Approval Management for Receivable Invoice Adjustments

How can we create a new transaction type in AME and link it with AR Adjustments ?
AR Adjustments already have inbuit approval flow..do we need to tweak the AR Adjustments workflow

I have installed the patch 5679736 and still got the same error. :(
I seems that the AME engine and the AP WORKFLOW are not link with each other...coz everytime we setup a transaction in AP workflow there is no matching applicable role at the AME, but is it existing on AME.
One more thing I noticed...
On our linux 11i test server where the WORKFLOW CONFIGURATION works fine, we selected the following tables
because the drop down list for NOTIFICATION STYLE (e.g. thru email) has value:
select count(*) from wf_gbx_roles; 16
select count(*) from wf_gbx_ur; 70
But on the AIX 11i PROD server where we got problem the tables has no rows; hence the the WORKFLOW CONFIGURATION window has no selected list of values for NOTIFICATION STYLE.
How can this tables be populated? :(
Why is that 11i on Linux is better than 11i in AIX
On the AIX side,
======================
select patch_level
from fnd_product_installations
where patch_level like '%AP%';
no rows selected;
=======================
select distinct patch_level from fnd_product_installations;
11i.AD.I.4
11i.FV.F
11i.GM.I
11i.OKE.H
11i.PSA.F
========================
So I think I need to apply patch 3653484 ?
The following patches are required prior to applying Oracle Financials Family Pack G and are available through OracleMetaLink. (Required)
1. AD patch 4038964 (11i.AD.I.1 Mini-pack)
2. FND patch 3262159 (11i.FND.H Mini-pack)
3. XDO patch 3263588 (11i.XDO.H)
4. BNE patch 3218526 (11i.BNE.D)
5. FUN patch 3706130 FUN splice patch (required for 11i.OIE.J which is included in 11i.FIN_PF.G)
6. XML patch 3822219 XDO/ORACLE XML PUBLISHER OA ROLLUP PATCH 5.0.0
7. XML patch 3435480 Publishing Concurrent Requests with XML Publisher
8. EGO patch 3931732 EGO ADSPLICE ARU CHECKIN
Goodness so plenty of pre-requisites, do I have to install all of these?
Thanks a lot

Approval Query for AP Invoices Containing Budget Related GL Account

Hi Experts,
I would like to create a approval template for all AP invoices that include a GL account that is related to the budget. Can you please help me with the approval query?
Thank you!
Jane

Hello Gordon Du,
"B1 approval will only apply to document level. If you want to check line level, only the first line can be subjected to."
I was thinking to trigger the approval process based on a document (AP invoice) containing relevant cost centres on a line by line basis as entered via one of the enabled dim fields.
Writing a trigger query for each cost centre effected? This does not appear to be a good solution, what is a better direction. Is there another way? (PO are not yet used via SAPB1)
Currently my invoices add, but do not trigger the approval process based on my attempts thus far.
Can the originator manually choose an approval pathway?
If this is against posting etiquette delete and advise.
I am a relative newbie to SAP B1, so am happy to be pointed to relevant help files. I arrived via google searching and arrived here.
Thankyou.

Oracle Approval Management for Quotes

Hi,
When a sales representative creates a quote the quote should go to his manager for approval.
That is it should follow the sales group hierarchy for approval .
I have created a approver group with dynamic query :
select distinct 'person_id:'||qrslt.source_id from (SELECT g.group_name, g.GROUP_ID, g.parent_group_id,
gvl.start_date_active, gvl.end_date_active,
RS.RESOURCE_NAME,
GVL.GROUP_DESC,
MR.RESOURCE_ID,
rs.source_id
FROM (SELECT group_name, GROUP_ID, parent_group_id
FROM jtf_rs_grp_denorm_vl
WHERE denorm_level = 1
) g,
jtf_rs_group_mbr_role_vl mr,
JTF_RS_RESOURCE_EXTNS_VL RS,
jtf_rs_groups_vl gvl,aso_quote_headers_all aqh
WHERE mr.GROUP_ID = g.GROUP_ID
AND gvl.GROUP_ID = g.GROUP_ID
AND mr.resource_id = rs.resource_id
and MR.MANAGER_FLAG = 'Y'
and G.GROUP_ID=AQH.RESOURCE_GRP_ID
and AQH.QUOTE_HEADER_ID = :transactionId
)qrslt
How to attach it to action type as when I test it no approvers are shown.

Have you defined conditions/Rules?
What is your exact issue?
does your query gives you results when running standalone?

Hi Kashif,
Thanks for your response.
For the Invoice Approver question:-
Ques:- if the Invoice is Not-Approved (or) if it needs Re-approval, If Invoice Approval Status <> Approved, then what is the name of the person which we are waiting for approval..
As you said the ap_wfapproval_history_v table , I'm not sure whether this table has history data (or) can i get Next Approver from this table.
I tried to do in this scenario :- For one invoice_id which needs Re-approval, when i looked into ap_wfapproval_history_v table with this invoice_id there are 4 Approver names ,against each of these approvers the Response column shows either SENT or APPROVED. So, how will i know by which Approver this Invoice needs
Re-Approval.
please could you clarify.
Thanks
Pravin

Supplier Invoice Adjustments hitting AP Liability Account

Hi,
Can someone please help me to understand why some of project supplier inv cost adjustments hitting the AP liability account. The cost distribution line accounts look good. But the Create Accounting process debits the AP liability account. We haven't customnized any SLA accounting rules.
As per our Auto-accounting rules, it is not supposed to touch the Liability account. And it doesn't happen to all cost lines or all projects.
Appreciate any help to understand the flow of accouting for Supplier Invoice Adjustments
Thanks.

Hi Suresh,
With encumbrance accounting, you can track the amount to be spent in Payables that was encumbered in Purchasing. This might help get you the results you need.
Unfortunately, I cannot think of an option for you that would work in standard accrual accounting. In the current model, an accounting event is created only during validation, and accounting is driven off of the events that are created.

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,

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.

Approval Workflow for Invoice

Hi,
In our scenario we want only the user with specific role and user Ids to be able to approve the invoices and different approvers for SC AND GRN also based on user ids and roles.
As a standard I beleive if we create a user as manager of Porg by default this user is used as approving authority for all the docs.Pls correct me.
Pls let me know how to achieve the same.
Thanks,
Manu

Hi Manu,
In workflow agent assignment concept is there. first find out the workflow the one which do you want control then go to OOCU t-code and there you can see agen assignmnet .
Here you can add either user level or specific role users who can approve the SC's or GR's.
Thanks

How to implement Approval hierarchy for Sales Order in Order Management.

Hi,
We need approval process for sale orders in Order Management module. Currently we are using credit HOLD option for orders at shipping level. The issue we are facing now is we can not cancel those orders who contains Service Line item in it while on HOLD. The restriction raised at the time of cancelling the order that the Line Item is "fulfilled". Service line item's get fulfilled.
Is that any other possibility to have Approval hierarchy for Sales Orders in Order Management Module? If it is possible can anybody share the related document or implementation guide?
Thanks with anticipation in advance.
Many Regards
Kaleem Bhatti

I copied the standard order header workflow and the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to custom workflows. I then modified the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to put another completely custom workflow (call this "Approvals") in between the "Book Eligible" and "Book" steps.
The "Approvals" step assessed the sales order, changed the order header to the pending approval flow_status_code, and sent out the appropriate notifications. The "Approvals" step returned a Complete/Incomplete where complete would proceed to "Book" and incomplete would go back to "Book Eligible." The new workflow was then assigned to the order type needed. I don't still have access to that environment (job change) or I would give more definite instructions.

Setting approval level for credit management in SD

Dear Gurus,
I have a case like this:
My client would like to use credit management in SD. They have few approval levels for for credit limit release.
Exp: With SD has amount under from 1000$, Mr. A has the right to approve and release it
        With SD has amount bigger than 1000$, Mr. A have to release it and then Mr. B check again afterwards Mr. B can reject and release it up to his decision.
As I see in SAP, maybe there is only one level for check and after release the SO doesn't need other approve anymore. But I am still concerning about how to find or config to satisfy this requirement.
Thank for nice support!

You can ask your ABAPer such that your view contains the above mentioned fields and in the the approvers you have to enter the "Pernr id" s of approver s which can be taken from HR people.

GRC AC V10 - one approval step for manager and role owner

Hello Community,
I have one, perhaps easy, question. Where is it possible to maintain the solution of one approval step for manager and roleowner, if both are unique.
E.g.:
simple approval workflow: manager stage afterwards roleowner stage afterwards auto-provisioning
So if the request is routed to the manager and the manager is also the roleowner of the requested authorization role (same UserID). The user has to approve one and the same request twice.
Is it possible in V.10 to change the config that the user has only to approve the request once? And then to decide on which relevant stage settings are valid for this process.
Thanks,
Alexa

Hi Alexa,
We have had a similar questions raised in a project. In an ideal world, a single "Sign-off approval" would be a great functionality where the same user has to approve the same consecutive stages, but the reason for different stages would entail that the responsibilities entailed per stage differ, e.g. Line Manager would just check the over request, and the role owner etc may be reviewing the elegibility of a specifc role etc.
If it is likely to be the same person reviewing the 2 consecutive stages, maybe a single stage workflow would be sufficient to cover this scenario.
I think the logic you are trying to configure in the workflow is possible but will require alot of work with knowing how to create a clever custom workflow with BRF+ or the actual WF stuff in SAP itself.

Oracle Workflow configuration in ADF for Approval Management

Hi,
Is there anyway to integrate the oracle workflow with ADF application so that we can have approval process also just like Self Service transaction.
If not then how can we achive the approval management in ADf based application.
Thanks,
Tarun

Tarun,
There are no "steps" per se. You develop an application, and in that application you can use the workflow API's to do stuff. The app we built encapsulated everything into PL/SQL stored procedures, so we just called stored procs from service methods in ADF application modules to do what we needed to do. Sorry I don't ahve anything more detailed to share, but it really is just "develop a custom application that happens to use workflow APIs." If you had a specific question, I'd be happy to try to answer.
I did not try to use AME, so I cannot comment on that. As far as I know, the "classic" Oracle Workflow product has been desupported for use in standalone applications, so if I were doing this today, I would not be developing new applications using Oracle Workflow, but would be using the capabilities in SOA Suite.
