      Hello Expert,

      There is someway of view the total value of the PR position in the notification?

      Thanks in advanced!

      Dear Yamuna,

      Is it possible to maintain the Sender E-mail Address for these E-mail Notifications.

      Because currently the sender E-mail Address refers to the fall back email address maintained in 'Manage your solution'.

      Best Regards,
      Anup

      Hi Yamuna,

      is all of this also valid for S/4 on premise? Or only for Cloud?

      Thanks!

      Hello,

      I am not getting the notifications when a PR/PO gets rejected. Do you guys know where Do I maintain this? I would like to have a notification to the requestor where he/her could see that the Pr has been rejected. I am in a 1909 onpremise s4 system

      Thank you very much

      Hello Simon,

      The rejection notification is currently implemented only for Purchase requisition as of now.
      That means, notification to the requester appears where he/her could see that the PR has been rejected.
      There is nothing specific to be done here.
      Please raise a ticket if its not working for you.

      Regards,
      Yamuna

      Hi Yamuna ,

      I have activated standard flexible workflow for PR header level approval : WS02000458. I need notification sent to requester/Creator whenever PR is Rejected.  I created template YY1_02000458_COMPLETE_NEGATIVE. But email notification to the requester is not generated when PR header level is Rejected in FIORI . How to generate Rejected notification for Flexible workflow : WS02000458 , TASK  TS02000702 ( Overall Release of purchase requisition) ?

       

      Does Push notification configurations is something i'm missing ?

      Please note I also created YY1_02000458_CRT_19 which is working as  expected.

       

      Thanks,

      Subha
