Business Alerts

Business Alerts which were introduced in version 8.7.1, provide superior options for auditing. Business Alerts rules are triggered when certain transaction records are saved and conditions are met. The conditions are highly customisable.

Like the Events feature, Business Alerts can Silently log or Warn which prompts the user with a Yes, No message. They also have the added benefits of being able to Block the user from saving the record and an ability to silently send another user or customer an email.

Business Alerts are technical to setup and may require a consultant to create new or customise existing rules.

Example 1. A Business Alert can be setup to prevent a purchase order being saved if the creditor account number is 0.

The emailing feature can be useful to prompt other users to action certain duties.

Example 2. When a Sales Order is saved an email can be sent to the warehouse to begin supplying the order.

Example 3. When a Sales Order is saved the customer is automatically emailed.
