Oracle AME AP Invoice approval

Hi,
Can some one tell me if in AME with patch B installed.
1) Can i configure AME Invoice approval at the Org level or responsibility level rather than at the application level. I ask this question because we are a multi org single SOB environment and we are trying to implement AME for only one of the org's. If i Setup AME profile AME:Installed = Yes at the application level will all users from my other org also be affected?
2) How do i force PO matched invoices to go through Approval? it seems like the implementation guide says all PO matched invoices automatically goes to Not-required. However, we require PO matched invoices to go through approval. I have followed steps in note 337714.1 but it doesnt seem to work, my PO's still get marked as not required.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Gayathri

Hi Gayathri,
1) Set AME profile AME:Installed = Yes at the application level : Payables. Set Use invoice approval workflow : Y at Payables Options window > Approval step for the related operating unit. Payables invoice approval will work for only those operating units that you set Yes at Payables options.
2) Note 337714.1 was written for R11. If you have the problem at R12 please review the note.
Seeded AME Production Rules Are Not Working (Doc ID 727140.1)
It says:
Cause
The seeded condition in the INVOICE HEADER MATCH CHECK is APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES = False.
This means in order for that condition to be met by any specific invoice and for the production
rule to apply to it, the system would need to be setup with the mandatory attribute Approve
Matched Invoices = False but this also defaults to true.
Hence, for the rule to be applicable, the condition needs to be APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES = True.
Once the seeded rule is setup with condition APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES = True this rule will then be applicable to all the invoices entered and hence the additional condition in that rule can be
evaluated. This will alllow the production rule to be applicable to PO matched invoices which will in effect bypass approval and allow the status to change to Not Required.
Solution
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1) Create a condition with APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES is True
2) Remove the existing condition APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES is False from the rule INVOICE HEADER MATCH CHECK
3) Add the new condition APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES is True to the rule INVOICE HEADER MATCH CHECK
4) Test on AME screens and ensure the rule is found applicable.
5) Retest with a new invoice, this time PO matched invoices should not require approval and should
change to Not Required.
Hope it works,
Zeynep

AME Payables Invoice Approval

Hi,
I'm new to AP module and AME. Currently working on setting up a rule in AME for Payables Invoice approval. Here is the rule - If Invoice amount is greater than $50 it needs an approval from manager level1. I'm getting this
Error : "This transaction's requestor lacks a person ID, so AME cannot locate the requestor's supervisor to begin the chain of authority."
So I found out that I have to use attribute TRANSACTION_REQUESTOR_PERSON_ID which needs requester ID.
1. How do I populate the REQUESTER_ID in AP_INVOICES_ALL.
2. How to I stop the approval to only one job level.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Follow the following steps to do the personlization:
Open the AP Invoice window. Go to Help --> Diagnostics --> Custom Code --> Personalize
Enter a sequence and description as desired.
Condition tab:
Trigger Event: WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
Trigger Object: INV_SUM_FOLDER
Condition: :INV_SUM_FOLDER.REQUESTER_ID is null
Actions Tab:
Seq: 1
Type: Property
Object_type: Item
Target Object: INV_SUM_FOLDER.REQUESTER_NAME
Property Name: Value
Value: =select full_name from per_all_people_f
where person_id = (select employee_id from FND_USER
where user_id = :INV_SUM_FOLDER.CREATED_BY)
and sysdate between effective_start_date and effective_end_date
Seq: 2
Type: Property
Object_type: Item
Target Object: INV_SUM_FOLDER.REQUESTER_ID
Property Name: Value
Value: =select to_char(person_id) from per_all_people_f
where person_id = (select employee_id from FND_USER
where user_id = :INV_SUM_FOLDER.CREATED_BY)
and sysdate between effective_start_date and effective_end_date
Save and validate the personalization. Close all window, open the invoice window again and enter the invoice details. Upon saving the invoice header, the person name and id will be populated automatically.
Ensure that an employee is attached to the person entering the transaction (in the user definition screen).
Hope this helps

Invoice Approval workflow - forward functionality with AME

Dear,
We are on R12.0.6, setting up AME for invoice approval.
Looking at the Invoice Approval process Approval lookup type I don't see 'forward' or 'approve and forward' lookup codes.
Does it indicate that 'Forward' and 'Approve and Forward' functionality is not implemented for the Invoice Apporval workflow?
The AME documentation on the other hand discusses forwardingBehaviors.
If anybody went through this and can through any comments on the subject of the forward functionality in the invoice approval would be great!
Thank you
Anatoliy

Pl post details of OS, database and EBS versions.
In 11i, using AME is a requirement. I believe the same applies to R12 also.

Invoice approval functionality in R12

HI
I can apply the Invoice approval functionality on invoice matched with receipt?
Or it’s only applied on invoice not match with Item?
Thanks

When you use the Invoice Approval feature, all invoices require approval, with the following exceptions. Payables sets the Approval status of the following invoices to Not Required:
• expense reports imported through the Payables Expense Report Import Program (because these expense reports have already been through an approval process)
• recurring invoices if the recurring invoice template did not have the Approval Workflow Required option enabled (because recurring invoices are often approved in advance)
• invoices that existed before you enabled the feature
• Invoices that completed the Invoice Approval Workflow process and the Invoice Approval Workflow process determined that according to the rules set up in Oracle Approvals Management that no one needs to approve the invoice.
You can refer to the following Metalink Note for more information on Invoice approval Workflow

Hope this helps.

Invoice Approval Setup steps without AME

Hi,
Can some one help me with your directions on setting up AP Invoice approval process with out using AME
Appreciate in Advance
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
I dont think there are much setup steps involved if you are not using AME.
You need to check the Require invoice approval flag in the payables options to be checked.
There are 2 more checkbox - require validation before approval & Force approval - whereby the invoice should be validated before it can be approved and the force approval option specifies an user can force approve the invoice using the invoices action window.
and thereafter whatever invoice which gets created in system will be routed for approval.
Infact AME is used for specific and complex rules set up to be in place for invoice approval, if you dont have specific/complex rules than standard rules of invoice approval will be applied.
i.e. an invoice created by an user will be routed to his supervisor using the employee supervisor hierarchy and once approved by the supervisor the invoice status will change to approved.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Manish Jain.

Oracle Payable Invoice Approval with AME issue

Hello,
This is on r12.
We are using AME for Oracle Payables Invoice Approval.
We have a requirement that if the supplier type is of Audit, then Person "John Johny" is the final authority on that invoices. That means such invoices will have one and only one approver - "John Johny"
To incorporate this, I did following AME setup
1. Created a List Modifiers Conditions of type "HR People" and "FND User" and explicitly assigned John Johny in the condition.
2. Created an Action Type of "Final Authority"
3. Created a rule of "List Modification" type
4. Attached appropriate conditions
5. Attached List Modifier ConditionsMy probelm is #5 from above. Even after creating conditions of List modifiers #1, It is simply not showing up in list of values when setting up the step #5. Not sure what is missing. Any advise?
Thanks,
Darsh

The AME does not apply any item class when list modifications rule type with final authority is applied.
The drop down box for item class remains grayed out
Thanks
Darsh

SAP - Invoice Approval Process

Dear Experts,
Please advice if anyone has any information on SAP Invoice Approval process integrated with Livelink Imaging.
Process:
a)     All invoices are scanned in Livelink to capture the invoice image
b)     Establish link btw SAP and Livelink i.e., In SAP some reference number will be keyed which should fetch the relevant scanned invoice doc and display.
c)     User reviews and either accepts or rejects the scanned invoice
d)     Once accepted an Invoice document is posted in SAP based on the inputs provided by the business
e)     Later workflow is triggered for approval of invoice for payment.
Looking forward to your valuable suggestions.

Hello,
Thank you for your note. But how to enable the work flow as mentioned by you.

R11:RECEIVED ERROR MESSAGES FOR AP INVOICE APPROVAL IN ORACLE WORKFLOW

Hi All,
We have this error:
### Detailed Problem Statement ###
Received the following error messages in sysadmin notifications:
Event Error Name: 100
Event Error Message: ORA-01403: no data found
Event Error Stack: HZ_DQM_SYNC>REALTIME_SYNCH(oracle.apps.ar.hz.DQM.realtimesync,
30665979B704AE043C0A81404B04A)
Event Error Name: WFE_DISPATCH_RULE_ERR
Event Error Message: [WFE_DISPATCH_RULE_ERR] ENAME=oracle.apps.ap.payment EKEY=10001
RULE=ap_payment_event_wf_pfg.rule_function SQLCODE=100 SQLERRM=ORA-01403: no
data found
Event Error Stack: WF_Event.dispatch_internal()
In addition, during the set-up of Oracle Approvals Management, there was no available list of
values in the Notification Style in the workflow configurator page.
Action Plan
=======
1) Confirm if the workflow is customized in any way.
2) Confirm whether you are able to select global preferences for the other invoices approval, meaning are you
getting the list of values for the other invoices.
There are no workflow customizations. We are trying to implement it to AP invoice
approval only.
Can you instruct me on how to test this one? I thought I could only select the global preferences from the workflow configuration window. And there are no distinction as to which invoice approval
process it is applicable. Where could I select the global preferences for other
invoices approval?
Thanks a lot

thanks hussein , but still we can not see LOV values even if we inserted data manually...:(
But it has improved and we moved on to another error which is:
*****received the error message:3120: Activity 'APINV/52822' has no performer
### Problem description or inquiry details ###
Received the following error message:
Error Message
3120: Activity 'APINV/52822' has no performer.
Error Stack
Wf_Engine_Util.Notification_Send(APINV, 115191_1, 52822, APINV:APINV_MRA) Wf_Engine_Util.Notification(APINV, 115191_1, 52822, RUN)
Encountered the following:
No list of values in the notification style field in the global configuration region in the Workflow Configuration Page
Please note that we could not update the workflow configuration page using the forms because there
is no list of values to select in the above-mentioned field. We just recently
changed the workflow administrator role from SYSADMIN to KCAALIM to reduce
changing of user log-in. We have previously used the sysadmin user log-in to
access the workflow configuration page. there was still no list of values for
the notification style. we changed the wf admin role to kcaalim using the sql:
udpate wf_resources set text = 'KCAALIM' where name like 'WF_ADMIN_ROLE';
Commit;
Hence, changing of wf admin role and user log-in (to sysadmin) won't help (just in case you would advise me to do so) since we tried it
already.
### Responsibility and navigational paths to reproduce ###
1. set-up the AME for ap invoice approval.
2. test an actual transaction.
3. when the list is generated, set-up workflow for AP approval.
when setting up the configuration page, there is no list of values available for the notification style. hence the workflow
configuration could not be updated.
4. Run the required programs (i.e., synchronizations)
5. run the approval workflow from the developer studio page.
6. review the status from the Status Monitor page.
7. The error message appears
8. payables, create a sample invoice.
9. validate and initiate approval.
10. review the approval history to find out the required approver. (the approver's name appears with 0 amount of approval)
11. check the notifications in the required approver's worklist.
12. there are no notifications sent.
Text continued in next action...

Invoice Approval Workflow Setup in EBS R12

Is there an easy way to tie the invoice approval process into the approval groups and rules that are already set up for the PO or Requisition Approval Process (Purchasing Approval Hierarchy)? I'd like to keep the maintenance all in one place rather than recreating all the rules in AME.
EBS 12.1.3

Hi,
Since it is a standard WF one cannot modify it.
If we modify the standard workflow theres a chance of our changes getting erased when a patch is applied to the instance.
One can create completey create a custom workflow and make it perform all the tasks performed by seeded workflow.
Thanks,
Vinod

Change Distribution in a active AP Invoice Approval workflow notification.

Hi Experts,
My client is using oracle 11i, we are in the process of configuring the oracle payable invoice approval workflow using AME.
We have a requirement where in the person who receives the workflow notifications should be able to modify the distribution in the invoice.
The approver may not have the Oracle Payable responsibility.
Is it possible? If yes then how?
Regards,
Vishvesh

Hi,
Using the Sysadmin responsibility, please submit "Workflow Background Process" with the below parameters and see if it helps:
Process Deferred: Y
Process Timeout: Y
Please also see the following notes;

Cross BG - AP Invoice Approval

We were exploring the option of using AME to implement an invoice approval process. However, the way OF has been implemented in the organization, each country's users are in different Business Groups.
However, the invoice approval would require different BG users to approve.
Can somebody please let us know firstly whether this is possible as standard functionality? If not, then how big a customization are we looking at. Is there a workaround that could be used while trying to keep customization as minimal as possible?
HR has been implemented as well in the Organization however cross-BG employer-supervisor relationship applicability check has not been enabled. Does this have any impact or benefit/use on the AP Invoice Approval process?
The version is eBS 11.5.10.
Any sort of input will be valuable. Thanks.
Edited by: UTP on Oct 27, 2009 3:20 PM

Just wondering to ask why you are having multiple BG defined,
Was that part of business requirement?
However i did consult one of my friend and he mentioned me the below mentioned thing:
User 1 is in India BG and User 2 is in UK BG
User 2 is created as an dummy emp in India BG and also as the supervisor for the User 1 in the person create and maintain record
Now in the workflow you can create a rule to send an email to User 2 whenever invoice approval is initiated based on the email.
This should send him an email and he would either accept/reject the same.
You might need to test this as we are just guestimating . so have a good time.
Thanks
Manish Jain.
