Approval Process in SSHR using Approval Management

Could any one suggest for the below mentioned issue ?
I have set up the approval process using approval management. But when I tried to test the approval process in both the ways ('Create a test transaction' and 'View a real transaction's approval process), I am receiving different error messages.
1. if I test by using 'View a real transaction's approval process'
receiving the error message saying "ORA-20001: The attribute TRANSACTION_REQUESTOR_PERSON_ID probably has an invalid query string. The attribute caused the following exception:
-972
ORA-00972: identifier is too long"
2. if I test by using 'create a test creation' receiving error message as "ORA-20001: Casey Browning (Browning, Doctor Casey) lacks a supervisor, so OAM cannot complete the chain of authority for the transaction"
What am i missing in the setups ?
which way is the recommended way to test the process ?
Your response is more appreciated.
Regards
Jhansi

For you to test Approvals, you have to setup a number of things;
1. Supervisor Hierarchy (If using that as hierarchy)
2. Job Levels (If using Job-level approvals)
3. New rules for SSHR functions.
The getApprStartingPointPersonId function returns the starting point person ID for the transaction in the HR_API_TRANSACTIONS table. It uses that to traverse the supervisor hierarchy based on the approval.
Hope this helps.

General Approval Process in SSHR

HI all
We are trying to get One way Approval process .That's when an applies or changes in personal forms ,Then it has to go it immediate manager.How to do this ? I need to know how to get this proceess to be done? If we need to use AME,what are basic steps to achieve this. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Kumar cs

Hi Kumar
You can set up AME Rules for standard Oracle Self Service Human Resources Transaction Type.
Go to AME Administrator => Approvals
Select Transaction Type => Oracle SSHR
Then create conditions on which you want to initiate your approval process. Base condition will be like your workflow process name and then you can go ahead and add different conditions in different scenarios.
Once you have defined the conditions define the group of persons you want to send the notification for approval or FYI.
and then create the rules by selected conditions and groups.
For detailed configuration you can go through the AME Developer guide at following link.

Hello
Thanks for your reply,
I have used BP to create and process change request. Only confused with the standard process and where to look for the change documents, thats the reason i couldnt see the requests and change their status.
I just want to know if you have customized any thing in to the standard configuration, say for e.g. if you want to add your own actions like in maintenance cycle after requests been released in development if you want to import automatically in QA which happens in case of Urgent corrections. What I need to do if I have to do such settings or change it in my standard configuration.
How can I change this standard configuration? Anyone has done such kind of customization?
Thanks for your help and more help on this topic will be appreciated.

Approval process not waiting for approval tasks to be completed

Hi All,
I created an Approval process for a resource. When a request is created for this resource an approval task is assigned to the manager of the user.
Before the approval task is completed by the manager the resource is getting provisioned. Is there something I am missing out here. Any suggestions about what I am missing here.
Thanks

The statuses shown are sometimes misleeding. There is a status for when the approval starts. There is a status when the Standard Approval process completes (this is normally set to auto complete). There there is a status for when the object specific approval starts, a status for if any of the approvals have been completed, and then one for when the whole request is completed. These don't neccessarily provide you with a sure answer to the status of the request.
I think you need to disregard the statuses for now, and just configure the approval tasks as you intend to do so. If you do not want the standard approval to be required, set the Approve task to use the auto complete adapter. Then create an approval process specific to your resource object, and set it to the default. Then create an approval task and make to uncheck the "conditional" checkbox so that it always runs. Set your assignments appropriately, and you will be done. The provisioning will not start until all tasks are completed with a complete status for the tasks within.
If you want to know the statuses between steps, then check those between all of the steps.

Shopping Cart approval process in SRM using Black Berry

Hi,
I am very new to SRM. Here the user wants the whole approval/rejection process of shopping cart should be done via the Black Berry.
When a shopping cart is created in SRM then automatically a mail should appear in this mail box(outlook or lotus) as well as in the black berry mail box, so from black berry the user will accept/reject the shopping cart.
What workflow should be used? for mailing to outlook as well as in the blackberry whether we should implement any BAdI and also for integrating SRM & black berry whether we require any plug-in or configuration to be done..
Please do the needful..
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
pl. read this:
Mobile Enterprise Buyer
Use
Users can log on to the Enterprise Buyer system using a WAP-enabled cellular phone or any other WAP-enabled front end. This allows them to perform many procurement tasks completely independently of any docking station. These mobile applications are part of the standard system setup for Enterprise Buyer.
Managers can approve shopping carts while on business trips far away from the office.
The start URL for the mobile scenarios is:
http://.:/scripts/wgate/wapbbpstart/!?~language=
where <language> = de or <language> = en, for example.
The initial screen is displayed in the relevant language.
Integration
You can either use your own WAP gateway or you can use a WAP gateway service from a telecommunications provider. If you have your own gateway, you can position it behind your firewall. This means that communication is via a dialup line as far as the WAP gateway, that is, a secure connection going behind the firewall. Beyond this point, communication is via HTTP. If you are using a WAP gateway service, the dialup line stops outside your firewall with the less secure HTTP communication starting outside the firewall.
The graphic shows a standard configuration with a WAP gateway located behind the firewall.
Prerequisites
You require the following:
WAP-enabled mobile device
WAP gateway
WML-enabled catalog that supports OCI
You have configured your Web server to handle the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types required for WAP. These are as follows:
File extension
MIME type
Wml
text/vnd.wap.wml
Wmlc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlc
Wmls
text/vnd.wap.wmlscript
Wmlsc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc
Wbmp
image/vnd.wap.wbmp
If you have your own Web server, you define the MIME types using the Web server's administration tools. In Microsoft IIS, you have to enter the types on the Properties page of your site on the tab card HTTP Headers. If you are not using your own Web server, inform the administrator or provider running the Web server.
Features
The following functions are available:
Create new shopping cart
Users can:
Select catalogs using input help
View catalogs (by product group)
Search for products in catalogs (full text)
Display item details
Add items to shopping carts
Delete items from shopping carts
Change item quantities
Delete shopping carts
Order shopping carts
When a shopping cart is ordered, an order confirmation is displayed giving the shopping cart name and the total value of the shopping cart.
Status check
Users can:
Display overview of shopping carts (shopping cart name and status)
Display header data for shopping carts (for example, shopping cart name and date of last change)
Inbox
Users can:
Display overview of work items (only shopping cart approval) and messages
Display detail view of messages (sender and full short text)
Display detail view of work items (full short text only)
Managers can approve or reject shopping carts
Managers can only approve or reject complete shopping carts. Approval and rejection at item level is not possible.
Reporting
Managers can display the most recent purchase orders created for their cost center(s).

Hi Pawan
I have a question regarding this thread.
In case we are using the webservice BWSP to send every user a hyperlink and I have passed the hyperlink in the mail step in workflow , so that on clicking on it they will be able to view their business workplace.
1.Where should we do the setting for the logon credentials that is on clicking the link every user is asked for their user id's and password and then the business workplace opens up.
2. Will he be able to execute the workitems or any other setting is also require.
Also,I was going through your post on using web service to send a link to outlook where in you mentioned a piece of code to generate the hyperlink dynamically since details of host and port may change.
Now how should the above setting for user credentials be maintained in that code.
Your comments would be valuable on this.

How to set the value of process variables/payload using a managed bean?

Hello,
Someone can give me an example about how to set the values of a process payload in a managed bean?
thank you!

private List<SelectItem> selectionList;
private String value = "B";
private RichSelectOneChoice selectOneChoice;
public SelectChoiceBean() {
initSelectionList();
public void setSelectionList(List<SelectItem> selectionList) {
this.selectionList = selectionList;

Using WF WS14000133 and WS14500015 in same approval process

Dear WF-Experts,
we want to use the WF WS14000133 and WS14500015 in same approval process in BAdi "Determination of Approver for n-Step Dynamic Approval Workflow".
For Example:
- Shopping cart with 3 items and total value 1000,. EUR
- first approval step financial for complete shopping cart cause total value
- second approval step for item 1 and 3 cause cost center
- not seperate approval for position 2
- third and final approval step for complete shopping cart cause total value
Thank you for your support
Best regards
Heinz-Georg

For one approval process you can use only one workflow. But as you want some steps for the complete shopping cart and others on line item, use the line item approval. If you want to do the approval on "header" level just make sure all the items get the same approval object guid. That way all the items are assigned to the same approver and in that way you have a "header" approval.
I used this for a similar requirement and it works fine.

Martin

Approval process in XML forms

Hi,
I am implementing XML forms with approval process.UI have created a news. and it goes to the folder /documents/news2
For Folder "News2" I have permission to one USER "Preeti " as approver.Everyone is Read access
Service Permissions that "Preeti" has Full control.and evryone "Unsubscribe only"I could not see option no service
Approval process has step of approving from user "Preeti"
I could now see the edit delete approval in the iview but for the authors and users with system admin role also the iView has option of Submit for approval and Skip approval.
Also I tried creating new user and for that the NEwsApproval iView does not show the link to create news.as shown in your fig.
So I want that the author only should see teh link submit approval and not skip approval.All other users even though a system admin but not a approver should not see that Submit approval.
Please request you to help me.

Hi Preeti,
                To see the 'New' link the user should have write access to that folder. Only then they can create xml items using the form.
                If you dont want to show the skip approval link to any one including admin, you can advance copy the layout set "NewsExplorer" and remove the command from resource command group.
               The approver also gets the submit for approval option and if he selects it, the document is sent to his own UWL for approval, if he is the only approver, otherwise sent to the next level approver.

Hi,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/EN/5c/b5a6783fc34466834fbc48def23d2d/frameset.htm

Level Type: There are 3 possible entries. Approval with completion, Approval and Automatic. Within
a completion step the document can be changed by the approver if the u2018Changeableu2019 flag is set.
Within the approval phase, the document can only be approved or rejected but not changed. It is not
possible to mix the two phases of completion and approval. The completion phase is always before
the approval phase. The automatic step is a final means of validating the approval process, and to
verify that at least one step was returned without any error (example: event 0EV999). Depending on
the task ID assigned to the automatic step, the document will then be either approved or rejected.

To Activate the Approval Process when document is in update mode

Dear Expert,
I have applied the Approval Process for UDF using the query "Select Distinct 'True' From ORDR T0
Where IsNull($[ORDR.U_Rebate.number],0)>0 and $[ORDR.DocType]='I' ".
Now as the field is UDF user is able to modify even after approval procedure.
Please help me to apply the above query for the Approval process even when the document is in update mode.
regards,
PankajK

Dear Pankaj,
Current B1 design only support approval for adding document. Update will not trigger approval.
You may use SP_TN instead to block user updating it. If you are not familiar with the SP, search the forum first.
Thanks,
Gordon

Oracle EAM Work Request Sequential Approval process

Can anyone confirm Oracle has standard functionality of sequentinal apprvoal process for eAM Work request.
Our current Oracle eAM project has requirement of multiple approver for Work request. Multiple approver means sequential approval process. After first approver approves it should go to second approval and continues.
I know Oracle eAM Work order has sequential approval process, but i want to know the same funcionality available for Oracle eAM work request as well. If Oracle has the functionality please provide the details. If Oracle doesnt have the functionality please let me know if this can be achived using Customization.
We are using Oracle R12 version.
Edited by: user13591749 on May 20, 2013 11:08 AM

Hello,
Work Requests do NOT use AME. Only 1-level approval is possible with Standard Functionality; NOT multi-level
Work Request Approval needs :
1. Oracle Workflow
2. Department Approver functionality
Here are the steps:-
1. Go to EAM parameters window. Under Work Request region uncheck the Auto Approve flag.
2. Define Primary Department Approver (Setup > Department Approver)
hope it helps...
=================================================================
Also,
• There is an AME transaction type and a workflow for EAM WO Completion.
• Not dependent on EAM Parameter : Enable workflow for work orders.

Approval Process Not triggering?

Hello,
I have created a simple Approval process in which request should go to the Beneficiary manager through JDEVELOPER. I have also registered this Approval process with OIM.
After that i have created two Approval policies..
REQUEST LEVEL--
This is Auto Approved.
Approval Rule :: Template Name equals Provision Resource.
Set Priority : 1 (Request Type=Provision Resource)
OPERATIONAL LEVEL --
Approval Process attcahed at this level.
Approval Rule :: Template Name equals Provision Resource.
When i am creating a request for a particular resource the request is getting assigned to XELSYSADM by default (as per the Developers Guide for OIM 11g, if no approval policy is attached with the template the default Approval process gets trigerred and the request gets assigned to XELSYSADM.)
Can somebody help me by telling why the Default Approval process is getting triggered and not the one which i have attached at the Operational level?
Am i missing Something?
Thanks in Advance.

As i have mentioned earlier, it is configured such that the appropriate approval process is triggered when a request for particualr resources is requested.
There are multiple tasks in each one of the approval process.
The approvals were triggering well 2 days ago and suddenly there seams to be a problem in the approval triggering.
The approval process was not edited / updated for any of these resources. Wondering why suddenly OIM does not work well for the approval triggering???
here the problem is none of the configured approval processes are triggering. Its not just one approval process but all 12 approval processes (including standard approval) are not triggering when the request is raised.
Appreciate your help till now, please suggest me how to make OIM trigger the approvals again!
Thanks
