Notifying the user that the receipt of the goods has been posted

Posted on by 312
Hello everyone, 
 
I have a question about notifications in Business Central Cloud. My users wants to get notifications (via mail and message inside Business Central) about posting Purchase Receipt to the Purchase Order they made. So to be more precise - employee from Purchase Department is creating the purchase order and then warehouse receipt and when employee from warehouse is posting Purchase Receipt, employee from Purchase Department wants to get message automatically. Is there any chance to do it in BC Cloud using standard? Maybe you know some apps from appsource which can handle this issue? 
 
Thank you in advance!

    Hi, here are two simple examples, hoping to give you some hints.
    Send an email from AL:
     
    Send a message in Teams using Power Automate
     
     
    Thanks.

    You could potentially build a Power Automate function linked to the Posted Purchase Receipt, where when a new record is created an email is sent to the Purchaser (Salesperson/Purchaser Code) assigned to the Purchase Order.  Maybe attach the purchase receipt as a PDF.
     
    Can I ask the reasoning for this?  Does the purchase department already have the Vendor's invoice and they are waiting on goods receipt to post it?  Are they responsible for notifying Sales of inventory available?  I would think an Order Fulfilment process or report might be a preferred option.
