Question
When is an email notification sent to a POLine's Interested Users?
Answer
The notification for a PO Line's Interested Users is sent as follows:
- Electronic materials:
- "Notify User Upon Receiving/Activation" triggers the "Interested In Letter" when the task, found in the "Electronic Resources Activation Task List", is activated, and "Done".
- For Physical materials,
- "Notify User Upon Receiving/Activation" offers two options:
- Receiving: Notification is sent when the item is received in the Acquisition Department.
- If the item is still "In Process Items" (can be found in "Receiving in Department"), email is sent when the task is "Done".
- Hold Item", a Physical Item Request will be created when the new item went through Scan In at the item location's Circulation Desk.
- Receiving: Notification is sent when the item is received in the Acquisition Department.
- "Notify User Upon Receiving/Activation" offers two options:
- Note:
- "Notify upon cancelation" - means that the Interested User will be notified, if the POL is canceled.
- If the PO line was created via a purchase request, the Notify user upon receiving/activation and Notify upon cancelation are enabled by default. If the purchase request was a physical type, the hold item checkbox on the interested users tab will not be enabled.
