Notification On SSHR

Question

Hi All:
How I can modify the notifications that is appearing on worklist region when perform any activity on LOA function like the absence for employee x is forwarded to employee y ????
Please Advice.

Answer 1

Are you looking to just whom the notifications are sent to, or change the text in the existing notifications?
If the former, you do that using the Approvals Management (AME) module which is a powerful rules-based approval engine.
If the latter (ie, you want to change the notification text), the answer is 'not very easily'. You'll have to customize the standard delivered HRSSA workflow. Within this workflow, all SSHR approvals use a generic Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_APPROVER_NTF) notification. The body of this notification is set to the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_NTF_EMBEDDED_REGION) attribute. This in turn defaults to:
JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=-&HR_EMBEDDED_REGION-&NtfId=-&#NID-
So essentially you can change the HR_APPROVER_NTF notification. The problem with changing this notification is that it's generic - it's used for all SSHR functions and not just the one you're interested in. That means you have to make other, more substantial, customizations to the workflow to ensure the changes you make only apply to the SSHR transactions you want.
The other option is to personalize the review page (ie, the region referenced in &HR_EMBEDDED_REGION) to include whatever messages you want. But that means they'll appear on the Review page and all related notifications and that might not be what you want.
It's often easier and less intrusive to live with what Oracle deliver and find an alternative solution!
