Customization to Add Approver to Requisition Approver List

Hi
We use a Position Hierarchy to determine the Approver List for a PO Requisition Approval
However we also use Project Costing, and would like to dynamically add the Project Managers into the Approver List for Requisition lines coded to their Projects.
Does anyone have any experience doing this ? Know of any Open API calls that will allow this?
I have been through the Workflow and have designed the Process flow changes required, but cannot find any documentation on "dynamically" adding an additional approver into the Approver List.
Thanks

I have completed work on this and it will require use of the Applications Framework to add in the appropriate user. You will need to work with the Controller for the page as well as the AM for some validation.
In short you need to complete Applications Framework customisations to get this information.

Requisition approver list

I am customizing PO Requisition Approval workflow and modifying the Approval List Routing Using AME process. I am adding a node which kicks off a plsql process to update some custom tables.
The purpose of this customization is to get who last approved (the previous approver) the requisition and who is the next approver. The workflow item attribute APPROVER_EMPID is helpflul to know who the current approver. But I also need who was the previous approver. Any easier way to get this info or any oracle table ?
I tried FORWARD_FROM_ID which always has the emp id of the person who submitted the requistion, not the last approver. Any suggestions to get this info ?
Thanks

If the requisition is already approved once, then you can take the approver name from the following query by joining with hr_employees/per_people_f
select employee_id from po_action_history where object_type_code = 'REQUISITION' and action_code = 'APPROVE'

Add custom fields in Approval List

Hi,
How can I add more information to the Pending Approval List?
I've seen in the database that the "request preview" column in the list is html code filled into the REQ table.
May be there is a configuration to determine which fields are included in the request preview Column.
Thank You.

Hi,
Just go through the API userd to submit a provisioning request. All those field will there in request details from where you can fetch required information.
But this required lot of customiztion on end user screen and database level.

Requisition Approvals AME errors on Approval List Rebuild When an Employee

We're using AME for requisition approvals which contains several dynamic approver groups.
The problem is that the approval list can be large and depending on how long it takes the requisition to be approved a person who has already approved the requisition might be terminated in Oracle. The approval list rebuilds after each subsequent approval and errors at the point where the termed person falls in the list.
How can we work around this? Is there a way to get AME to NOT rebuild the list once the approval is in process? Or is there a way to have it not look at stages of the approval list where approval has already happened?
Thanks,
Suzanne

Hi All,
We have found out the Problem for the above issue.
The PREPARER_ID in the PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL table is coming as -1 which should not be. The user is linked to HR User and in FND_USER table we can see the employee id.
Can someone suggest on this if we have miss something.

Application on approved list won't open

I am running a lab using the Mac OX Server (Leopard) and have had several problems with applications being on the "approved list" but not allowing the user to open them. iPhoto is one of them and the newest is a free program called TextWrangler. Students are logging in to their own hard drive, using the applications that are on the computer. These programs work when logged in to the computer, but not the server. A message always pops up saying the program is not on the approved list to contact the person who set it up. Can anyone help, please?

Kimberly, there are a couple of things you can try.
In Workgroup Manager, in your group preferences, under 'Applications' where you're managing what apps they can use, you can try adding the applications in question as if they were folders.
So by this I mean, where you see the tabs Applications|Folders, select folders and where it says "Allow applications within these folders" click the plus icon and navigate to the application in question as if it were a folder.
An application is basically a folder (there are a bunch of files inside it) but it doesn't behave like one when you double click it (instead it launches).
Once you have saved your preferences it would be a good idea to delete the managed preferences on the client machine before testing again.
These are located /Library/Managed Preferences/
(note that that is the main "Library" folder at the root of the Macintosh HD not a users Library folder.)
You can delete the whole "Managed Preferences" folder.
This folder temporarily stores the settings that are being sent to the client by the server so that they don't have to be downloaded each time a user logs in, and you're deleting it to be sure your new settings are being downloaded.
I have personally found that I 'do' need to sign my applications under some circumstances. Where are you using WorkGroup Manager? Are you using it on the server or are you using it on one of the client machines? If you're using WGM on the server to add applications, have you checked that the versions of the applications on the server are the same as on the client? Have you tried logging in as admin to one of the client machines, and using Workgroup Manger, adding the application directly from the client machine?
Sorry for the overly long post.

In SP3 you can get a DesktopBackingContext, from which you can get the desktop's definitionLabel or title. Perhaps that will work for you?

Setup Approver List in LMS 3.1

Hi All, Has anyone setup approval feature in LMS3.1. I want it to setup for my customer. Customer wants that helpdesk will create a job and then it should come to Network Manager for approval and without approval job should not be executed.
Can anyone explain me how does it work and what is the requirement to achieve this and what are the step involve in it.

Help desk users typically don't create jobs. This task usually falls to Network Operators. They would create a job, then before the job could run, it would require approval from someone on the approval list. That approver need not have any other access to LMS except to approve jobs (i.e. they would only be given the Approver role). If the job is not approved by the time it is scheduled to run, then it will be canceled.
To setup an approver list, you need to first add users to LMS with the Approver role. Then go to RME > Admin > Approval > Create/Edit Approver Lists, and create a list. You can assign an approver list to a various job-based task under the Assign Approver Lists TOC task. Finally, go to Approval Policies to enable the approver feature for a given job-based task.
I highly recommend you first review the context sensitive online help in RME so that you fully understand the flow of maker (the job creator) and checker (the job approver).

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
If you use WS14000133 as an alternative, you can determine the list of approvers flexibly according to your particular requirements.
You do this using the method GET_REMAING_APPROVERS of BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI, with which you can integrate a logic for determining the approvers for each approval step (this can be more than one) and the number of steps in the entire approval process.
For more details, see the IMG:

Hi Gurus,
We have currently upgraded EBP 4.0 version from SP5 to SP11.
When clicking on the Add Approver button, getting pop up "No Possible Processor Found for approval task. Inform system admin" and not fetching any list of agents.
When clicking on the Add Reviewer, it is not bringing any pop up or other error/warning screen.
Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
This BADI deactivation started throwing other error message class BBP_WFL and no 038.
This problem has been resolved by changing the include LBBP_PDH_WFLF02 and function module BBP_PDH_WFL_APP_ASSIGNTYPE_GET.
Thanks everybody for your suggestions.

Approval List

Hi
I have a problem with an approval list in PO (requisition). I cant figure out why one person in the hierarchy is not allowed to approve the requisition. When he presses approve the approval mail goes one step up in the hierarchy (and that is to the CIO). As far as I know he has the right conditions set.
Is there a sql statement that you can run to see the result? What WF function is used?
Where is the timeout set for approval set? What happens if one approver does not answer within time?
/Karin

Check the workflow monitor to see where it is stuck and run some diagnostic tests for approval authority. You should be able to search for the script on metalink
