path.  The notification emails for approvals use the verbiage as entered in the Approver Message field, while the recalled leave request emails use the verbiage in the Leave Request Recall Message field.  If applicable, notification emails to approvers for leave requests awaiting approval are sent each time a user in Payroll exits the Leave Request Entry option after submitting leave requests or after processing each leave request approval within the Leave Request Approvals option; in Web Link the notification emails are sent after submitting each leave request and processing each leave request approval.  If the Send Email to Approvers field is selected, notification emails for a recalled leave request are sent right after a leave request is recalled.

Note:  A notification email is sent to a submitter for each leave request which received final approval or was rejected, and is sent after processing each leave request approval in either Payroll or Web Link.  The notification emails for submitters use the verbiage as entered in the Leave Request Approved Message field or the Leave Request Rejected Message field.

Note:  A notification email is sent to the specified user(s) for each leave request which received final approval, and is sent after processing each leave request approval in either Payroll or Web Link.  The notification emails for users who edit substitutes use the verbiage as entered in the Edit Substitutes Message field.
