Communicating Purchase Orders to suppliers as PDF documents via email has been around for quite some time but there are some features that I find are under-utilized and are often not presented to customers. For example, did you know that you can have every PO copied to a generic email address? What about attaching documents to the email such as Terms and Conditions or any other files? Create a backup copy of PO Communication email Oracle has the capability to send a copy of the email communicating the PO to supplier by sending a copy of the email to an internal email address.

Most transactions generated in the Oracle Procurement System must be approved by a person(s) with appropriate spending authority before they are considered complete. Oracle uses workflow to manage the transaction approval process. There is a feature in Oracle that allows you to delegate or share your approval workflows. Oracle Procurement allows both Vacation Rules(Delegation) and Worklist access . Vacation Rules - Delegate/Redirect or auto-respond to notifications. i.e., Selecting someone to act on your behalf for a specified period of time during your vacation. Worklist Access - Specify which users can view and act upon your notifications. i.e., The ability to give someone access to your worklist, to allow colleagues with similar authority to act for each other at any time, or for emergency back up. See the following pages for step-by-step instructions (including screen shots) to help you: - View and Maintain Vacation Rules (temporary d
