Alert Functionality

Alert Functionality

-Because alert fires every 15 minutes, we have included columns for Canceled, Purchased, and Transferred in case any of those statuses apply when alert fires (as they could have changed in the first few minutes after inventory request placed).

-Does NOT include tech to tech field transfers. Use alert ID46 to see this activity.

-Considers Inventory Requests only, not Transfer Orders.

-Looks back five days to create date the first time it fires, so the first email will include five days of inventory requests. 

-Notifies once per request number, per item number. The alert will not notify again if status changes (i.e. canceled or purchased) after the first email.
