Creating a work order by using email

Before you begin

Ensure that BMC Service Request Management is installed.

You must have Work Order Master, Work Order User, or Work Order Submitter permission to create a work order by using email.

To create a work order by using email

1. Open your email editor and create a new email message.
2. In the To field, enter the email account that is registered with the BMC Remedy Email Engine to receive and generate application requests.
3. Complete the Subject field and the body text according to the rules configured by your system administrator.
   If global rules are used and no custom rules are defined, add WO: in the Subject field. Check with your system administrator for defined custom rules.

4. If you have an attachment, add it to the email message.
   The system adds attachments to the application request's Work Information form. If you add multiple attachments, the system creates a zip file and adds it to the Work Information form.

   Note

   You cannot attach multiple attachments with the same file name.

5. Click Send.
   If your email system is configured to send acknowledgments, you receive a confirmation message containing the work order ID.
