Setting Up Email for Approvals Notification

Administrators must specify the email server details before others can enable email notification. The email server details for approvals notifications come from the EPM Registry, which are set using the EPM System Configurator under Common Settings.

To specify the email server, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Security Configuration Guide.

Approvals notification are enabled on the Application Settings page. After email notification is enabled, users receive email when they become owners of planning units, or are specified as a user to notify. This feature is available for SMTP email systems only.

Note:

Approvals email notification must be enabled by the application owner. If they are not enabled by the application owner, then email notifications will not be sent when other users promote or perform other actions on the planning unit, even if the administrator has enabled approvals notifications.

To enable approvals notification, see Setting Application Defaults.
