The Purchase Requests To Approve standard reminder...
# general

The Purchase Requests To Approve standard reminder is excluding our Purchase Orders created via CSV. I am adjusting the PO workflow context to consider CSV and UI creation, but the Purchase Requests To Approve still shows 0 results even though we have 15 POs in Pending Approval status.

Are you sure you have the right reminder picked? "Purchase requests to approve" sounds more like employee center created Purchase Requests than Purchase Orders
That said, I rarely use the standard reminders because most folks like to see different results when they click into the reminder.

First thing that crosses my mind: is the employee field populated?

@KevinJ of Kansas Yes, I am sure, POs created via UI show on this reminder. We use the standard reminder because of the ability to mark all on the POs to be approved list. @C_Billings_ We never use the Emp field, but I tried the csv import with an Emp value and it still the wf still didn’t fire.

Did your csv import have the trigger scripts and workflows box marked?

Another reason we need the wf to fire is because it is sends emails out to approvers, this was a wf action that we added to our PO workflow.
Thanks @KevinJ of Kansas ! That was it. What a beautiful checkbox.

You can turn that on by default
At your import preference page. Just know that won't impact existing saved imports

Done! Thanks so much for your help!
