Receive notification when AP purchase invoices are pending your approval

To receive notifications that an AP purchase invoice is awaiting your approval, enable email notifications on your Preferences page.

Your admin must enable email notifications for AP purchase invoice approvals on the Configure Accounts Payable page.

If you submit AP purchase invoices for approval, you're automatically notified when an approver acts on an AP purchase invoice as long as your admin enabled email notifications. For AP purchase invoice submitters, these notifications cannot be turned off.

Are you using Purchasing approvals instead of Accounts Payable? Learn how to enable notifications created in Purchasing.
