Workflow Purchase Order: Auto Approval from Outlook emails

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hello all,

We are working on AX 2009, and we would like to activate the Workflow of Purchase Order approval.

To improve, the validation process, we need to developp new process to Approve automatically the workflow from email notification ( Without login in AX)

The Manager will receive email with (PO number, amont...) and 2 Button (Approve and Reject).

When user approve or reject in the email, this information will be exported in AX to update the Purchase Order workflow status.

As we are in the first step of project, can you tel me, if some of you use this automatic process, or if you have any idea about the developpment required. We use Outlook and AX 2009.

Thank you for your ideas and help.

Have a nice day

    It's supported in AX 2012, so you can take inspiration there (see AX 2012 R2 White Paper: Workflow Approval via Email).

    It maybe a good idea to upgrade to a newer version of AX, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
