AME: Reject Invalid Internet Expenses

Question

Hi,
If possible, I would like to create a rule in AME that rejects all iExpenses that contain invalid project codes. We currently have cross-validation rules (in GL) that will send the erroneous reports to the sysadmin, but we would like to reject the report at its creation without further action needed (like a sysadmin contacting the user). Ideally we want to create a rule in AME along the lines, "If a project number is listed on the internet expense and it is not a number from a pre-defined set of valid numbers, then the entire expense report is rejected automatically." Will this require writing an new action type or further customization? Plan B would be to set up a "dummy" supervisor for all projects that automatically rejects all expense reports that do not come from the pre-defined list of acceptable project codes. If neither of these are practical, other ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Answer 1

I've amended the attribute transaction_requestor_person_id to dynamically select which is the requestor depending on the expense report. Step 2 is to add the action type 'absolute_job_level' to the 'OIE Expense Reports. I've assigned an absolute job level of '1' to my boss' job. I then raised a web expense of $6500. Now i haven't set up any conditions so I'm expecting the expense report to go directly to my boss for approval. However it doesn't, it automatically self approves even though it notifies my boss.
