Receive notification when AP supplier invoices are pending your approval

To receive notifications that an AP supplier 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 supplier invoice approvals on the Configure Accounts Payable page.

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