Email notifications

As long as the receipt has not been registered in DTU Fusion, you will receive email notifications from DTU Fusion. The notifications look different depending on whether you have ordered physical goods (purchases) or services (amount orders).

Below, you can see what the notifications for goods purchases and funding orders look like, and what you need to be aware of.

Once you have ordered a physical item, you will receive an email notification from DTU Fusion with the following subject line:

            Action Required: Purchase Order DTUXXXXXXX
             requires confirmation of receipt

You can register goods receipt directly from the notification.

When you open the email, you can make goods receipt directly using the buttons in the notification.
  • Receive in Full = the entire order has been received  
  • Receive up to the Invoiced Amount = only parts of the order have been received  
  • Didn’t Receive = do not use this option; contact the supplier if you have not received your goods.

How to proceed in the notification

  1. Verify that the item and the invoice match 
  2. Open the email from DTU Fusion
