Email message for PO requisition workflow approval

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Is it possible to have fields added to the email message that is sent as part of the workflow approval process?  It seems that the vendor ID is available but the vendor name isn't.  Any tricks to this?

    Hello Deanne,

    This is correct in that there isn't any 'vendor name' field that can be added to the PO Requisition email notification that gets sent to approvers.

    I tried to manually add the 'Vendor {%Vendor Name%}' field, that I took from the Vendor Approval email, but then I get a message that the field is invalid.

    As always, I'd recommend making this a product suggestion to get more fields in the Workflow 2.0 email notifications:

    Just what I found too.  Thanks for verifying that it doesn't seem possible

    Unfortunately, that the system seems to only avail Vendor ID for most transaction-related workflows. But for Vendor Approval workflow, for instance, both the ID and Name are available.

    That's what I'm finding, but it's hard to convince the client - they think we just type it in!!!!!

    Why doesn't the vendor name appear on the PO requisition?

    I think you cannot get the Vendor Name, since only the Vendor ID is available in the Document Lines.
