APINV : Workflow Action History empty for approvers.- WF Note Empty

I have the invoice approval workflow working in Ebus. When the person (Person A) first receives the customised approval notification they have the WF_NOTE attribute and fill it in accordingly, they submit it to Person B.
When the next person (Person B) in the approval list gets the notification, there is no entry for the comments that person A has entered in the Action History.
If we go back to Person A's closed notifications, we can see their comment in their action history.
The Action history shows for Person A:
Line 1
From : Sysadmin
To : Person A
Details :
Line 2
From : Person A
To : Workflow System
Details : COMMENTS Entered.
Person B Sees
Line 1
From : Person A
To : Person B
Details :
is there a way to do this? or Am I missing something?
I have looked at Metalink and followed the note "Why Action History in APINV (AP Invoice) Approval Notification does not Show Approver's Comments in Details Column ? [ID 804497.1]" but still nothing showing in the approvers list.
Any Ideas Appreciated.

I can see that it is to do with the NID and process ID for the particular notification and it just shows comments relevant to that notification, but nothing in relation to the preceding notifications.

If the two are different notifications , then there would not be the action history shown from the old notification which has been responded.
If you still want to show the action history, then you can have a custom action history table in your notification. This can be done using a special message attribute
with the internal name #HISTORY to replace the default action history table provided by Oracle Workflow with a custom action history region.
Your custom action history table must be defined as an Oracle Application Framework region, or as a PL/SQL or PL/SQL CLOB document that contains text or HTML. For
more information about building an Oracle Application Framework region, refer to Oracle Application Framework Developer's Guide, available from OracleMetaLink note
391554.1.
Hope that helps !

  • ECM - History Requirement for BOM status not activated

    Hello,
    He have an issue with the warning message  displayed when we are trying to modificate an BOM (transaction CS02).
    In OS25 transaction we defined that only BOMs with "usage = 1" and "status = 3" have history requirement.
    The parameters of OS27 transaction are OK too.
    The problem is that the warning message 045 is displayed when we execute CS02 for every kind of BOM usage and status.
    We must substitute the warning message by an error message. To do that, we must disable the field NOHIS in C_STUE_NOH object, in the user profile. But, when we do that, the error message is displayed to all kind of BOMs status, blocking the process (following the warning message, which is displayed to all kind of BOM status)
    This is an issue of SAP_APPL 470 system.
    We tested the similar procedure in an SAP_APPL 603 system, and the results were OK, in other words, the warning message is only displayed for the BOM usage and BOM status defined in OS25 transaction.
    Thank's in advance

    When the BOM with usage 1 and status 3, by example, is changed with a modification number (following OS25 parameters), the field STZU-HISTK is activated.
    Then, if the status of the BOM is changed to 2, the modification number is required, because the STZU-HISTK is activated.
    In OS25 transaction only the BOm usage = 1 and BOM status = 3 has the history requirement flag, but after the modification with the mod. number, all the status of the BOM now has the modification number requirement.
    How can I allow the modification of the BOM without modification number (other status not flagged in OS25), if this BOM hal already been changed with an modification number (by the status flagged in OS25)?
    Thank's in advance

  • Approval status of PR is in process, but action history show 'Approve'

    Dear all,
    I am on EBS 11.5.10.2 and encountered a problem during the approval process of PR.
    The approval hierarchy with PR is planner -> approver1 -> approver2,
    and approver2 is the final approver.
    Everything of the approval process is OK except that the action performed
    by approver1 shown in Action History is 'Approve', but not the appropriate
    'Forword'.
    Sequence Performed By Action Approval Status
    0 planner Submit
    1 planner Forward In Process
    2 approver1 Approve In Process <---- Here the 'Approve' action should be shown as 'Forward'
    3 approver2 Approve Approved
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

    For requisitions the action taken by the approver is recorded. If they click on Approve, the same is recorded in action history.Shivaraj, for POs with the similar position hierarchy, if the approve1 click on Approve, action history does show 'Forward'.
    Do you mean the action taken by the approver1 is different between Requisitions and POs?

    You can try to set the FND: View Object Max Fetch Size to a value that would allow more data to be returned. However, be aware that this can cause performance issues.

  • How to tell if column value has changed for use in workflow actions

    Hello,
    I am using Sharepoint 2010 and for one of my Lists, I am using a general list workflow.  What I need to be able to do is determine if a column value has change (say an "Assigned To" field) because I only want to take some action if that particular
    value has changed.  I want to be able to have a workflow action that would be something like:
    If Current Item: Assigned To not equals [OLD VALUE]
    I have found some web searches that talk about creating a duplicate list or duplicate (but hidden) column but that doesn't seem to be the way to go.  I have document versioning set but don't if that can be used to help with this.  One possible
    thought (although I haven't tried it to see if it works) is to create local variables and have the values in the variables be the "old value".  Just not sure if there is a best practices for doing this.
    Thanks for any thoughts - Peter

    Helen,
    Not sure I fully understand your goal.  We don't use "tasks" at all but if you are looking to have your workflow check certain valus and be able to send email messages to people based on whatever, then you can certainly do that (as long as your Sharepoint
    has the email setup.  We do this for alot of workflow tasks.
    So, in the workflow you can have a blanket statement like what I previously listed:
    if Current Item:hiddenStatus  not equals Current Item:Status
        .... do something
    or you can do something like:
    if Current Item:hiddenStatus equals "In-Progress"
        .... do something
    Else if Current Item:hiddenStatus  equals "Completed"
        .... do something
    or combine the two and do nested "if" statements.  Then you add an email statement wherever you need it like:
    if Current Item:hiddenStatus  equals "Completed"
       then email "these users"
    To add the email part, just type in "email" on the line where you want to add a statment.  There is only one option to choose from.  That will display the line "then email these users".   The "these users" will be a link.  When you
    click it you will get a popup to add the email info.  We typically will send the email to a user (or users) that are already listed in one of the PeoplePicker fields.  On the email form, you can type in your own text, designate that a value is based
    on a column value (like our PeoplePicker), designate that a value is based on a workflow variable, add a link to the current item, etc.  To get to these options you will click the button to the right of the fields or use the "Add or Change Lookup" button
    in the bottom-left for the text area.  There is alot you can set in the mail.
    Does this help answer your question?

  • Specific Due Date Syntax for Create Task Workflow Action

    I'm looking for a formula which will create a monthly due date on a specific day of the month (ie 1st or 15th). I have figured out a way to create recurring activities through workflows by adding a recuurence picklist but I currently only have monthly recurrences as Today()+30 which works but is not as clean as a monthly task that occurs on the 15th of every month.

    Record Type=Activity
    Event=When modified record saved
    Workflow condition=FieldValue('<Type>')='To Do' AND FieldValue('<plRecurrence_ITAG>')='Every 30 days' AND FieldValue('<Status>')='Completed'
    Actions=Create Task
    Recurrence picklist is a required field and is chosen be the end user upon creation of the original activity (Type=To Do). The duplicate activity is created upon completion (see condition) and now the end user has a recurring task due 30 days out. this future task has the recurrence in the subject (since the recurrence field cannot be defined in the workflow action) and the end user is prompted by the system to complete the activity record (choose a recurrence) upon trying to save the record as complete or by clicking the "Mark as completed" button. Thus the cycle is repeated.
    All I'm trying to figure out is instead of having the formula [<DueDate>]+30 in the Due Date* field within the create task workflow action, I'd like a formula that can choose a specific day of the month. I've tried combinations of cast, concat, timeframe, month, year...expressions to give me the date value I'm looking for (ie 4/15/2011) but I can't get the syntax to work. all I need is that syntax that can provide a specific date (4/15/2011) derived from the due date.

  • Action history

    Hi
    1. Attaching Action history to the new timed out notification.
    I am sending a approval notification to the User(A), User(A) reassign notification to next User(B).Now User(B) will get notification having Action history. Notification also has Timeout functionality.
    Once the timeout occurs a notification is resend to the same user(B), but this time we loose the old action history, as after timeout a new notification is sent.
    do we have any faculty to include old action history to the new timed out notification.
    Now if user B does not respond within 30 min, Notification will get timed out and I am again sending a new notification to the User(B) , Now User(B) should also see the Old action history, the history that was available into the notification before timed out happened.
    2. REASSIGNMENT
    While reassignment, is it possible to send a read-only copy of same mail to the another user, other than the Recipient.
    The requirement is, to acknowledge the originator of the mail to keep in loop for every reassignment, to track the the movement to the notification been reassigned.
    As this is urgent requirement, requesting you all to respond to this mail ASAP.

    Hi,
    I´m quite sure you need to edit WF HTML procedures to do that.
    1. You need to create an atributte in your oracle workflow to save your history. Everytime you click reassign button, you save your history there. Then, when a timeout occurs, you read this atributte and compose your message.
    2. Also you need to create an atributte to save the originator of the message. Then alter WF HTML scripts to read this atribute and send a notification for the originator of the message everytime somebody clicks "reassign button".
    I know I´ve explained it shortlly, but my OWF is down and I can´t test it know to help you better.
    I hope its in time,

  • "Unable to load workflow actions from server. Please contact your server."

    I get the following error message when I want to create or open a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2007
    "unable to load workflow actions from server. Please contact your server
    administrator."
    I don't receive this error as a site collection administrator, but one of my contributors gets the error.

    What Chris mentioned is kind of abnormal situation described in
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA102379121033.aspx#20.
    However, normally, you won’t be able to create SPD workflow if you only have Contribute permission level. I give the user Design permission level then he can
    create SPD workflow.
    There are other factors affecting permission to create SPD workflow:
    1.     
    According to
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101005871033.aspx#4
    , the SPD workflows are stored in a site-level hidden document library called Workflows. You should make sure that user have permission in this document library so that the created workflow can be saved successfully.
     http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepointdesigner/archive/2008/11/25/locking-down-sharepoint-designer.aspx
    describe the method to manage permission for this hidden Workflows document library: open the site in SharePoint Designer >> right-click the Workflows library >> click Properties >> click the Security tab >> click the link “Manage
    permissions using the browser”
    2.     
    SharePoint Designer contributor setting (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101174691033.aspx
    ) can also block the user from being able to create workflows.
