Create Notification (On the Intranet)

Use

Using this function, you can create a simplified notification on the Intranet from an internal service request. The function is automatically called when you submit an internal service request, provided you have chosen a scenario that calls for the creation of a notification using the notification transactions.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for the internal service request ( Define scenarios ), a recording type with notification transactions is specified for the selected scenario ( Recording type on the Web ).

Procedure

Once you submit an internal service request, the initial screen for creating and changing a new notification is displayed.

The system displays the notification type that was predefined in Customizing for the selected scenario.

If you want to change the proposed notification type, choose Change notification type and then select another notification type using the field-related input help.
Make sure you are aware of the rules that apply to a notification type change .
Enter the required data in the notification (for example, subject matter, execution data, and partner information).
If you want to process the notification further, use the selection of available functions (see table below).
Save the notification.

The initial screen for creating or changing an internal service request reappears.
