This business rule immediately sends email notifications to sourcing managers to keep them informed about project timelines. Email notifications are sent only for pipeline projects in the Draft or Planned state.\n    -   When a pipeline project's estimated end date exceeds the value specified in the system property, the Trigger pipe end or start notification business rule runs. It immediately notifies sourcing managers via email. Email notifications are sent only for pipeline projects that are not in the Closed Complete or Closed Canceled state.\n\n**Parent Topic:**[Sourcing Pipeline Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/sourcing-and-procurement-operations/spo-sourcing-pipeline-mgmt.md)\n\n"}}
