Good Morning!
I am hoping someone can help with my alert issue.  I have never created an alert and a user in Finance would like to be alerted via e-mail whenever a PO goes to "receive" status.  I tried to do this for her but she is not receiving the e-mail alert.  I went to Procurement & Sourcing ->All Purchase Orders.  I right clicked in the form and clicked on "create alert rule".  I created a query for all purchase orders in receive status.  I put in her e-mail address and closed.  She is not receiving an alert e-mail.  Below is the "overview" of the alert I created, the screen print of the "general" tab, and the select query.  
Please advise as to what I am doing wrong and how to correct this problem.  See attachments below.
Thanks so much for your help!

Do you need to wait for a new movement to Receive?  Looks like the Subject line is awaiting an actual change to received. ​

Hi Wendy,
When the user receives the order from open order and it goes in receive status, Finance/Accounts Payable user wants an e-mail alert to notify her that the order has been received and she can now pay the vendor. sometimes the vendor sends the invoice directly to the user and not Accounts Payable.  then the person receives it from open order and Finance is never notified that the invoice has been received and vendor will end up notifying Accounts Payable to pay them.
Does that help?

Yes, thank you.  That is helpful.

I am wondering if you set the alert and any orders have since that alert was set been moved to Receive status.  It will not go back and alert of anything already in Receive prior to Alert.

Hi Sally,  before you make changes to the Alert, I am trying to verify that there have been actual receipts completed in the environment since you created the alert.  I am wondering if the only reason the user did not get notified is because no POs have been receipted since then.

If you want the alert e-mailed, you'll also need to check off "Send e-mail" in your alert rule setup (down at the bottom below "Show pop-ups").  Each user will need their own alert rule.

​Hi Sally,

I believe your alert filter is looking for POs that already have the status Received and are subsequently changed in some manner.

I would change the Event from "has changed" to "is set to:".  This will open up the field to the right and you will choose Received. Leave the alert for All Purchase orders and do not create a filter, unless you wanted to filter for only selected vendors or some such other reason.

By doing it at the PO level, the alert likely won't trigger until all lines are received and the PO status changes to Received.  You can also create an alert from the PO line to be alerted when the line status is set to received.

just aq word of caution about alerts. They are truly a great feature, but when you set them up take a little time to be sure of the alerts you will receive. I have seen badly created alerts really impact a system and totally stop alerts from working because they created constant alert situations and produced hundreds of thousands of alerts in a very short time. One other factor to consider is if you set up an alert for you  think about the volume of alerts, say you set it up and you get 400 alerts a day, most of these will go un looked at, as you have other duties. Just like in reporting more is not always better, after page 2 most people quit looking at a report. So just think about this and you can then take advantage of the alert function.

Thank you Paul.  It is still not working.  Do you think I need to set this up as a batch job?  This is my first alert.  The user is only getting e-mails when a PO has been received.  We are a small company so I don't think she even gets any received on a daily basis.

Here are the two:

System administration > Periodic > Alerts > Change based alerts
System Administration > Periodic > E-mail Processing > Batch

Also, you'll want to make sure you have a server that is set up to do batch processing (check one server as "Is batch server")
System administration --> Setup --> System --> Server configuration

And set up batch groups to assign them to a batch sever:
System administration --> Setup --> Batch group

Thanks everyone for all your help!  I am now receiving e-mails whenever a PO changes to receive status.  Is there any way I can let the user know which PO it was that was received?  My email only says "PO has been received" and she likes that but now wants to know which PO it actually was!
Thanks,
Sally

One other factor to consider is if you set up an alert for you  think about the volume of alerts, say you set it up and you get 400 alerts a day, most of these will go un looked at, as you have other duties. Just like in reporting more is not always better, after page 2 most people quit looking at a report. So just think about this and you can then take advantage of the alert function.

Good Morning!
I am hoping someone can help with my alert issue.  I have never created an alert and a user in Finance would like to be alerted via e-mail whenever a PO goes to "receive" status.  I tried to do this for her but she is not receiving the e-mail alert.  I went to Procurement & Sourcing ->All Purchase Orders.  I right clicked in the form and clicked on "create alert rule".  I created a query for all purchase orders in receive status.  I put in her e-mail address and closed.  She is not receiving an alert e-mail.  Below is the "overview" of the alert I created, the screen print of the "general" tab, and the select query.  
Please advise as to what I am doing wrong and how to correct this problem.  See attachments below.
Thanks so much for your help!

So many things to set up in AX...

Perhaps you need to set up an e-mail template:
Go to Organization administration > Setup > E-mail templates
Mark off "Show system e-mails" so you make the e-mail alerts a system e-mail.

Then create one that is tied to your Alert batch group.
Fill in the e-mail ID, description, language, set a sender name, and sender e-mail

Here is what I have in my in my e-mail template (you can customize however you want to look with as much or as little as you want)
------------------------------------------
Template setup section where you assign the E-mail ID, language, and layout
Subject = %subject%, %for%
------------------------------------------
E-mail message section:
%message%

Go to %for% [NOTE: THIS IS AN HTML LINK as follows so you may be able to click on the link to the record directly <A href="dynamics://%LinkToBusinessData%/"><U><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Tahoma>Go to %for%</FONT></U></A>]

Alert details Occurred: %occurred%
For: %for%
Company: %company%
Event: %event%
Additional info: %data%

View Alert [NOTE: THIS IS AN HTML TAG as follows so you may be able to click on the link <A href="dynamics://%LinkToAlert%/"><U><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Tahoma>View Alert</FONT></U></A>]

Thanks everyone for all your help!  I am now receiving e-mails whenever a PO changes to receive status.  Is there any way I can let the user know which PO it was that was received?  My email only says "PO has been received" and she likes that but now wants to know which PO it actually was!
Thanks,
Sally

Here are the two:

System administration > Periodic > Alerts > Change based alerts
System Administration > Periodic > E-mail Processing > Batch

Also, you'll want to make sure you have a server that is set up to do batch processing (check one server as "Is batch server")
System administration --> Setup --> System --> Server configuration

And set up batch groups to assign them to a batch sever:
System administration --> Setup --> Batch group

have you started the batch jobs that run the alert system? these are jobs that look for the changes and process them. Sorry I don't remember the exact names but there are 2 jobs process change based alerts and another one, these actually causer the alerts to be delivered

Thank you Paul.  It is still not working.  Do you think I need to set this up as a batch job?  This is my first alert.  The user is only getting e-mails when a PO has been received.  We are a small company so I don't think she even gets any received on a daily basis.

Good Morning Sally,
I am not familiar with Ax 2012 but I am using D365 version 10.0.1. This thread did not say whether you have other batch jobs running currently. Do you have the appropriate batch jobs running in order to create the alerts? Changed base alerts and Due date alerts is what I have in my current version. These are located in under system administrator\ in the alerts section.  Also we have a similar setup for PO's when someone changes the delivery date it send san email to the individual that sets them up. I had to test the different scenarios in test environment in order to get the correct setup. Not sure if this helps at all, also in my version I have to have that individual setup to receive emails from the system.

You need the changed based alerts batch as Brian says in order for alerts to be sent out at the frequency you would like (and depending on how many alerts might be generated).  In AX 2012 R3, the batch can be created from:

System administration > Periodic > Alerts > Change based alerts.

Press Recurrence and Alerts to set options first.  Make sure Batch processing is checked.  You may want to create a Batch group and tie it to a Batch server so it doesn't use your production server.
