Workflow Approval via Email White Paper for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2

This Whitepaper highlights the functionality in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 that enables workflow to be configured so that a user can take approval action directly from email messages.
The document describes the email approval workflow. This workflow includes features and email messages that can be configured and the links that can be included in the emails that contain links to documents that require action. For example, an employee enters a timesheet, and then submits it to his or her manager for approval. The manager receives an email message requesting approval. The email message contains a link to the timesheet that the user entered. This functionality provides the capability for approvers to approve or reject from the email message itself.
White paper can be downloaded directly from Microsoft Download center.

High level steps required to implement this functionality:
