Approve PO Line Amount - Workflow Event Handler
Use this event handler to automatically notify certain CloudSuite Industrial users when a purchase order line exceeds the amount you specify in this event handler. The message also prompts for a Yes/No response to approve the amount. Based on the response, the event handler sends an approval or rejection notification to the originator. Both notifications are messages sent to the CloudSuite Industrial Inbox form.
This is the text of the notification that is sent:

Please review the Purchase Order Line and indicate your approval on the Response Tab. Question: Do you approve this new Purchase Order Line? Choices: Yes and No.
If the response is Yes, this message is sent to the originator's CloudSuite Industrial Inbox:
To: originator From: receipient Subject: Purchase Order Line amount exception approved Body: Purchase Order ponum Line poline Item item amount polineamount has been accepted as an exception to the Purchase Order Line policy of polinelimit.
If the response is No, this message is sent to the originator's CloudSuite Industrial Inbox:
