You can set up your system to send e-mails to users involved in the change request management process whenever they need to perform a task with regard to a change transaction. The system sends the e-mail depending on the status of the change transaction, for example, when a new request for change is created, the change manager is notified about it.

Prerequisites

You have made the required settings in SAP Solution Manager configuration.

  • The system determines the e-mail recipient using the business partner function in the change transaction. If no business partner is maintained for the particular business partner function, the system does not send an e-mail.

  • For a particular event in a change transaction, several e-mails can be sent to business partners of different business partner functions, but each business partner receives onle one e-mail.

  • You can freely define the e-mail templates in the WebClient UI.

Note Note

  • The system does not send e-mail notifications to business partners used in several partner functions in a change transaction. If you want the system to send e-mails anyway, refer to SAP Note 621183.

  • In a normal change, when the tester changes the status “Successfully Tested ” to “Preliminary import requested”, and the system changes the status to “Testing for preliminary import”, no e-mail is sent to the tester, unless the Business Add-In Partner-Dependent Actions has been deactivated.

    For more information, see SAP Note 621183 and the Business Add-In documentation in Customizing under   Customer Relationship Management   Basic Functions   Actions   Actions in Transaction   Business Add-Ins   BAdI: Partner-Dependent Actions  .

End of the note.

Note Note

If the system does not send any e-mail notifications although you have made the required settings, contact your system administrator.
