ORDERAUTHBYEMAIL - Enable the Order Authorization by Email

Enable the Purchase Order Authorization by Email

Affected Window: w_po_order_detail

Note: This Switch does not have Yes/No functionality.

This Switch allows users to authorize Purchase Orders by e-mail if they have the 'Enable Authorization by Email' checkbox selected in their entry in the Authorization Master. The Config Other field is used to define the address where the Rest Service that handles authorizations will be hosted.

Note: For this functionality to go into effect, the 'Enable Authorization by Email' checkbox has to be selected in the Authorization Master for the user in question. For more information, refer to Authorization Master, General Tab.

Please see the Configuration section below for more information on how to set up the database connection.

Note: The Email and Authorization can also be utilized on a mobile device.

The following user has been set up for the Order Authorization. Notice the Authorization by Email checkbox has been selected.

A Purchase Order has been created and released for authorization.

With Authorization by Email enabled, the designated user receives an Email to authorize the Purchase Order if they have the required authorization level.

Selecting the Authorize Order button will authorize the order using the Rest Service located at the address defined in the Config Other field.

The Purchase Order has now been authorized.

If a user attempts to authorize a Purchase Order that has already been authorized, the following error will be displayed:
