From_User not populated for AP Invoice Approval Workflow

Hello,
We are using the AP Invoice Approval and Requisition Approval workflows. When a supervisor grants their worklist authority to a requestor of a requisition the requestor is not allowed to approve their Req. This appears to be the correct action.
However when the same circumstances arise with AP Invoice Approvals the requestor of the invoice is allowed to approve their own invoice through the worklist delagation of their manager (these requestors do not have workflow admin privs.). We have noticed that the "From_user" is null on the wf_notifications table for APINV message types but not for REQAPPR message types.
Does anyone have insight into this difference in functionality?
Thanks,
Dan

AP Invoice Approval workflow not starting

     I have a raised an AP invoice for approval. (APINV) But the approval status is still in “Initiated” status and we could see the Invoice records in “processed” status in AQ$wf_deferred table too. There is data in wf_deferred tables but no data in wf_items table.
     Also in the invoice approval history form, value for ACTION field against an approver is “FUTURE”. All the agent listeners are up and running. No duplicate event_subscriptions. I have used apache bounce and executed “workflow background process” too. Am I missing something?
     Your quick responses will be highly helpful.
Thanks,
Vicky

Invoice Approval not required for certain cost centres

Hi - Can anyone advise how to setup in R12 so that AP Invoices for certain Cost Centers do not require approval in Payables Invoice Approval, Approvals Management?
Thanks

In PTARQ --> Customizing --> ESS > Service Specific Settings > Working Time > Leave Request > Processing Processes > Specify Processing Processes for Types of Leave, for each combination of rule group, PS grouping and absence type where approval is not required, untick the "Requests have to be approved" flag.
I haven't tried this as we haven't had the need, but I assume it will work.

SAP Report of Invoice Approver

Our company has recently implemented SAP, and not many people are familiar with the system and how to run reports. I would like to run a report that consists of the following fields:
Invoice Number
Invoice Date
Invoice Amount
Vendor Number
Vendor Name
Invoice Approver (ID)
Invoice Approver (Name)
Approval Date
Can anyone help determine which SAP transaction code I can use? Or can someone give me a tip on how to obtain such a report from SAP?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Check for transaction MIRO. Also you need to create a report program getting fields from different tables such as BS
BSAD BSAK BSAS.
Hope it helps!

Payable Invoices Approval

Hi
I need to customize the payable invoices approval method for the legacy data (data migration)
Approach
Get the API which the Workflow is using to approve the Invoices... and customize it... create a concurrent program and submit the concurrent program...
after the data migration is completed enable the workflow...
Can you pls let me know the API name which does the approval opeartion..
I do not want to customize the workflow as it is a one time job...
If there is any changes which can be done in the interface table pls let me know.. if i can do a manual update on to the tables, if possible pls let me know the tables for same.
Regards
Yram

Hi,
We have done an extension on the approval workflow here.
Basically, if you set the WF_APPROVAL_STATUS status of the invoice and corresponding invoice line to ‘WFAPPROVED’ then the invoice is approved.

R11:RECEIVED ERROR MESSAGES FOR AP INVOICE APPROVAL IN ORACLE WORKFLOW

Hi All,
We have this error:
### Detailed Problem Statement ###
Received the following error messages in sysadmin notifications:
Event Error Name: 100
Event Error Message: ORA-01403: no data found
Event Error Stack: HZ_DQM_SYNC>REALTIME_SYNCH(oracle.apps.ar.hz.DQM.realtimesync,
30665979B704AE043C0A81404B04A)
Event Error Name: WFE_DISPATCH_RULE_ERR
Event Error Message: [WFE_DISPATCH_RULE_ERR] ENAME=oracle.apps.ap.payment EKEY=10001
RULE=ap_payment_event_wf_pfg.rule_function SQLCODE=100 SQLERRM=ORA-01403: no
data found
Event Error Stack: WF_Event.dispatch_internal()
In addition, during the set-up of Oracle Approvals Management, there was no available list of
values in the Notification Style in the workflow configurator page.
Action Plan
=======
1) Confirm if the workflow is customized in any way.
2) Confirm whether you are able to select global preferences for the other invoices approval, meaning are you
getting the list of values for the other invoices.
There are no workflow customizations. We are trying to implement it to AP invoice
approval only.
Can you instruct me on how to test this one? I thought I could only select the global preferences from the workflow configuration window. And there are no distinction as to which invoice approval
process it is applicable. Where could I select the global preferences for other
invoices approval?
Thanks a lot

thanks hussein , but still we can not see LOV values even if we inserted data manually...:(
But it has improved and we moved on to another error which is:
*****received the error message:3120: Activity 'APINV/52822' has no performer
### Problem description or inquiry details ###
Received the following error message:
Error Message
3120: Activity 'APINV/52822' has no performer.
Error Stack
Wf_Engine_Util.Notification_Send(APINV, 115191_1, 52822, APINV:APINV_MRA) Wf_Engine_Util.Notification(APINV, 115191_1, 52822, RUN)
Encountered the following:
No list of values in the notification style field in the global configuration region in the Workflow Configuration Page
Please note that we could not update the workflow configuration page using the forms because there
is no list of values to select in the above-mentioned field. We just recently
changed the workflow administrator role from SYSADMIN to KCAALIM to reduce
changing of user log-in. We have previously used the sysadmin user log-in to
access the workflow configuration page. there was still no list of values for
the notification style. we changed the wf admin role to kcaalim using the sql:
udpate wf_resources set text = 'KCAALIM' where name like 'WF_ADMIN_ROLE';
Commit;
Hence, changing of wf admin role and user log-in (to sysadmin) won't help (just in case you would advise me to do so) since we tried it
already.
### Responsibility and navigational paths to reproduce ###
1. set-up the AME for ap invoice approval.
2. test an actual transaction.
3. when the list is generated, set-up workflow for AP approval.
when setting up the configuration page, there is no list of values available for the notification style. hence the workflow
configuration could not be updated.
4. Run the required programs (i.e., synchronizations)
5. run the approval workflow from the developer studio page.
6. review the status from the Status Monitor page.
7. The error message appears
8. payables, create a sample invoice.
9. validate and initiate approval.
10. review the approval history to find out the required approver. (the approver's name appears with 0 amount of approval)
11. check the notifications in the required approver's worklist.
12. there are no notifications sent.
Text continued in next action...

Payables Invoice Approval AME Setups

We have a requirement where, If Invoice_amount >= 0, the approval should go to a person (employee) who approves all invoices except those that he creates. Only the invoices that he creates should go to his supervisor. And this person who approves all the invoices except his is not necessarily the supervisor of all people entering invoices, So using HR hierarchy might not be the solution here right? How can i implement such Rule using AME? I mean how do i get the approvers list here? I am pretty new to AME..Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance!
Munna

Hi Munna,
Create 2 Rules and 2 Approver groups and 1 Condition
Create a condition using "TRANSACTION_REQUESTOR_PERSON_ID" Attribute. While creating this condition, you can select the employee name (person who approves all invoices). Condition is TRANSACTION_REQUESTOR_PERSON_ID = <<<Employee name>>>
Creating 2 Approver Groups
1. Create an Approver Group and include only one person name in that. This person is the employee who will approve all the Invoice except the one created by him.
2. The second Approver Group should contain the Supervisor of the above mentioned employee.
Creating 2 Rule
1. Create the First rule will not contain any condition. Add the First Approver group in Action type Section in Rules window.
2. Create the Second rule with the condition which is created as mentioned above. Add the Second approver Group created in the Action Type section in Rules window.
I hope Invoice_amount >0 is not required because, the first rule will always apply to ALL the Invoices which does not satisfy the rule 2.

Oracle AME AP Invoice approval

Hi,
Can some one tell me if in AME with patch B installed.
1) Can i configure AME Invoice approval at the Org level or responsibility level rather than at the application level. I ask this question because we are a multi org single SOB environment and we are trying to implement AME for only one of the org's. If i Setup AME profile AME:Installed = Yes at the application level will all users from my other org also be affected?
2) How do i force PO matched invoices to go through Approval? it seems like the implementation guide says all PO matched invoices automatically goes to Not-required. However, we require PO matched invoices to go through approval. I have followed steps in note 337714.1 but it doesnt seem to work, my PO's still get marked as not required.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Gayathri

Hi Gayathri,
1) Set AME profile AME:Installed = Yes at the application level : Payables. Set Use invoice approval workflow : Y at Payables Options window > Approval step for the related operating unit. Payables invoice approval will work for only those operating units that you set Yes at Payables options.
2) Note 337714.1 was written for R11. If you have the problem at R12 please review the note.
Seeded AME Production Rules Are Not Working (Doc ID 727140.1)
It says:
Cause
The seeded condition in the INVOICE HEADER MATCH CHECK is APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES = False.
This means in order for that condition to be met by any specific invoice and for the production
rule to apply to it, the system would need to be setup with the mandatory attribute Approve
Matched Invoices = False but this also defaults to true.
Hence, for the rule to be applicable, the condition needs to be APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES = True.
Once the seeded rule is setup with condition APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES = True this rule will then be applicable to all the invoices entered and hence the additional condition in that rule can be
evaluated. This will alllow the production rule to be applicable to PO matched invoices which will in effect bypass approval and allow the status to change to Not Required.
Solution
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1) Create a condition with APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES is True
2) Remove the existing condition APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES is False from the rule INVOICE HEADER MATCH CHECK
3) Add the new condition APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES is True to the rule INVOICE HEADER MATCH CHECK
4) Test on AME screens and ensure the rule is found applicable.
5) Retest with a new invoice, this time PO matched invoices should not require approval and should
change to Not Required.
Hope it works,
Zeynep

Invoice Approval History encounter errors while viewing in r12

hi all,
would like to seek your help, a certain approver of AP invoice encountered error in viewing his invoice approval history.
also, his worklist is not updated, new invoices is no longer reflected on this worklist...
this the error when he view the invoice approval history:
app-sqlap-10000: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: nuberic or value error: Bulk Bind: Truncated Bind occured in AP_WORKFLOW_PKG.Get_ALL_Approvers <-APKAWHS with parameters (&Parameters) while performing the following operation: set variables from workflow
this is the version of ERP r12:
RDBMS : 11.2.0.3.0
Oracle Applications : 12.1.3
hope your favorable response..

Hi,
I did not find any notes or bugs that address this specific error. I see that the AP_WORKFLOW_PKG.Get_ALL_Approvers procedure calls the AME_API2.getAllApprovers1.
I can certainly look at your versions and see if there are any existing code bugs that address this. You would need to provide the versions of those procedures by running the following:
select text from all_source
where name = 'AP_WORKFLOW_PKG'
and line = 2;
select text from all_source
where name= 'AME_API2'
and line = 2;
It might also help to get an FND Log or wfstatus.sql script output for review, but it might be best to log an SR to get this reviewed in more detail.

Cheryl

Invoice Approval WF

Hi All,
Needed you inputs / help on SRM One step Invoice approval WF.
We have configured one step approval WF for invoice and it is getting triggered also ( Triggering event for this Wf is BUS2205- Saved)
My doubt is, in Event trace I am not able to see the event Saved of object BUS2205.
I was wondering how event is not being shown in trace and workflow is working fine!
Any clues on this?
(I have checked there are no restrictions put in Event trace.)
Thanks in advance.

Invoice Approval Setup steps without AME

Hi,
Can some one help me with your directions on setting up AP Invoice approval process with out using AME
Appreciate in Advance
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
I dont think there are much setup steps involved if you are not using AME.
You need to check the Require invoice approval flag in the payables options to be checked.
There are 2 more checkbox - require validation before approval & Force approval - whereby the invoice should be validated before it can be approved and the force approval option specifies an user can force approve the invoice using the invoices action window.
and thereafter whatever invoice which gets created in system will be routed for approval.
Infact AME is used for specific and complex rules set up to be in place for invoice approval, if you dont have specific/complex rules than standard rules of invoice approval will be applied.
i.e. an invoice created by an user will be routed to his supervisor using the employee supervisor hierarchy and once approved by the supervisor the invoice status will change to approved.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Manish Jain.
