Internet Expense - AP Approval Process

Hello there,
I need a bit info on the AP Approval Process. (version 12.1.1)
I have read in the Internet Expense Admin Guide, there is a way for AP to approved and modify the expense report through Internet Expense. How it is done? And how do I know user that have this capabilities (which roles to assign in order for the user to approved or modify the expense report).
Thank you.

Couple of ways.
1. In the template setup the expense type to have either receipt required for all above $0 / justification required.
2. You could also create an audit rule applicable to all expense reports, criteria could be for all expenses over $1 audit rule applies.
If any of above is setup - requires payable approval.
Use Internet Expenses Auditor responsibility to approve all that are pending require "Payables Approval"

  • Urgent!! How to grab approval date and name for Internet Expenses

    Hi,
    I am doing reporting on Internet Expenses transaction however facing the below issue:
    Not sure which table to grab the Internet Expenses
    1) Approval date by manager
    2) Approval name
    Appreciate if anyone can advise on this.
    Cheers,
    SC

    Gian,
    You say you have a collection set with four series. Do you mean a collection set that contains four collections?
    If not, you can arrange things that way. Create four collections (ordinary collections, not smart ones) and fill them with your four series. Then within each collection, in Grid View, drag the images into the order in which you want to display them. You need to drag by the image inside the thumbnail, not by the border. And you're done.
    You can page through the images with the right arrow key.

  • Oracle Internet Expenses getting self approved

    All,
    We have implemented Internet expense in our instance but after a major patching , all the Expense Reports are getting self approved.
    Is there any setting or profile option that should be set so that it uses AME for approval.
    I have checked the AME Installed Flag profile option and that seems to be correct.
    Thanks,

    Please see if (What approval methods are available for use with Internet Expenses? [ID 1228281.1]) helps.

  • Internet Expenses Approver

    Hi,
    I have quenstions regarding the Internet Expenses approver lov.
    1) How to restrict the Approver LOV by grade?
    2) Where is the location of OIEAPPROVERLOV.xml in unix dir?
    Appreciate if anyone can advise on this.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Consider using AME for dynamic approvals. You can set up a rule based on grade.

  • Internet expense report migrate with Project budgetary control

    Dear All ,
          Does anyone use Oracle internet expense and enable Oracle Project budgetary control  ?
          Casue Oracle Project standard function budgetary controls are not enforced for project-related expense reports
    entered in Payables , the expense report amout is not calculated as deduction of project available fund.
          for example : create one expense report $100 , complete manger approval and export to Payables .  Project budget $150.
          For out client  , the project  available fund should $50 . however , when I create one Procecument $80  and process fund checking . It will  be passed . because system considers the available fund is $150 ( not deduct expense report entry )  . Does anyone have workaround or customization solution ?
    regards,

    Hi Jennifer,
    Are you using AME for Internet Expense Approval or Supervisory hierarchy.
    If using supervisory hierarchy than Signing limits of approving user must be define.

  • Approver Details Not Visible After Changing the Approval Process

    Hi Gurus,
    This expense report belongs to an open approval task when an approval process has ended its validity date.
    After a new approval process is activated, all pending approval tasks experience the issue of approver details not showing.
    In order to reproduce following steps need to be done :
    1. Deactivate the current approval process and activate the new approval process.
    2. When the status of the recently deactivated approval process is "Ended With Open Tasks", go to the "Show Open Approval Tasks" to
    see the open approval tasks.
    3 Check the Cost Assignment area for expense report which is in the open approval tasks.
    3. Approver Details are available.
    4. The approver sees the expense report on his/her approval list.
    Once the approver approves, it doesn't go out of his/her approval list and the expense report is still pending for approval.
    To determine if the expense report has no other pending approval from anyone else, there should be the approver
    details but the issue is it doesn't show up.
    The expense report is also stuck on the approver's approval list even after approving.
    Workaround provided to the Customer:   Recall the ER and submit again for approval.
    But as per customer there should be a background job to refresh the expense report to reflect the approval details.
    And issue should not occur as explained on the point 4.
    Kindly suggest if anything is possible to improve the system behavior.
    Regards,
    Rahul Mishra

    Hi Rahul,
    Although we have a workaround, I believe a permanent solution has to be implemented.
    In cases when an expense report has more than one approver (for example there are 4 approvers) and the 3 approvers had already approved, I think it will not be good to recall the expense report and resubmit because the traveler will have to seek for approval again from all the approvers.

    Hi,
    thank you for the reply.
    Customer doesn't have the have intercompany data in OIE but they want to know why this is not showing, since they think if there is this problem other steps can be affected as well (required steps not showing) and the tool will not be trusted. I am trying to understand why this step is not showing, maybe it is a bug, or something.

  • Problem setting up Tax for R12 Internet Expenses

    I am using Oracle R12 and am in the process on configuring Internet Expenses and have come across an issue with the tax set up. My issue is that I have created new tax rates in the Tax Manager responsibility for internet expenses (i have enabled the Internet Expenses check box when defining this new rate) and have assigned these rates to items in the Expense Templates. I have also enabled the profile option OIE: Enable Tax profile however when I create an expense report and it is imported into Payables the expense report does not populate with the tax code that I configured in the expense template. The tax code that is being populated is the default defined against the country code which is incorrect. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the expense report to import with the correct tax code that is populated against the item in the expense template? Thanks

    Log into tax manager
    navigation: default and controls --->application tax options , in the application name, select internet expenses
    this where you tell the system to pick up tax from, depending on your set up, the tax gets defaulted
    so you need to define the hierarchy and if you want tax to default from you expense template you need to stipulate that in the set up

  • Setup R12 AME Rules for Internet Expenses

    Hi,
    Currently we are in R12 and are using workflow for approval routing of Internet Expense. As requirement change, we would like to change to use AME rule. Thus, I have carried out a simple test by setting up the following:
    1. Profile Option: AME: Installed
    Set to 'Yes' for Payables module
    2. Create condition
    EXPENSE_TYPE in (Stationery)
    3. Create Action Types
    post-chain-of-authority approvals
    Require post-approval from AP_EXP_APPROVAL
    4. Approver Groups
    Dynamic
    select 'person_id:'||35925 from dual
    5. Create Rules
    If EXPENSE_TYPE in (Stationery) then Require post-approval from MASAP_EXP_APPROVAL
    However, during testing, the expense report is approved automatically without routing to the approval according to AME rules
    Appreciate any hints on this issue or advise on the steps to setup AME rules for Internet Expense.
    Regards,
    SC

    Hi,
    Thank you for the link. I have read the guide.
    What I was hoping for was an example of how it was used, and if anyone has managed to configure, without customizing the workflow, anything similar to what I need to do.
    Any other information would be useful.
    Thanks

  • AME: Reject Invalid Internet Expenses

    Hi,
    If possible, I would like to create a rule in AME that rejects all iExpenses that contain invalid project codes. We currently have cross-validation rules (in GL) that will send the erroneous reports to the sysadmin, but we would like to reject the report at its creation without further action needed (like a sysadmin contacting the user). Ideally we want to create a rule in AME along the lines, "If a project number is listed on the internet expense and it is not a number from a pre-defined set of valid numbers, then the entire expense report is rejected automatically." Will this require writing an new action type or further customization? Plan B would be to set up a "dummy" supervisor for all projects that automatically rejects all expense reports that do not come from the pre-defined list of acceptable project codes. If neither of these are practical, other ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I've amended the attribute transaction_requestor_person_id to dynamically select which is the requestor depending on the expense report. Step 2 is to add the action type 'absolute_job_level' to the 'OIE Expense Reports. I've assigned an absolute job level of '1' to my boss' job. I then raised a web expense of $6500. Now i haven't set up any conditions so I'm expecting the expense report to go directly to my boss for approval. However it doesn't, it automatically self approves even though it notifies my boss.

  • Internet Expenses Auditor

    Once the 'Audit Complete' is checked in the Internet Expense Auditor, the expense report cannot be changed. The workflow shows 'Complete' Status. Is there any way to override the process after the Audit Complete is done? And the workflow will show different status?

    Can you please explain a bit more of how it will let override the system if I customize the workflow?

    I figured out a way to do this ....do all the custom related checks in the approval code rather than in conditions ...to keep it simple.

  • Internet Expense

    Hi,
    I have one implementing question about iExpense.
    Ex: A General Manager is the highest manager in a company and his
    expense report needn't get approval from anyone.
    I setup the highest manager with max signing limit but no
    supervisor. However, the expense report is processed to SystemAdm.
    when his expense report submitted.
    How to setup system if higtest manager's expense report can
    be sent to AP directly when he submits.
    Any response will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Athena

    Athena,
    The standard functionality of Expenses requires approval authority/ sign off for all expenses reports. So the standard solution is to create a loop at the top of the hierarchy, hence the general manager reports to the second in the hierarchy. This makes sense from a business control point of view; otherwise he/she could enter expense reports for any amount and get them approved.
    If this is not desirable you will have to amend the workflow. The easiest solution is to set-up the loop in the hierarchy as above and then amend the workflow function 'Level of Manager Involvement'. This could be change to 'bypass approval' when the expense report is for the general manager. I would suggest you hold the variable, i.e. position or employee name in the core apps either as a profile option or in a lookup set.
    Hope this helps,
    Tom
