Using AME for Purchase Requisition Apporval transaction type

Hi ,
Product : EBS --11.5.10.2 AME B rollup 2 .
We wanted to introduce approvers based on requisition line total and a dff value on requisition line.
For that we created a line level attribute to calculate the requisition line amount Then created a test condition saying if req line total is > 1500 Introduce and approval group.
When creating a rule It says create a rule at header level So went into Approvals Management Administrator resp and changed the Configuration Variables allowAllItemClassRuleswhether AME allows to create subordinate item class rules-- Yes at transaction type Purchase requisition Approval . This allowed be to create the rule for the line level Tested real transaction on test workbench --This works fine
When tested this using the actual requisition --It gives and error "You do not have the authority to approve this requisition and an Approval List was not created automatically. Please contact your system administrator."
Error message in the log shows :
EXCEPTION:[icx.por.approval.server.ApprovalListAMImpl]:Fatal OAException:java.sql.SQLException: ORA-20001: The input ame_util.approverRecord2 does not belong to the header item class, as ame_api requires.
ORA-06512: at "APPS.POR_AME_APPROVAL_LIST", line 485
ORA-06512: at line 1
Is it the correct way to define rules ?
Is it possible to create a Header level attribute to calculate the line total or check for req total and add an approver looking at the line level req totals ?
Please suggest if any body implemented Line level approval for requisition using AME ?
If this is not the correct forum please inform which forum should i post the thread.

Chandra

AME for Purchase Requisitions

Hello All
I am in the process of setting up AME in R12.1.2 for purchase requisitions and got struck with an issue
My requirement is to route the requisition to a particular job based on the item category and the requisition total. I setup conditions, action types and approval groups and then the rule.
When I used static in my Approval Group setup it works fine with out issues however we do not want to use static as employees keep changing and want my approval driven out of the job hence updated the approval group to use Dynamic usage type and used the below query to pick the name of the employee based on the job.
select papf.full_name from per_all_assignments_f paaf, per_all_people_f papf, per_jobs pej where
paaf.person_id = papf.person_id
and sysdate between paaf.effective_start_date and paaf.effective_end_date
and paaf.job_id = pej.job_id
and pej.name like 'IT.Group IT Operations Manager.Staff'
Now when trying to create a requisition it shows up a message that "Approval List could not be generated. Please contact your System Administrator to review AME rules setup."
When validated the above query it says query is valid but still not working. I even tried with person_id but still no luck
Thanks a ton in advance

Custom AWE Line Level Approval Issues

Has anyone had success creating custom AWE Line Level Approval? I’m having trouble trying to get the method for line approval to fire. I have header level working so I decided to dig deeper. I added the line keys to the Xref table, Updated the Registry, Configured the Events, and created a new Process Definition using line level (very simple “Always True”). I have seen OnProcessLaunch fire so my routing has begun. The graphics look good. But when my approver goes in and hits the Approve button, it saves and nothing happens to the approval. Tracing it shows that no methods are firing. How does the system know to fire the line level method vs the header level method? Any ideas are appreciated.

Line 14: radioChange resolved - I had named my radio button
the same as the id of the field I was trying to update.
because you can't see the generated source it did not jump
out at me. then I backed some code out and my radio button lit up.
for a second I could not figure out for the life of me why
it would do that. then I remembered that in IE it will also use the
name in the getElementByID.

Budget Approver for Purchase Requisition

Hi,
In MM setup for purchase requisition, 4 levels has been setup for approving based on amount. The person who will approve is configured to be determined based on user exit (value - 9) in TCode OMGQ.
My question here is where is this user exit and how can we know to whom this PR will actually reach for approval.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Binay Agarwal

That you have to check in the Workflow settings based on the organization defined in PPOME
User exit M06B0001
you ca check the logic of user exit in SMOD
enter the above user eixt and display the component logic

Report - who is the current approver for purchase requisition

Hi Experts
Is there a report that can give information the status / who is the current approver for purchase requisition?
currently if we open the PR directly, we can only know the release strategy, release code, status of approver, but we cannot have the information who is the person that should approve this PR.
Thanks in advance
Prashanth.v

Hi All.
Unfortunately we want to have this information for our end user, and they will not have the access to SE16.
Another thinks is from CDHDR we will have the information if changes are made in PR. So it will give information user that already approve the PR
What we want to have is a report of outstanding PR (not yet released) that have information who is the user (the user complete name / user id) that should approve the PR.
Thanks In Advance

Is it possible to define a seperate number range for purchase requisitions

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to define a seperate number range for purchase requisitions that come from Forecast vs normal MRP requisitions so that our purchasing department can identify the origin of the document?
Thanks
for the thoughts
Sreeni

You'd need to figure out manually how forecast PR's are different from MRP PR's (the field from PR tables ) and then in the user exit I mentioned the program looks at the table T161 and field NUMKI, and if the PR getting created is from forecast change that NUMKI in the program to a different one else keep it as it is. If you're know abap programming it won't take long to figure out the logic else work with your developer to implement it.

NO Approved found for Purchase Requisition

HI,
we have a case, employee belongs to company B and raising the PR for company A. when he / she was initiating the PR. it says "NO Approved found for Purchase Requisition". we are following the Position Hierarchy. we have only one hierarhy for the two companies Can only please let me know how to sort the issue.
regards

Hi,
Are you using positional Hierarchy for approval for your Purchasing? Please check what is the final approver's approval limit/Position
and how much he can approve ?
You will get "No approver found" when system failed to find a approver based on the amount/position in your PR/PO.
Moreover, Please review the following MOS doc.
How To Diagnose Deferred Purchase Order And Requisition Workflows? [ID 884391.1]

AME Line Level Approval -- Oracle Quality

Hi All,
In Oracle Quality module I have create one parent plan and a child plan is associated with it. After multiple lines are entered in the child plan (Approver details is stored as one of the collection result in this plan) and later when the parent plan is saved, line level AME approval based on the approvers in the child plan should initiated. The final e-signature status should be at the header level, such that once all the lines have been approved i.e. parallely approved, the header record status should change to "APPROVED".
I had tried the header level approval approach, but in this case the approval flow for approvers could be done, but the only issue is that it was done serially.
Is there a way to achieve this in AME? Kindly help.
Thanks.

Apologies for the late response, have only just spotted the question.
You will need to register "line-item job-level chains of approval" under payables transaction type before you can select it from the picklist:
Setup\Action Types\"Use Existing Action Type" button, then select action type and continue.
Hope this helps (if you haven't already resolved yourself)

Line level approval for Vouchers ?

Hello,
Can someone tell me whether it is possible to have vouchers approved by Line. Meaning different approvers for different voucher lines?
If yes, where can I find how to do it?
I tried adding the Line Level in the Transaction registery for the process ID VoucherApproval and I could select 'Line' in in my approval process setup but I always get the message 'No approval required'...
Regards,
Stijn

Hi Mano,
if you use approval. It will be approved by steps. Next step will not be started until previous completely done. In your case 1st Item should wait until all other items processed.

Hi Everyone,
The problem is solved now. The cause was that the test requisition that I was making was satisfying more than one rules and hence I end dated the remaining rules which solved the problem.

Workflow email for Purchase Requisition Approval

We have a requirement of sending email to the approvers for approving purchase requisition. Alongwith the email sent out to the approvers (to their Outlook/ Lotus Notes Inbox), we will also like to show the content of the line items of the purchase requisiton. i understand this can be done since in the past at other implementations, I have seen that the email contains the link to goto SAP Ibox and it also shows the content of the requistions.
Our issue is that we are not being able to pass on the content of the requistion line items to the approvers inbox. Is there a setting to activate this in workflow or somewhere that we are missing? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

hi
In the workflow, you need setup the agent assingment(i.e organizationlal roles)

Approver SAP ID for purchase requesition

Dear team,
I have approver workflow for Purchase Requesition, now I want to pull the history of PR from 2012 to 2015 current month. Here main requirement is the approver name who has approved the PR, but don't find any standard report or table where I can find this detail. Please guide me how I can pull this data from SAP.

Dear ME5A will not give us the apprver detail but in SCN i found help & did same. I got my result.
Thanks for your quick response.
(1) Browse table CDHDR (Change document header), specify:
Change doc. Object = BANF
Object value = PR number (remember to add first 2 zeros) i.e. 0010002620
Transaction = ME54N (release manually) and/or ME55 (collective release)
The result showing the user who has run transaction ME54N and/or ME55 for the PR, then user may be the approver of the PR. If multiple records found for a particular PR, it may be approve/reject several times. You may only extract the latest record.
(2) Because transaction ME54N can either approver or reject PR, it is necessary to further check table CDPOS (Change document items), specify:
Change doc. Object = BANF
Document number = <found in step (1)>
Table Name = EBAN (Purchase Requisition)
Field Name = FRGKZ (Release Indicator)
In the result, if field FRGKZ (Release Indicator) changed from Old value 'X' (blocked) to New value '2' (PO creation allowed), we know that the user found in step (1) is the PR approver.
