Basic techno functional question on PCG flow rule.

Question

Lets say i want to create a flow rule to enforce approval for contractor user accounts in EBS. Iam able to generate a approval notification when a contractor user account is created. Also by a form rule i have defaulted an end date for the user account by which the account cannot be accessed until its approved. Now lets say the notification is approved, how will i bring in this approval and release the end date in the user account automatically.
I saw the examples use a sql to pass this approval but they are using some custom package.procedure for this. But iam not sure if i can use this but i need a way to achieve this.Can someone share their thoughts on this?

Answer 1

Yes, i did look at that. They are using the following. They are custom packages. Does this mean that we need to write custom package for each and every process flow which involves approval process?
