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.

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 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 email issue

Hi,
When user try to approve PO, it sends email notification to manager who has correct approval athority. Manager can see the approval notification email but notification doesn't have PO Line details section (section which has PO Line information). How to fix it?
Thanks
Vijay

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

IRecruitment Create Vacancy Approval Notifications

Hi,
I have a client that wishes me to modify the content of the Approval Notification/Message sent to the approver. Is this possible and how to you do it?
In the User Guide it mentions using Application Developer and changing the messages but it is very limited and does not allow me to change this particular message.
I have looked at the workflow 'HRSS' but it uses the generic approvals workflow but I can't see how it generates the message. It mentions in the User Guide to use XML and business events but again gives very little detail.
Can anyone provide more information on how to do this?
Cheers

I have edited one of the Rules created in Transaction Type: iRecruitment Vacancy Approval. Under the Actions Section, I have added the approver 2,3,4
Action Type Action
approval-group chain of authority Require approval from APPROVER 1
approval-group chain of authority Require approval from APPROVER 2
approval-group chain of authority Require approval from APPROVER 3
approval-group chain of authority Require approval from APPROVER 4
approval-group chain of authority Require approval from HEAD_OF_HR1
approval-group chain of authority Require approval from HEAD_OF_HR2
but due to this change the approval is going to be in the sequential direction, for example APPROVER 1, APPROVER 2,3,4 then HEAD OF HR1,2 instead we need who ever approve first then it goes to 2nd level and approved by one of the head of hr as I mentioned above. Kindly tell me this action type I am using for this is correct or should we need to create another action type or should we need to amend approver group SQL statement or any other way which we can acheive the desired goal. I am looking forward to listen you soon and thanks in advance for you support

Deleted PO Approval Notification Accidently, now cant approve Draft. (2007)

My Customer accidently deleted an approval notification. The PO displayes in the Document Drafts report, but when the user drills down into the draft to add it, they get a message: "An authorization for this document has allready been sent. Document can not be added unless this authorization process is completed."
I have two users who can approve this documet, with a required segnature of 1 user.
Any suggestions?
thanks

How? That was my question. How do you get an approval message back after your accidently deleted it.
The answer below helped. I wasnt awar the entering user could go into the Send portion of the Message / Alert overview window, and re-send the message.
Thank you for your response, and taking the time to help!
Sincere regards,
Mike

Customize PO Approval Notification OA page

Hi
I am trying to customize PO Approval Notification. I want to add more attributes to the &PO_LINE_DETAILS. how to do it. presently. I made change in the workflow but it doesnt reflect on the page.
Purchase Order Lines
Line Item Number Rev. Item Description UOM Quantity Unit Price Line Amount
Want to add Cost center, Promised date columns to this table.
Please let me know how to do it.
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.

PO attachments in PO approval notification

All, is it possible to display the PO attachments/ their information in the PO approval notification itself?
If so, please tell me where to start.
Thanks.

Hi,
If possible download standard POAPPRV (PO Approval) workflow.
Copy PO Approval Top Process to create
<YourCompany>PO Approval Top Process eg. xxPO Approval Top Process .
Inside the process you can similarly create new custom sub process and packages by copying standard packages and include your custom requirements.
This way you can keep standard code untouched. However in future you need to keep track of those changes for while Patch and Upgrades.
Thanks,

PO Approval Notification to multiple users

Dear All,
Currently in our setup PO approval notification is working fine.
I want to send the final approval notification to other audience who are not there in workflow hierarchy.
can anyone guide on this?
Regards
Deepali

I assume you want to send an FYI notification.
You can either customize the po workflow to add the fYI notification or you can write an alert that fires when a PO is approved.
Hope this helps,

Purchase Order Approval Notifications and Multiple Currencies

All,
If I have a user who creates a requisition in EUR and then submits the requisition for approval to someone who has a default currency of USD, the workflow notification will show the value of the requisition in both EUR and USD. This is because the ICX: Preferred Currency profile option has been set at the user level.
However, this does not work for purchase order approval notifications, just requisitions. This makes my management unhappy. Oracle Support indicates this is an enhancement request. However, I have a difficult time believing there is not something in the Oracle apps that allows this functionality in the PO Notification. We are on 11.5.10.2.
Many thanks,
Jeremy

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

QUICK HELP :iExpense Approval Notification Customization

Hello Everyone,
Need QUICK Responses. This is Urgent . Please help asap.
REQUIREMENT : I have a requirement wherein I have to add a field "Project Number" on the Top of iExpense Approval notification Page along with the fileds like Expense Cost Center, Purpose etc.
ANALYSIS SO FAR : I would need to add the new field in NtfDetailsAttr.xml region. This page has a right table which points to an attachment and entity map. Most Probably this right table displays the Expense related fields like Expense Cost Center, Purpose etc.
ISSUE : I am not able to figure out the underlying VOs for this. like how the fields like Expense Cost Center, Purpose etc are getting populated. If I can get that I might add my new field to the same region in similar way.
Thanks in Advance
Nidhi

Hi Nidhi,
Kindly check the workflow notification which might have access to an OA Framework Region which is used by the notification. Analyzing the Workflow .wft file would provide some clues on this.
As I understand, you have bumped into the standard notification page which shows up for all notifications.
