Receive notification when AP purchase invoices are pending your approval

To receive notifications that an AP purchase invoice is awaiting your approval, you can enable email notifications on your Preferences page. For this to work, your admin must enable email notifications for AP purchase invoice approvals on the Configure Accounts Payable page.

If you’re someone who submits AP purchase invoices, you do not need to do any setup to receive notifications when your AP purchase invoices are approved or declined. As long as your admin enabled email notifications, you’re notified automatically when an approver acts on an AP purchase invoice. 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.
