The Alert<\/strong> window in iDempiere is used to define business warnings and notifications<\/strong> that inform users when specific system conditions occur. Alerts help organizations proactively monitor critical situations instead of discovering issues too late through reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alerts are rule-driven<\/strong> and automatically evaluated by the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alerts Purpose in iDempiere<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alerts<\/strong> highlight exceptions\/risks<\/strong>, notify users of important business events<\/strong>, and improve response time<\/strong> for operational\/financial issues. They function as an early warning system<\/strong> within the ERP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defining iDempiere Alerts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Alert window, administrators define:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Alert name and description<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • SQL-based conditions that determine when the alert is triggered<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Alert frequency and status<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Target users or roles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The alert definition itself does not send messages\u2014it only defines what to watch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alert Trigger Mechanism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Alerts<\/strong> activate through a scheduled background process<\/strong> that executes alert logic<\/strong>, checks conditions against live data<\/strong>, and generates alert records<\/strong> when met. For example, alerts trigger when invoices remain unpaid<\/strong> beyond due dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alert Notification Delivery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When an alert is triggered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • It appears in the user alert inbox<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Users can view alert details<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The alert can guide users to take corrective action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Alerts do not change data; they inform and guide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
