Modifying the notification mail sent by Invoice Approval Workflow - AP

Hi,
We have a requirement to modify the standard mail notification email body sent to the approver to approve the invoice.
When have check the message attribute in the workflow and it has a constant value.
JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ap/invoice/request/negotiation/webui/NotifPGRN&INVOICEID=-&INVOICE_ID-
We are unable to figure which region needs to be modified or which controller needs to be extended.
At also I want to know if the notification email body and the notification on the the user home screen are derived from the same source.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks,
MJ

Hi,
You need to modify the region NotifPGRN in specified in the path.
Go to Functional Administrator and give the path /oracle/apps/ap/invoice/request/negotiation/webui/NotifPGRN.
You will able to find the region.
Thanks,
Mamen.

    Workflow will start for any invoice that has a secondary approval hold applied and does not have a workflow already in progress..
    If all the lines of an invoice are approved then the secondary approval hold on the invoice is released by the workflow..
    So this is the processs..
    Minimum requirement for the workflow to run is
    Any Invoice with a secondary approval hold on it…….
    we are trying with this but I CAN see the record in wf_items and

    Hello Akkshaya,

  • Legal Entity wise AP invoice approval workflow

    HI All,
    I m in the process of configuring AP Invoice approval workflow for multiple legal entities. Can someone pls instruct me how to set up different workflows for different legal entities.
    My requirement is as follows:
    Legal Entity A
    If User Test 1 create AP Invoice then his invoice should go to approver1
    Legal Entity B
    If User Test 2 create AP Invoice then his invoice should go to approver2
    I have done the set up for one legal entity and its working fine. I have used action type as " approval-group chain of authority" and used Approver type as HR People and assigned relevant approver to it. My problem is how can i segregate legal entity wise approvers. Because now both legal entities invoices are directing to same approver.
    Thanks .

  • How to add a new field to the notification mail

    Hi All,
    We want to add the description of the GOA to the notification mail. Currently when an approval is required the following mail is sent:
    #CONTRACT.VERSIONTYPENAME# no.#CONTRACT.OBJECT_ID# was designated for release by employee#CONTRACT.CHANGEDBY#.
    You are responsible for checking this decision and then either approving or rejecting it.
    *To log on to the system, click the following link:
    So there is only the document number, document type and last changed by information in the notification mail. How can we add the description of the document?
    We have checked the related container and could not find the description of the document.
    Awaiting your reply

    Hello Emre,
    the mail is generated by report RSWUWFMLEC. You have to modify this report to change the mail text.
    An easier way might be to change the subject of the mail which is generated from the workflow task. You can enter the description of the GOA in the workitem text of you active workflow (WS14000088, task TS14007969?).

  • Workflow notifications in invoice approval workflow

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement in invoice approval workflow while it sends notifications.
    The current workflow is sending notifications to an approver when he has a record both in HR and FND and linked to each other.
    But the requirement is WF has to send notification to the approver who will have an employee record only.
    If anyone has worked on this requirement earlier please let us know how to achieve this.
    Thanks,
    MJ

    WF Notifications are based on roles, you have to modify the role selection portion to handle the case you mention. Likely this is oracle standard code so you might be careful and look for a workaround i.e. duplicate the activity and customize that one.

  • E-Mailed PO Notifications from the Notification Mailer rejected by Vendor

    Greetings All! We have an issue where some of our vendors have spam filters that are rejecting the E-Mailed POs coming from the PO approval WF process. We are currently on R12 and wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what was done to get around the issue. The notification mailer is sending the messages out but our internal Unix domain (where the EBS resides) is buried in the e-mail header and the Vendor's spam filter rejects the message as it believes the mail is spam.
    Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    EBS Version: 12.0.6
    DB Version: 10.2.0.4
    OS: Sun OS 5.10
    I've checked those notes and they do not apply. The Notification Mailer itself is working properly and is sending e-mails to the vendors. The problem is that the R12 Java SMTP program doesn't allow us the control we had with the concurrent program in 11i. In 11i we could include Sendmail line commands in the wfmail.cfg file that allowed us to spoof the "From" address so that it appeared the mail came from our external corporate domain. In R12, we don't have access to that since the Java notiifcation mailer uses basic SMTP and the "From" parameter just changes the human-friendly name for the e-mail withoug changing the actual from address. As such the mail headers for the e-mails have our internal unix domain which isn;t valid outside of our firewall. We have done some work with a Unix alias that solves the problem for a couple of the vendors but there are still vendors rejecting our e-mails if they come from the Unix box.The bounce messagess provided to me by our network team clearly show that it is a spam filter rejection due to an invalid domain. I'm looking to see if any other companies have hot this problem and what they may have done to get around it.

  • Customizing AP Invoice Approval Workflow Notification Page

    Hi
    I am trying to customize the AP Invoice Approval Workflow APINVAPR on 12.0.6.
    The requirement is to show attachments to the invoice in the notifications screen which is an OA Framework based screen.
    In the Notification message, there was an existing attribute #ATTACHMENTS that was pointing to INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS attribute.
    I have added the code to set the attribute for the INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS in the package ap_workflow_pkg
    wf_engine.setitemattrtext(itemtype => itemtype,
    itemkey => itemkey,
    ANAME => 'INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS',
    avalue => 'plsqlblob:xx_ap_appr_wf_pkg.xx_notif_attach_procedure/' || to_char(l_doc_id)
    But the attachments are still not showing up.
    What else do I need to do to make the attachments show up.
    The notification shows up in a OA Framework page /oracle/apps/ap/invoice/request/negotiation/webui/NotifPGRN&INVOICEID=-&INVOICE_ID-

  • ARQ: No Notification mail sent for request forward???

    Hi,
    I have customized notification settings at manager stage in MSMP to send notification mail for request forwarding. However, the notification mail is not sent.
    I have learnt that there was some problem in earlier SPs and was supposed to be implement on BADI. However, I am @ SP#14 and expect that it should work.
    Can anybody advise me?
    Below are the settings at MSMS and Notification Messages:

    Thanks for your reply.
    I could find "Z_GRAC_MSMP_AR_FORWARD" in SE61 and maintained properly and activated. Also maintained this in second screen above. in MSMP also, I could see this document mapped. Please see the attachment.

  • How to send concurrent program output file as an attachment in the notification mail

    Hi All,
    We are on Oracle apps version - 11.5.10.2
    We have a requirement wherein we need to send the concurrent program output file as an attachment while sending the notification mail to the user.
    Currently we have tried the approach wherein we are specifying the user id in the OPTIONS tab (Notifying the following people) while submitting the concurrent program.
    But using this approach, the user gets only the URL of the output file in the notification mail and not the output file as an attachment.
    Kindly let us know if anyone has incorporated the logic to send the output file as attachment in the notification mail.
    Please Note - We do not want any custom code to be written to send the attachment.
    Any pointers to this will be helpful.

  • Unable to send emails on APPRV - AP Invoice Approval workflow. r12

    Hi,
    This is on r12.1.3. The Invoice approval workflow is not sending notification emails. We have tried all we could but email notifications are simply not going out.
    Steps executed.
    1. Make sure email addresses are valid
    2. Make sure all email preferences are set to receive emails
    3. WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT was cleared and rebuilt two times
    4. Ran WFSTAT.sql for complete diagnostics but shows nothing.
    5. Workflow log file shows nothing suspicious.Despite of all this we are not able to receive emails. We need to send notification emails when an Invoice in AP is in "Initiated Approval" state. The strange thing is that this issue is only with payable invoice approval workflow. All other workflows are receiving emails just fine.
    Please advise.

  • Duplicate E-mail sent through Human Task Workflow - random behaviour

    Hello All,
    We have Human Work Flow implemented for a process to wait for human intervention to approve a task.
    Whenever a new task is attempted, it goes for an email approval to a DL by sending notification.
    This should happen only once and after approval the BPEL Process should complete.
    All works fine, an email is sent and approved and process completes.
    Sometimes, the notification is sent again exactly after 24 hours, with the same content though there is no other BPEL  process triggering it.
    And on opening the Workflow List, there is nothing to approve as it has been already approved the previous day.
    Not sure why this happen. This is in Prod server and this thing happens randomly with no fixed pattern. Has been never reproduced in development box.
    No specific pattern is visible in MW logs to.
    Any help for this issue shall be helpful.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Oracle AP Invoice Approval Workflow

    WorkFlow Gurus,
    I create an AP invoice and add attachment to it and initiate approvals.
    The Invoice Requester's manager logs into Oracle and can see the Invoice Approval Notification (in Worklist) and can also see the attachment.
    But the same manager also receives an email for the same Invoice Approval but in email he can't see the attachment or any link to point to the attachment.
    Can you please suggest what can be done to see attachments in email for invoice approval workflow?
    Please help here!
    Thanks

    If you have some idea, can you point me to what exactly could be causing this issue. Is this the problem with emailing message preparation part or email sending part or something else that could be causing this. Sorry, I have no idea -- It might be reported in the bug.
    Another questions that comes to my mind, does attachment work with other workflows like iProcurement / PO / HR etc.....that is, is this a problem with just AP Invoice Approval or other oracle workflows have the same issue.
    One point brought out by one of fucn folks was, because invoice images could be of several pages that is why oracle don't want to send those in emails.Please log a SR for this.
    Thanks,
    Hussein
