Three ways are available to send out milestone notifications:
Set up a batch process that runs daily to search for milestones that are due for notification on the current date and then send online milestone notifications.
The milestone batch process enables you to automate the Milestone Notification process.
Use the Milestone Notification inquiry page to search for and send notifications for milestones that satisfy your selection criteria.
Send the notification from the Award Milestone page.
Oracle PeopleSoft delivers Notification Composer Framework to manage the setup and administration of notifications in one central location. Once you have adopted the Notification Composer feature, you must use it to create new notifications and manage your existing notifications.
For more information about Notification Composer Framework, see Understanding Notification Composer.
Use the Milestone Notification page (GM_MILESTONE_NOTI) to search for a milestone using parameters, and determine whether to send an email notification to the appropriate roles.

Set up the process scheduler to run the Milestone Notification process automatically. The program searches for incomplete milestones (milestone status not equal to ‘COM’) that are due on the current date, and then sends email notifications. Notifications are not sent for completed milestones.
You are not required to enter business unit, milestone type, or milestone status. If they are not entered, then the batch process searches for all business units, milestone types, and milestone statuses.
For the Milestone Notification process to run, you must update the values associated with the system-delivered GM_URL. Modify the value in the URL field with your current database URL address.
