One of my recurring issues has been notifying uses of receipts in an email, without a separate email for each receipt record.   To that end, I’ve created a process that uses an escalation to fire a custom action to do this.  This is built on Maximo 7.5.0.10 on SQL Server.    Note: The way this is built, it only works for POs where all lines are requested by the same user.  You’re smart, I’m sure you can figure out options if you need to.   Create a persistent attribute PO.LASTRECDATE...
