Epicor Answerbook 11597MPS explains how to do this:
Page: 11597MPS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Is it possible to send an email to
the PO Approver when a purchase agent creates a new PO with a status of
pending?
PROBLEM RESOLUTION:
One possible solution is through a method
directive BPM.
PLEASE NOTE:
The detailed information provided below is
an example. The idea is that this
will be modified or changed by the
customer to fit their business needs. The
examples we provide have not been
through a standard QA process and are provided
"as-is". These modifications
should be evaluated and tested thoroughly in a test
environment prior to
implementation in a production environment. Further
assistance may be
necessary to build from this example or implement it. If this
example goes
beyond the scope of what the customer is comfortable with and what
is
handled in Epicor Technical Support, we can assist the customer in contacting
our custom programming group (their services are billable).

How would the approval person for a buyer know that there’s a PO out there waiting for approval without some sort of notification? We don’t want to have to have them check multiple times a day. This seems like a flaw in the system.
