Making Purchase Order approval window to pickup custom rtf template.

Hi,
We customized our purchase order using rtf method. I changed the print option to text from PDF in Purchasing options so that it will pickup the "print purchase order" which is a program based on rdf.
My rtf is getting input from this program (POXPRPOP.rdf) Every thing is working fine except that when you say print from purchase order approval window the pdf wont get generated. You had to run another program "XML REPORT PUBLISHER" to get the PDF output.
This is causing problem in automatic dispatching of Purchase Orders. Can any one help me in how to make the approval window pickup the Custom template while running the "print Purchase Order Program".
Thanks
Vish

Vish ,
I am also working on that....
Tell me one thing How you are viewing the XML Data ...Is it from the XSL-FO template??.... In XSL-FO template all the XML data is not present which is generated by Java Program.....
Check for The Views.... PO%XML.... In these Views whatever the Column names are present you can use those columns as a tag field in your XSL-FO template.....
Normally in Java program they are taking the all the columns of these views to generate the XML DATA..... But in XSL-FO Template they had not mentioned all the fields..because Many of the columns are not having any data.....
This is the part of my new R&D..... I still need to apply this thing.....
Let me know if you have any update for me.......
Regards

Purchase Order Approval through Mobile Phone / BlackBerry

Dear fellows i am interested in Purchase Order Approval through Mobile Phone / BlackBerry. I have seen MSCA Mobile Supply Chain Application Guide but that is for telnet only devices and specific to supply chain. What are setup requirements to make PO approve though "Web App" or "Mobile App" as show in below image URL. We need to work it primarly on BlackBerry.
http://www.exforsys.com/images/OracleApps/t10_files/image010.gif
That will require logging in to EBS through Mobile and Making EBS available on Public IP !?! If this all fuss needs to be done then is there some Notification Alert type mechanism which sends email, but here a user could also reply that email with keywords to Approve or Reject that PO !?!
Thank you.

Dear Hussein, ur links are iPhone specific and also BPEL Connector specific ("Oracle Buisness Approvals for Managers" BPEL Connector). The links for Blackberry assume that i am atleast already getting emails on blackberry through EBS. Our env is through MS Exchange Server. Where as i believe from ur suggected docs that the EBS needs to have its own direct setup with blackberry
In our current env we are using Oracle Alerts to Just send an email to user that PO for approval is waiting. We are NOT using "Oracle WorkFlow Notification Mailer". For blackberry will we be locked to use Workflow Mailer (i see patch 6802716 pre req also)!?! or we can still use simple Alerts!?!
following thread says type "approve" in reply whereas metalink guides tell a URL to click in email. will it be a ...
href="mailto:[email protected]?body=approve"
type URL!?!
http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-apps-l/po-approval-through-mail-3077383
===============================================================
There are a couple of steps that need to be complete before this will work.
Pre- Req's
1. Associate all apps users / approvers with email addresses
2. sync apps users with workflow
3. Check workflow users to make sure email is set to HTML.
4. Configure and enable workflow mailer. You will need configuration information for the email service being used and a mailbox on the email service.
5. Send a test message from workflow mailer to an apps user.
If this is successful, then email based approval will work. If the user tries to approve using a smart phone (blackberry, etc.) they will have to hit reply and type approve as the message for approval to work.
this guy also points to this idea.

Presentation of a solution using Blackberry Devices to approve requisitions and purchase orders in Oracle E-Business Suite. This solution required creating a text message to send to Blackberry users, and modifying the Workflow Java Mailer to be able to correctly read the default messages being sent back from blackberry devices.

Fiori Purchase Order Approval - inexplicable missing work items

I'm asking this here because I have run out of things to try. At the moment we have users of the Purchase Order Approval app finding that some work items don't appear in Fiori, when they have work items visible in business workplace.
I did the following things in the live system to check the user's work items:
used function SAP_WAPI_CREATE_INBOX to check which work items they should have
called the backend gateway service method GET_LIST on class CL_GBAPP_APV_PO_API, with the valid workflow tasks in the filter table. I got the same work items, and as far as I can see this is exactly the information the Fiori app should have got.
I can't see any obvious way the Fiori app itself would filter the results.
I've not found relevant SAP notes.
Any suggestions on other things to check?

I've added the GET_LIST output and the worklist function which should show the contents of the user's inbox.
They are seeing nothing in Fiori. We have a custom task but Fiori knows about it from the task filter select option.

Susan,
This to me sounds like a release strategy setup using workflow. Could you please set up Release strategies initially and and then the workflow part couldd be handled by a workflow personnel.
Else, Setup teh message type with medium 7, and partner function MP, put the user name in the partner field. Go to communication method, choose the recipient type and fiull other required parameters and you should be set.

Issue in Purchase Order approval

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in purchase order approval process . Need suggestion from your end.
Purchase order approval gor failed in the work flow stage 'Get PO Attributes'.
I could find that this is because one of the line distribution has quantity ordered as 0 .
And the proc (PO_POAPPROVAL_INIT1.GET_PO_ATTRIBUTES) which is attached to the node 'Get PO Attributes' is ending in error (Divide mby zero error in the proc )
Workflow is failing on the node 'Get PO Attributes' .
Function which is getting called : PO_POAPPROVAL_INIT1.GET_PO_ATTRIBUTES
Since the quantity_ordered in one line Distribution is zero, the function is giving error (while trying to divide by zero).
Query which is failing is
" SELECT SUM( ROUND (POD.nonrecoverable_tax * DECODE(quantity_ordered, NULL, (NVL(POD.amount_ordered,0) - NVL(POD.amount_cancelled,0)) / NVL(POD.amount_ordered, 1), (NVL(POD.quantity_ordered,0) - NVL(POD.quantity_cancelled,0)) / NVL(POD.quantity_ordered, 1) ), X_precision ) )
INTO l_tax_amount
FROM po_distributions_all POD
WHERE po_header_id = POHdr_rec.po_header_id;"
My question is that, how to fix this issue now (any data fix possible? ). As far as I know I will not able to amend the PO now. Kindly give me a work around for this.
Thanks,
Arun

There is a generic datafix script shipped as a patch. This script will help in resetting the document to Incomplete / Requires Reapproval status. There after you can adjust the PO to have correct quantities and re-approve it.
The datafix script is $PO_TOP/sql/poxrespo.sql. Please read the documentation and try out in test instance first.

Purchase Order Approval Notifications and Multiple Currencies

All,
If I have a user who creates a requisition in EUR and then submits the requisition for approval to someone who has a default currency of USD, the workflow notification will show the value of the requisition in both EUR and USD. This is because the ICX: Preferred Currency profile option has been set at the user level.
However, this does not work for purchase order approval notifications, just requisitions. This makes my management unhappy. Oracle Support indicates this is an enhancement request. However, I have a difficult time believing there is not something in the Oracle apps that allows this functionality in the PO Notification. We are on 11.5.10.2.
Many thanks,
Jeremy

Custom RTF templates in Oracle Core Contracts ..

Hello:
We want to create custom RTF templates in Oracle Core Contracts along with custom data templates.
We do not want to use XSL-FO templates since we are finding this too complex to work with ... also the fact that the XML data is being generated by some internal OAF processes that we cannot control.
This is unnecessarily too complex for us.
Can we create our own reporting using XML -Publisher and integrate it in the system ?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated ... Yesh

Srini:
I did read those pages and unless I am missing something .. it is basically saying the follwing:
Copy the seeded XSL-FO templates and make changes to them and then upload them back. I have no real access to the xml data since it is somehow pre-generated. I do not have a choice of using RTF templates along with the ease of Word based formatting.
The above process goes against the way in which we can write our own reports in XMLP:
(a) Create our own data templates (use our own SQL)
(b) Create our own layout templates (using RTF or XSl_FO)
So I am stuck into undertsanding .... OAF, Java API's ,etc that I should not have to understand to generate a report ...
yesh

Unable to establish a for loop in custom rtf template for seeded xml file

Hi Experts ,
I am Unable to establish a for loop in custom rtf template for seeded xml file. i am using <?:for-each:G_BSALINE?> FORM FIELD .....<?:FOR-EACH?END> .AM i missing something?
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
Need more information about your XML data structure; however based on the code you provided, the synax does not look right; you have some colon sign where it is not needed etc... You could use the following (although not quite sure if you want to use Form Filed to group by or just display), but look at the example provided below.
<?for-each-group:G_BSALINE?> FORM FIELD .....<?end for-each-group?>
Example code:
<?for-each-group:G_INVOICE_NUM;./INV_TYPE?>
xxxxxxxxxx
<?end for-each-group?>
Thanks!

Purchase order approval notification as per project

I want to send notification to approve purchase orders. I can do this by configuring purchase order release strategy. But I want to identify the approver as per project.
Purchase order has project number in account assignment tab.
Can I relate this in workflow so that notification will be sent to project manager as per assignment in purchase order ?

Hello Sachin,
Standard SAP forms pick up the delivery address that was determined in the Purchase Order line. Normally this is either the Plant address or, if maintained, the storage location address. The storage location address can be maintained in customizing under "Enterprise structure - Definition - Materials Management - Maintain Storage Location".
The form checks the delivery addresses on the different PO lines. If these are all the same, it displays the address in the document header. If not, then it displays this per line item. If the printout does not show the PO line delivery address from the plant or storage location, the logic in the form is probably different from standard SAP logic. In this case, you should look for solving this in the Form, in combination with the standar SAP logic for determining the delivery address in the Purchase Order.

Sjaak van den Berg

Sales Order/ Purchase Order Approved option

Dear Friends,
In System Init-> Document Settings-> Per document tab page-> sales order and purchase order documents have PO Approved/ SO Approved options. When we keep these options unchecked then any SO or PO even if saved cannot be copied to delivery/grpo unless we select the same checkbox in SO/PO logistics tab.
My question is if I keep the options unchecked in document settings and then any SO/PO is created it will be unapproved. Please let me know if during authorization i can disable this option for the user and enable the option for the manager i.e the checkbox at logistics is disabled for the user and enabled for the approving manager. If yes please give me exact path in authorization window.
Edited by: Philip Eller on May 13, 2008 9:05 AM

Hi,
If you want to control the user from creating PO/ SO, then you can create Approval procedures to them. You can create Approval procedures giving any conditions.
As per my understanding, for your case, you need to control each and every document (ie., PO / SO documents creation). For that you can set Approval for these documents whenever they create.
For that Administration --> ApprovalProcedures --> Approval Templates
1. Enter the Approval Procedure Name and its Description.
2. Originator Tab : In this choose the user's name from which these documents will be created.
3. Documents tab: In this select the Document type to which you are setting the Approval procedure (ie., PO or SO)
4. Stages tab : Select the Approver name (Senior user name who approves the Document)
5. Terms Tab : If you want to set approval for every document then select "Always" option. If you generated query to set approve then select "When following Applies" option and link the query you have generated.
Now your Approval procedure will be set.

One step purchase order approval - Trigger only in certain cases.

Hi,
I want to trigger the one step workflow approval for Purchase Orders only in ceraitn cases.
When the PO is created from a shopping cart it has to be automatically approved. In other cases the workflow has to be triggerred.
I tried setting the no_further_approval flag to 'X' in the Approval BADI but did not work.
Any Suggestions?
Does the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI work for one step approval or is it only for the n step?
Is it better to manipulate the start conditions?
Any help is appreciated.
Joe Vellaiparambil

Hi
If the workflow is not working as expected, refer to SAP Note 322526, Analysis for workflow problems.
You should go with making the start conditions work, as you are aware that only 1 level Approval is required. Try making changes in the start conditions by using transaction - SWB_PROCUREMENT.
Note ->This BADI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI is only recommended for N-step dynamic approval workflow. I don't think you need this BADI as the first alternative.
Refer to few links as well.
