AME for PO Approvals 11i

Hi,
We have a requirement to use AME for core procurement, specifically for purchase order approvals in 11i.
Does AME support PO approvals / re-approvals in 11.5.10 for core Procurement module? If yes, has anyone tried to customize AME for PO approvals in 11i.
Thanks...

Dear Members
I am implementing AME for SSHR approvals and facing a prloblem in approvals.
Current setup have more than 1 position hierarchies and one position may be in 3/4 hierarchy being used for different purposes.
I am using the following query in TOP_POSITION_ID attribute to find the top position id:
* select distinct DECODE(BUSINESS_GROUP_ID,81,4132) TOP_POSITION_ID
FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F WHERE PERSON_ID =
hr_ameutil_ss.get_requestor_person_id(:transactionId) *
but while sending transactions in SSHR for approval, it is not send to the right way and are being sent to wrong persons.
what can be the reason and solution.
Regards

Which approval group are you using. Are those custom approval groups or you are using seeded supervisor hierarchy approval groups

OTL and AME for complicated approvals

Hi,
Is it possible to use AME along with AME . Our requirement is time card should go for min 2 approval employee supervisor and manager if supervisor is not at senior position in that case one more approval is required .
Secondly i employee working hours are more than 40 hours in that case chairman or concerned Senior Manager Approval is required we are able to send time card to supervisor and manager but when ever other two cases arises specially more than 40 hours time card should go for senior manager approval.
I didn't use OTL before if it is possible using fast formula or any other mean kindly guide us.
thanks

Gaurav,
AME and WF work hand in hand. I believe ML Doc 378312.1 (What are the ramifications of implementing AME with workflow already set up?) will answer your questions.

To Access AME for iProcurement, does the user needs to be set up as a buyer ?

Hello,
We are on Oracle R12.1.3.
We are switching on the Approval Management Engine (AME) for iProcurement and Purchasing.
we are about to assign the AME responsibilities “Approvals Management Administrator” and “Approvals Management Business Analyst” to a user , USER123
Does USER123 need to be set up as a buyer to create AME rules ?
Regards,
Natalia

AME rules for iProcurement are defined for requester. So to test the AME rule itself, you need not be a buyer.
Besides, configuration responsibility can be granted to any employee (From IT department) who may not be a buyer in the role.
So the answer is "Not required"

AME & AP Invoice approvals

Our customer needs to use AME with parallel approvals and with the voting paradigm ( First Responder Wins ) for AP Invoice Approval. We are on Release 12.1.1 . Is this feature currently supported and if not is there a timeline for this feature to be made available for AP Invoice Approval.

Hi,
Please see if these documents help.

AME for Custom Workflow

Hi
I have created a custom workflow and I want to implement approvals as well in that workflow. I want to use AME for that because AME will give following functionalities
1. Return for Correction
2. Update Action
3. Adding ad-hoc approvers
Is there any document that refer to workflow and AME integration ?
Do all above functions (1,2,3) will automatically exist in AME or I have to implement those functions

How can i use AME for the new OAF page.

Dear all,
I have developed a new OAF page and registered under Employee Self Service.
How can i use AME for the approval process.
Appreciate your ideas?
zamora

I will try to answer based on my experience of working with iProcurement and AME. It depends on how you want to make a call to AME , directly from OAF Page or from Workflow and your requirement. You didn't specify what you want to show the users on OAF Page and your business requirement.
Before calling AME Engine from the OAF page or workflow, I guess you did already setup AME Transaction Type and it's Approval Groups, Conditions, Action Types and Rules. Do some testing from AME Business Analyst Test Workbench. Please note that, AME provides lot of PL/SQL API's that you have to call from your programs (java or workflow pl/sql)
Let's look at the workflow and putting an OAF Page as notification.
As Sameer said, you have kick-off workflow process from PR of CO and with in the workflow function, you make a call to AME Engine API's with the AME Transaction ID. This transactionId belongs to the AME Transsaction Type that you setup. Based on the rules setup, AME Engine generates list of approvers/approver and stores them AME Tables for that transactionId. Then, it sends a notification to the approver.
In the workflow, where that notification is defined, in the message body you have to put an attribute(&XX_WF_FWK_RN) of type document/send. And this attribute will have the constant JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_FUNC&paramId=-&DOCUMENT_ID-. This function is SSWA Jsp function that makes a web html call to your OAF Region.
If your requirement is to just show the list of approvers on the OAF Page, you may have to call AME API diectly passing your AME TrasnactionId with other parameters. Then AME generates list of approvers and stores them in AME tables with each approver status. You can pickup those approvers using VO and show them on OAF Page.
Hope this gives some idea.

AME for Purchase Requisitions

Hello All
I am in the process of setting up AME in R12.1.2 for purchase requisitions and got struck with an issue
My requirement is to route the requisition to a particular job based on the item category and the requisition total. I setup conditions, action types and approval groups and then the rule.
When I used static in my Approval Group setup it works fine with out issues however we do not want to use static as employees keep changing and want my approval driven out of the job hence updated the approval group to use Dynamic usage type and used the below query to pick the name of the employee based on the job.
select papf.full_name from per_all_assignments_f paaf, per_all_people_f papf, per_jobs pej where
paaf.person_id = papf.person_id
and sysdate between paaf.effective_start_date and paaf.effective_end_date
and paaf.job_id = pej.job_id
and pej.name like 'IT.Group IT Operations Manager.Staff'
Now when trying to create a requisition it shows up a message that "Approval List could not be generated. Please contact your System Administrator to review AME rules setup."
When validated the above query it says query is valid but still not working. I even tried with person_id but still no luck
Thanks a ton in advance
Regards
Dilip

EP6.0 SP2 to EP 7 upgrade - UWL not working for PCR approvals

Hi there,
Following the EP 7.0 migration, the UWL is not working for PCR approvals. Following the registration of the WebFlowConnector, using the default configuration, clicking a PCR approval item in the Inbox brings up the following error:
HTTP handler for starting an external service cannot be read
In order to rectify this, the following configuration file was uploaded.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE UWLConfiguration PUBLIC '-//SAP//UWL1.0//EN' 'uwl_configuration.dtd' [ ]>
<UWLConfiguration version="1.0">
<ItemTypes>
    <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS50000075" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="defaultView" defaultAction="launchIView" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="D46CLNT080" externalType="TS50000075" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchIView" handler="IViewLauncher">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="iview" value="com.sap.pct.hcm.isrdispatcher.default"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default="launchIView"/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>
</ItemTypes>
</UWLConfiguration>
Following the new configuration, clicking the item HAS NO EFFECT i.e. no window, no action, nothing. The only available option available is an option to Forward the item.
I have tried the following ItemType names with the same result:
1. uwl.task.webflow.TS50000075.D46CLNT080
2. uwl.task.webflow.D46CLNT080_TS50000075
Has anyone encountered this before?
Cheers
John

FYI. The problem seems to be occuring as a result of the running EP7.0 with a SAP R/3 46C backend.
I did manage to get this working in the end. I had to create an iView say "myISRDispatcher" based on the portal component com.sap.pct.hcm.isrdispatcher.default. Update the UWL configuration to refer tot his PCD location as shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE UWLConfiguration PUBLIC '-//SAP//UWL1.0//EN' 'uwl_configuration.dtd' [ ]>
<UWLConfiguration version="1.0">
<ItemTypes>
    <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS50000075" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="defaultView" defaultAction="launchIView" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="D46CLNT080" externalType="TS50000075" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchIView" handler="IViewLauncher">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="iview" value="pcd:portal_content/myISRDispatcher"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default="launchIView"/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>
</ItemTypes>

Using AME for auto approval of requisitions

Hi,
Is there a way to handle a scenario with AME where we need to have the requisition auto-approved whenever the amount is less than 1K.
I am able to use AME for all other scenarios, where the requistion moves for a different person's approval. But what about auto-approval ?
Pls help me on this.
Regards,
Sambit

On 'Purchase Requisition' Document type, check 'Owner can approve' checkbox.
In AME, set the attribute ALLOW_EMPTY_APPROVAL_GROUPS and ALLOW_REQUESTOR_APPROVAL to true and test.
Have a condition so that it retrieves empty approver group or the requestor himself as the approver.
Thanks
Pradeep
