Purchasing Requisitions Rejected Alert Configuration Dialog Box

If you do not use an approval workflow for approving purchase requisitions, use this dialog box to enable and configure alerts to be sent when a purchase requisition is rejected.

Location

To display the dialog box, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Configuration > General > Company Alerts.
  2. In the Folders field on the Company Alerts Configuration form, select Purchasing.
  3. In the Alerts grid, click in the Options field for the Requisitions Rejected alert, and click the icon in the field. The Requisitions Rejected alert does not display in the Alerts grid if you use an approval workflow for approving purchase requisitions. You select an approval workflow to use for purchase requisitions on the General tab in Configuration > Purchasing & Inventory > Company Settings.

Field Description
Alert Rule Name This field displays the names of existing alert rules; or, if you are creating a new alert rule, enter the name of the rule. You can change the name of an existing rule; however, all alert rule names must be unique.
Enabled Select this option to enable the rule. When the alert is Active, this feature allows you to enable only selected rules, without having to delete any unwanted rules. In other words, if the alert is Active, then Vision will run any one of its Enabled rules. If the alert is not Active, then Vision will not run any of its rules, even if rules are Enabled.
Languages This column displays if you use the Multilingual feature. Use this column to select the language for this alert. Only employees with the selected language receive the alert. However, if you leave this column blank, all employees receive this alert regardless of their designated language. For example, if you create an email alert for English US and English UK, then only the users who have English US or English UK in the Language field in the Employee Info Center receive that message. The system administrator must set up a separate alert rule for Spanish employees to receive a message in Spanish. The Language field displays <languages selected> if any languages are selected.
Send To
Requestor's Supervisor Select this option if you want to send the alert to the requestor's supervisor.

Email Options If you selected Email for the delivery option, these fields are activated.
