How to reject Requisition Approval notifications as a super user?

How can I reject Requisitions which have been sent for approval, as the approver doesn't have access to Oracle apps instance?
Where do I access the notification from?

Solution 1
If the highest approver is going on planned leave, please create a vacation rule with delete option. This ensures that the notifications are sent to the new user instead of the highest approver.
Solution 2
a. If the highest approver goes on unplanned leave and as notification, navigate to Management > Forward documents and sent the notification to some one with equal approval limit.
b. Please run the concurrent program " Work flow back ground process" as forwarded documents are always stuck as Deferred and the program has to be run to approve it.
Solution 3
a. If no one has the approval limit as the approver, the navigate to status monitor as Sys admin and find the notification.
b. Reassign to some one with less approval limit using delegate option
c. The new user gets the notification.
d. Please run the "Work flow back ground" process and the requisition will be approved

How to hide REASSIGN Button for PO Requisition Approval Notification only

Hello,
I have a requirement in which I have to HIDE the REASSIGN button from the PO Requisition Approval Notification page. I realized that this page(NotifDetailsPG.xml) is being used by Sourcing Module too for sending the Approval Notifications. So I cannot directly set the Rendered Property to False for this as this would hide the REASSIGN button in Sourcing Approval Notification too.
So, how do I hide the REASSIGN button from the Notification page only if the Page is being used as PO Requisition Approval Notification? Can I use SPEL command in this case? Can somebody help me with this issue?
Thanks
Sunny

Hi Srini,
Thanks for the Immediate Response, I reviwed the Maetalink Note which you suggested, it was stated as:
Starting from ATG_PG.H.Rollup 4, an enhancement has been made to the Notification Details screen.
When the user viewing the notification has been granted the Workflow Administrator privilege (through the WF_ADMIN_ROLE preference), then the Reassign button will always be visible, even when the message attribute #HIDE_REASSIGN is set to Y.
This allows Administrators to reassign any notification when necessary in exception cases.
But in my case, the user do not have the Workflow Administrator privilege. He was not assigned with any workflow Admin Resps. Is there anything I am missing to check the WF_ADMIN_ROLE preference for a particular user?

How to route PO Approval Notification to Requestor instead of PO Preparer?

Dear All,
For PR Approval notification, it is possible to modify the workflow slightly so that the approval notification will be sent to the Requester instead of the Preparer.
For PO Approval notification (PO Approved), is it possible to route the notification to the Requestor (PR Requestor) instead of the PO Preparer?
Thanks a lot!
Ken

Ken,
This may not work even if you pass the requester_user_name to this function. Requester name, as I see it, is specifically introduced for the temp labor functionality and not for the normal lines (like goods or expenses). Looks like that is the reason why this is not working when you have changed the workflow, as this attribute is set only if the line is Temp Labor along with others.
You may have to introduce new activity (at the beginnig) to set the value to your own attribute selecting the requestor name from the distributions for the entire PO and use it in the notification or the function suggested here.
Thanks

PO approval notification not received by user

Hi,
There are 2 POs pending for approval from user. The PO status shows 'In Process'. The user is not receiving any notifications for approving the POs. Can someone let me know the root cause and the resolution.
Regards,
Radhika.

Hi Radhika,
Try to check the navigaitons below.
1. Log in to the Purchasing responsibility
2. Navigate to Purchase Orders>Purchase Order Summary
3. Query the purchase order
4. Navigate under the toolbar to Tools>View Approval Through Workflow
5. Take note of the number next to PO Approval Top Process: PO Approval <
number> at the top of the page. This number is the Item Key.
6. Go back to the main Navigator
7. Navigate to Workflow User>Find Processes
8. Enter the <number> in the Item Key field
9. Click on Find
10. The following page will reflect a stop light in the Error field if the
workflow is in error.
11. Click on the Process Name: PO Approval Top Process
12. Click on View Diagram
13. Use the scroll bars and follow the green lines until it ends on a process
14. Double click on the last process the green line points to
15. Follow 14 and 15 until you come to a process outlined in red
16. Single click on the process outlined in red
17. Click on the Expedite button on the bottom of the page
18. Make sure Retry is checked <default>
19. Click OK
20. This will restart the workflow process
Thanks

Sales Order rejected or approval

Hi,
How to reject or approval process automatically when i am creating the sales order after entering the material and qty, and also this should not reflect in MRP requirement MD04.
regards
Ravi

Rejecting Items in a Sales Order
You can enter a reason for rejection for one or more items. These items are then not copied into the subsequent documents. If you reject an item in a sales document, the system automatically cancels any materials planning requirements (MRP) previously generated for the item.
You must be in the change mode for a sales document.
Procedure
You can either reject the whole sales document or individual items.
Reject all items:
1.If you want to reject all the items, choose Reject document in the change modus for the sales document.
The system automatically selects all the items and you can enter a reason for rejection in the following dialog box.
2.Enter the appropriate reason for rejection and choose Copy.
The system assigns the same reason for rejection to all the selected items.
Reject individual items:
1.If you only want to reject some of the items, select those items in the item overview screen and choose Edit >Fast change of... > Reason for rejection.
A dialog box appears in which you can enter the appropriate reason for rejection.
2.Enter the appropriate reason for rejection and choose Copy.
The system assigns the same reason for rejection to all the selected items.
Reject individual items with different reasons of rejection:
If you want to enter different reasons for rejection for the items, choose the Reason for rejection tab page from the overview screen when changing the sales document.
You can enter a different reason for rejection for each item in the Reason for rejection field.

User not receiving emails regarding approval notifications

Hi,
SRM system has been upgraded to 5.0.
User is not receiving emails regarding Approval notifications. However, the user is able to view the SCs pending for his approval in his approval list.
I checked the transmission of the emails, the approval notifications are sucessfuly sent and the email of the user is correctly maintained. I tried resending the emails, and the user didnt receive emails even then.
Could be please advice what could the error.
Thanks
Hemanth

Hello Hemanth Kumar,
If approval mail:
- is correctly generated,
- you can see it in SOST transaction,
- request status in SOST is OK,
this means SAPconnect is working fine, so your problem does not come from SAP.
You have to check your STMP gateaway and your mail server.

How do we incorpoarte 'Approval/Reject' notifictaion in BPEL?

Like in Oracle Workflows, how do I incorporate approval/reject notifications?
Using BPEL process, I am trying to send an email notification to the approver.
The email should have 2 buttons, 'Approve' and 'Reject'. Based on the approvers selection,
the BPEL process should choose the conditional flow.
Here my question is, how do I incorporate the email with these 2 buttons.
And how do I incorporate the conditional flow?
In Oracle workflow this can be easily achieved.
Please point me to the related documents/procedures.
Thanks,
Bala.

Hi Sandra,
For your code logic, I1129 with inactive X should be included to get the list of SC which are in awaiting approval or may be approved but without follow on doc.
But could you check if you get any message in RZ20 after the follow on doc is created and it becomes inactive ?
may be you can check the SAP note: 1499352 - SRM Transfer: Redesign, bug fixes
Best Regards,
Anil

How to modify message or subject in po approval notification

sir,
please tell how to modify message or subject in po approval notification process ,
new database item should get displayed in either message or subject
regards

Hi, you'd have to load the .emlx file for it into something like Text Wrangler, modify it & save it, I think the only way in Mail would be to Forward it to yourself with an edited Subject line.

How to reject a MM contract during approval ?

Hi,
I have setup approval strategy for MM contracts (outline agreements).
Via trx ME35K I can approve the contract, but I don't find a way to reject the contract ?
Is there a way to reject a contract like it is possible for PR and PO approval ?
Please don't answer that the solution is not to approve the contract :o)
Thanks for feedback.

Hi,
thanks for your answer, indeed you can cancel a contract approval but my question was about how to reject a contract without first approving it ?
Like in the PR/PO approval, you have two buttons: one to approve and one to reject a PO.
our users want to have the possibility to reject the contract in case the contract contains wrong information.

Approving Requisitions using Notifications screen

Hi,
We have two responsiibilities which have the notifications screen added to it (1x Purchasing responsibility, and 1x HR responsibility).
Using the Purchasing responsibility allows the requisition to be approved, using the notifications screen.
Using the HR responsibility causes the requisition to get stuck in the autocreate queue. This is also using the notifications screen.
My question is:
Is there a function/security or similar which needs to be added to to allow approval of requisitions?
Regards,
Gary

Hi Helios,
Thank you.
That note explains the Purchasing Setup/Approval Hierarchies.
This is setup using the position hierarchy for us, no issues with that.
Our issue is as follows:
Scenario 1
Requisitioner ABC123 raises a requisition, Approver XYZ123 approves the reuquisiton using Responsibility A - Requisition Autocreate completes.
Scenario 1
Requisitioner ABC123 raises a requisition, Approver XYZ123 approves the reuquisiton using Responsibility B - Requisition Autocreate fails.
This happens for EVERY requisiton approved under Responsibility B
The user/hierarchy isnt changing, but the responsibility is.
Any advice?
Many thanks,
Gary

Approve button of PO Approval Notification not functioning properly

Hello,
We are using PO approval workflow for our PO approval process.
The approve button of the email notification is not performing the intended action, that is approving the PO.
Since the approve is not functioning,we had to approve it from oracle.Is there any reason for this?
Kindly let me know if there is some solution to handle such issues.This is a critical issue because not all the approvers can login
to oracle and approve this everytime.
Thanks in advance,

Modify PO approval notification

All,
I need to add some extra information to the PO approval notification.
I have downloaded the PO Approval item but I am not sure which
process/ message I should change.
Can you please tell me how to find out what needs to be changed or
where I should make changes in the workflow?
Thanks.

I have identified the message as "PO Approve".
I have added a new attribute called "Requisition Number" to "PO Approval Process" and used it
in "Approve PO" message. I have also modified the procedure PO_POAPPROVAL_INIT1.SetPOHdrAttributes
to retrieve the requisition number of a PO and setting the attribute of "Requisition Number" with it.
Then, in the Approve PO message body I have added "Requisition Number: &REQUISITION_NUMBER" in workflow
builder and saved it in to the target database.
But, the approval workflow notification message is not picking my requisition number.
I am not sure how to actually modify the message of the notification to use the
newly added Requisition number attribute in it.
Can any please give me some direction here?
Thanks.

Add PO additional attachments links to approval Notification

Hello,
I have a requirement: when a PO approval notification is sent, I need to add another section in Notification to list URL Links of all po attachmnets. I am not talking about sending attachments in the email. My requirement is on notification itself which is viewed from worklist. When the user clicks on the attachment link, the corresponding PO attachment should open up.
I am not sure how to achieve this, the POAPPRV is customized and we are adding customized header and lines in approval notification. But I am not sure how to add a URL link. Please help.
-ARN

As far as I know, you don't need OFA extension.
Can you open the workflow in Workflow Developer and verify that the requisition details are populated using the PO_WF_REQ_NOTIFICATION?
Depending on your version, Oracle may be using a different package. Find that package and make some simple change to verify.
Hope this helps
