How to handle PO Approval through lotus notes?[Scanned]

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi VJ,

Perhaps the lack of replies is because it sounds like an attempt to get around licenses. What's wrong with just creating users? There are cheaper licenses available for this type of user. 

You can receive and process inbound emails, but any custom solution you build is going to have a hard time with audits. Think about security & how easy it is to forward mails or forge email addresses. 

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Guys,
 
We are stuck up in a design issue and would like your valuable inputs on how to handle this situation.
 
Problem statement:
We need to implement a PO approval workflow for one of our client. The users who will be approving or rejecting the PO are not SAP users and hence do not have a SAP user id. So we cannot send the work item to the users as they don’t have a sap user id. 
 
My Question:
In this scenario how do we handle the approval flow? We can send the users an email from the workflow as the email ids will be maintained in a Z table I mean email to the non sap users. But how do we physically approve or reject the PO. Is there a way to get the signal back from the user via email? 
 
System:
Our client is on ECC 5.0 version. 
 
Kind Regards,
VJ
