Hello,

Is there any standard AX feature which can be used to send reminders to approvers to approve the workflow assigned to them if they fail to do so within a week of workflow submission date? so for example, whatever workflow assigned in a week (Monday to Sunday) should be reminded to manager on Next Monday morning if they haven't approved it.

Also if approver doesn't approve it in next 2 days of this reminder, system should send email to some higher authority as an escalation Reminder. As per our earlier example, it would send email to higher authority on Wednesday Morning for all the workflows that were submitted in the last week (Mon-Sun) and not yet approved.

RE: Workflow approval Reminder

it might be easier to just get Sys Admin to review all open workflows every Monday.

Otherwise maybe run a report daily/weekly/ad hoc with different filter options.

Too many workflows and notifications impact performance and various log files so if you introduce more then all the more need to manage the history.

How have you configured the alert to be delivered/notified? e.g pop up, or email or ... e.g. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg732160.aspx

Hello,

Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your reply Yasir. I too believe so, but want to know the approach i should take for customization in case if someone has already done similar thing.

RE: Workflow approval Reminder

Dear Lamv....thanks for such a nice idea to introduce in AX....but i think still there is no by default function in AX which fulfill your requirement. if is there any option then let us know...

i think its all belongs to customization in current features of Ax
