Purchase Order Notifications & Sent Date Tracking
James King
Current behaviour:
Only the PO creator receives a notification when a Purchase Order is fully approved.
Sub-Program Managers and Business Managers are not notified when a PO reaches final approval.
There is no field or timestamp showing when a PO has been emailed to the creditor.
Problem:
Sub-Program Managers must repeatedly check the Financial Management dashboard to see if POs are approved.
This creates inefficiency and delays in sending POs to creditors.
Requested improvements:
Add an email and/or dashboard notification to Sub-Program Managers when a PO reaches final approval.
Optionally notify the final approver as well.
Add a “Date Sent to Creditor” field or timestamp when “Email Creditor” is used.
Use case:
Schools where the Business Manager is the final approver, but Sub-Program Managers handle follow-up and sending.
