The Self-Service PruchasingConfirm Receipts Workflow Select Orders process in Purchasing must be running in order to use the Confirm Receipts workflow. The Confirm Receipts workflow sends notifications through the Web, e-mail, or Notification Details Web page (accessible through the Notifications Summary menu in Purchasing) to requestors or buyers who create requisitions in Purchasing or iProcurement. It lets people know they should have received an item.
The Confirm Receipts workflow sends notifications for items with a Destination or Deliver-To Type of Expense, a Routing of Direct Delivery, and a Need-By date that is equal to or later than today's date.
Submit the Workflow Background Engine before you submit the Confirm Receipts Workflow Select Orders process. In the Submit Requests window, in the System Administrator responsibility, select Workflow Background Engine in the Name field. See: To Schedule Background Engines.
