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

  • 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

    Hi,
    Your question : Is this option available in 11i also or in R12 only ?
    Ans : Yes available in both 11i and R12..
    Q: Do we need to do anything with the PO Approval Workflow to get this notification ?
    Ans : Hope you have done appropriate setup in Document Type (Purchasing>Setup>Purchasing>Document Types)..
    PO WF is basically derived from the Document type. In the Document type attribute e.g. say Purchase Order Standard Approval Workflow is normally set as : PO Approval and Workflow Startup Process as : PO Approval Top Process..
    we believe below are the prerequisite for WF to send mail for approval...
    - Make sure notification mailer is up and running
    - WF background process is scheduled

  • How to route the information to approver with out involving sap workflows.

    Hi Developers,
    i have a doubt regarding how the requester filled form information will be send to approver with out involving SAP workflows in the portal.
    Normally i know the procedure where users fills the form with the approver details, the filled information is routed to approver UWL by trigerring a function module thru webdynpro.
    But i need to know is there any procedure to route the information without involving any backends.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Michele is correct - sneep will help you get the serial from the running domain on the M3000 ,
    and it is a good idea to install STB on your machines.
    If that isn't possible for you, then sneep can be downloaded directly from [http://www.sun.com/sneep]
    I believe that on this platform, sneep gets the serial from the output of prtconf.
    There is a minor correction to be made :
    After installed SNEEP use "man sneep" for all technical details.The sneep man page is not linked into the shared man pages, so you need to use
    man -M /opt/SUNWsneep/man sneep
    with out going to OK prompt (Banner)It is worth noting that the serial shown in the OBP banner is not the product serial
    that you will find on the physical serial tag.
    The banner "serial" is the decimal equivalent of the host ID, which you normally get in hexadecimal from the "hostid" command.

  • 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

    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?

  • Urgent - An invoice which has been paid, route for approval again

    Hi All,
    Below is the what I am stuggling to sort.
    Scenario - The invoice 6200382/1 was processed on 6 March 2009. It was approved on 23 March 2009 by Mr. DAVE F VENTURA and Mr. BENOIT M VERHAEGHE. The invoice was paid on 27 March 2009.It appears that the invoice has now again routed for approval, and was rejected on 17 April by Mr. DAVE F VENTURA. The rejection notification (attached) which Norma received, indicates that the invoice was rejected on 15 April 2009. How can an invoice which has been paid, route for approval again, and why is there a difference in the rejected dates as indicated on the approval history and the notification?
    This has happened for the second time. I am unable to give a solution to this problem. Need help urgently.

    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.

    Find the PO OAF embedded region in the notification. Then you need to personalize that region and add your required columns assuming the attached VO has those values. Otherwise you might have to do VO substitution also.

    Hi,
    To confirm that the patches are resp, can you check the file modified dates POXVCOMS.pls and POXVCOMB.pls? (To know the path on the box run diagnostic apps check for PO module and look for these file names).
    If they match with the patch application dates, then you might have to open a SR and get the fix from Oracle

  • How to send a delayed notification email?

    How to send a delayed notification email?
    I have a requirement to send an email to the service requestor 2 days after the main fulfillment task is completed.  I know I can create a task that auto-completes using the Dummy adapter, but is there a way to make it auto complete after a certain amount of time has elapsed?  I was thinking about creating a second fulfillment task that would send this email upon completion, but I can't figure out how to delay its start or its end. 

    Hi Tylor,
    James is onto a potential approach here. However, the only way I know of that could work is to use the Scheduled Start feature. This would require that you compute/project the start date of the auto-complete task before the delivery moment begins.
    You would need to do a date calculation and then store the projected date in a hidden field. You could then have your auto-complete task fire on that computed date, using the Scheduled Start feature.
    The wrinkle here, of course, is t

  • How to make manager approve more than one request in one time in SSHR

    Dear All,
    Anyone has an idea on how to make manager approver more than one request in one time in SSHR??
    for example, manager is having 20 requests to approve on Change Pay Function, he don't want to check one by one and approve it, he want to approve the 20 requests directly from one time, is there any solution for that??
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Adel,
    As Vignesh has mentioned we don't have any standard functionality which will allow bulk approvals. We had same kind of requirement in performance management where the business was asking for a bulk approval feature which should be available to Skip level manager for approving the rating suggested by line manager. We had created a custom page which will list all the notifications and user can select the ones which S/He wants to bulk approve and click submit button. Internally we had called the workflow with item key and other required parameter and do the approval.
    You can have a work with your technical guy and can work on the same lines.
    Thanks,
