Purchase Requisition Approval Customization

Hi All,
The standard purchase requisition notification only shows the project under the heading Cost Center and our client wanted the notification to show the full charge account which we achieved by modifying the standard oracle package PO_WF_REQ_NOTIFICATION
Now we are upgrading from 11.5.9 to R12. Can somebody tell me how it can be achieved in R12?
Thanks,
Sonia

Hi,
Try these options,
Method-1_
Try to capture the org information before you start the WF and pass the Org Id as parameter in the workflow through WF code change.
Method-2_
You need to devide the WF activities into 2 parts.. 1 part for all orgs and the 2nd part is for specific org.. You need to define a node prior to "waiting Activity" for approval which will capture Org_id and progrmatically you need to decide which path to follow.
Say Org_code="xyz"
IF Node (Org_id !="xyz") --> Wait State of WF --> Next approver (This is for all orgs other than "xyz")
IF Node (org_id ='xyz") --> without wait State of WF --> Next approver (This is for specific org only)

Purchase Requisitions Approval Error

Hi,
We are working in Oracle Applications 11i. We have the follwoing modules installed and used: Purchasing, Inventory, HRMS(Payrol), General Ledger, Assets, Payables.
I am trying to fill in the gaps in our initial setup in order to enable the user to use Purchase Requistions documents.
Purchasing Super User wishes to create a Purchase requistion herself and get it approved and then distribute the approved requistions amongst the buyers. Is this possible??? How can we implement this? Can we assign the superuser to aan approval hierarchy of one level?
Also, I have created a multi-level position approval hierarchy , run Fill Employee Hierarchy, and assigned it to the Purchase Requisition document.
Me, in the 1st level have created a Purchase Requistion,I submitted for approval and then had the error:
APP-PO-14142: In Exception of Start_Wf_Process()-PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.Start_WF_Process: In Exception handler: ORA-20002: 3108: Root Process could not be determined for item XXXXX. There may be a problem with item type selector function, or you may be required to supply a starting process Name.
Can someone advise please....
Thank you...

Hi again,
Now please help me in the first part of my post.
How can I setup Purchasing Requisition in one-level hierarchy and approval?
After the Reuisition is approved, in order to control the load balance , how can the super user distribute it to buyers to follow up the standard purchase order and submit it for approval?
Thank you

Call purchase requisition approval workflow in abap program

Hello,
I copied the standard workflow for the approvaI of a purchase requisition WS00000038 and i tested it. I create a purchase requisition in me51n. This is triggering the event releasestepcreated which starts my workflow. Everything goes ok.
Now, i want to call this workflow in ABAP. I do not know exactly how to do it. Here is the code I tried.
data: ls_objkey type SWR_STRUCT-OBJECT_KEY,
lt_mesage type table of SWR_MESSAG,
gt_container type table of swr_cont,
gs_container type swr_cont.
gs_container-element = 'ReleaseCode'.
gs_container-value = '01'.
append gs_container to gt_container.
gs_container-element = 'requisition'.
gs_container-value = '0010000362'.
append gs_container to gt_container.
gs_container-element = 'RequisitionHeader '.
gs_container-value = '0010000362'.
append gs_container to gt_container.
ls_objkey = '0010000362'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
EXPORTING
object_type = 'BUS2009'
object_key = ls_objkey
event = 'RELEASESTEPCREATED'
TABLES
input_container = gt_container
MESSAGE_LINES = lt_mesage.
As you can see i filled he RequisitionHeader, requisition and release code. I saw in the workflow that i copied, that these are import parameters. Requisition and release code are mandatory. 0010000362 is a purchase requisition that i created.
After i run the program i receive a work item in SBWP but it has the status error.
Can you help me?Perhaps anyone has done this. I think that i am not filling the correct data or something like that. Maybe you can look in the standard workflow WS00000038 and tell me what I should pass and how.
Thank you,
Efren

Hi Efren,
The Problem is, for the purchase requisition there is two key fields.
So when you pass the keyfiled to workflow it should be the concatenation of Purchanse requisition number and the item number.
You have to pass the object key as below.
ls_objkey = '00100003620010'.
Then only your business object will getting insatanciated.
Thanks,
Viji.

Initiating re-approval on price change durin purchase requisition approval

Hello everyone,
Must be a basic requirement for most people...can you please help us here?
We have a requisition approval hierarchy (defined in AME). We want the functionality that whenever an approver updates the price (through the "Open Document" in notification), the purchase requisition should be sent for re-approval starting with the requestor. Is there any profile option or workflow attribute which can be used for this purpose? I believe PO has some such option for setting the tolerance percentage, but don't know whether iprocurement has similar one.
Btw, we are using 11.5.10.2
thanks in advance,
abbas

Workflow email for Purchase Requisition Approval

We have a requirement of sending email to the approvers for approving purchase requisition. Alongwith the email sent out to the approvers (to their Outlook/ Lotus Notes Inbox), we will also like to show the content of the line items of the purchase requisiton. i understand this can be done since in the past at other implementations, I have seen that the email contains the link to goto SAP Ibox and it also shows the content of the requistions.
Our issue is that we are not being able to pass on the content of the requistion line items to the approvers inbox. Is there a setting to activate this in workflow or somewhere that we are missing? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

AME purchase requisition approval at line level R12

Hello
how can i create an approval list starting from the cost center on purchase requisition distribution.
the logic to identify the starting person id from the cost center is clear: in cost center flexfield value set there's an attribute with the person identifier: so no problem in retrieving it.
i'm able to do when dynamically defining approval group.
but what i want is that, if a requisition has 3 lines with cost centers A, B, B, two list are created in parallel for approver of A and approver of B
how can i setup AME to do that?
thanks
Davide

Were you able to get any resolution to this? We are on R12 also. Oracle says iProcurement only supports rules defined at the header level. We are trying to find out if they intend to introduce line level approvals in the future.

AME Purchase Requisition Approval

Can anybody help me? I want a dymanic query for the attribute PO Line Type (which is a custom attribute). We want AME to work based on this attribute. The attribute has to pull the value of line type , whether it's goods, services etc and based on that we have to define the AME rule. Please send me the query. We have some seeded attributes which is using these kind of dynamic queries. I tried to create one like that. But it's not working.

Purchasing Controls - Purchase Orders from Purchase Requisitions

I need some help with setting up purchasing controls. We are looking to put in place a control that allows users to convert purchase requisitions into PO, but only create the purchase order for the quantity on the purchase requisition.
As I see it, we need to do the following:
1) Require that PO references a Purchase Requisition
2) Do not allow the PO qty to exceed the Purchase Requisition qty
Background
- Purchase Requisition approval not needed for reqs created by MRP
- Have investigated transaction OMET and function authorization, but does not fit the need. If we require Purchase Req as reference, it does not allow reference to Contract. If we select contract and purchase requisition, a PO can be created referencing Contract without a purchase requisition.
Regards,
Jeff

1) Require that PO references a Purchase Requisition
Use OMET adn do not select the ref to contract check box but select the ref to Purchase requistion
now make the source list is required for mateiral and than create the source list and enter the contract in the source list.
now when user create the req and the source determination is check than system will put the contract as source in reqs and than you can create the PO using reqs.
2) Do not allow the PO qty to exceed the Purchase Requisition qty
Activate the message an error : 06 076 Materials of requisition & item & alr. ordered in full
which will stop user to alter the quantity in the PO and will not allow to use again same reqs if orderd full

Purchase requisition tables

HI all,
I want to know the tables and transactions related to Purchase Requisition.
Also, in which table the Purchase Requisition APPROVAL result and the APPROVER name will get stored?
Regards,
Shanthi

Hello Shanthi,
Please note that you'll get all the relevant information in EBAN,CDHDR & CDPOS tables. You can pass the value of PR no in OBJECTKEY field of the change tables(CDHDR & CDPOS ).One more condition is that ,when you input PR no. in these change tables, then make sure that the number of digits of PR no. should be 10.
Suppose for eg., if your PR no. is 600012 (6 digits), make sure to add 4 more preceding zeroes, so that total will be 10 & then input that value in OBJECTKEY field as 0000600012 .This will satisy the requirement.
Hope things are clear.
Regards
Mahesh

Purchase Requisition using Extended Notifications

Hello,
We set up the Purchase Requisition approval so the approver is notified in Outlook. We are using Extended Notifications to do this. The approver can approve or reject from Outlook. However, when the user clicks on approve or reject, they are being asked to logon to the SAP system.
Is there a way to use Extended Notifications so the approver can approve or reject directly from Outlook without having to logon to the SAP system?
Thanks

Hi,
In extended notification the approvar will be asked to SAP login details and proceed for approval process. Without log into sap you cannot approve the PR. Please refer below link for better clarity. Thanking you.

You need to verify that there is a teminating event. A terminating event works so that if you perform the action outside of the workflow inbox, the linked work item is "logically deleted" from the user inbox.
