Parked Invoice approval process - AP Workflow

Hi all,
Can please some one answer the following questions.
1. Can please some one provide me any links or documentation that is specific to Parked document(amount release) workflow approval scenario
i.e when an invoice is > some specific amount then it should get parked and need to get approval for the posting of the document.
2. For this scenario , should we have to park the document , then workflow get's triggered or as the amount is greater than the limit,does the document get's parked automatically when you try to save it and tirggers the workflow automatically?
Any help is greately appreciated

Hi,
the link that IA gave you will give you full details.
To add to that, when you create the GL document, the document should be COMPLETE for posting and so there is a button "SAVE AS COMPLETED" and this will park the document as well and checks the completeness of the document. And you can set up the Rel. Amt > which you want the approval for releasing..which is the flag "Release Necessary".
And, there is a std wflow template WS00400032 for this which first checks the completeness of the document before proceeding with approval.
And, for documents below the threshold that you specify in the config. settings specified in the link IA gave you, i don't think there is any std. functionality that posts the document automatically after it is parked and complete.
you have to copy WS00400032 and customize, may be adding your own single step task to post the document in the background.
Same requirement that we developed is working fine.
Let us know if any more details are needed.
Hope this helps.

  • 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...

  • SAP - Invoice Approval Process

    Dear Experts,
    Please advice if anyone has any information on SAP Invoice Approval process  integrated with Livelink Imaging.
    Process:
    a)     All invoices are scanned in Livelink to capture the invoice image
    b)     Establish link btw SAP and Livelink i.e., In SAP some reference number will be keyed which should fetch the relevant scanned invoice doc and display.
    c)     User reviews and either accepts or rejects the scanned invoice
    d)     Once accepted an Invoice document is posted in SAP based on the inputs provided by the business
    e)     Later workflow is triggered for approval of invoice for payment.
    Looking forward to your valuable suggestions.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your note. But how to enable the work flow as mentioned by you.

  • Auto approval process in workflow

    Hi,
    We are implementing customized workflow with approval/rejection process
    There should be a auto approval process when agent does not complete task within 3 days.
    When the approval is done then we are sending emails and performing some actions.
    When the auto approval happnes after 3 days we do not want the workflow to terminate but it should end.
    Kindly suggest if it is possible.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rahul

    Rahul,
    You can use a 'modeled deadline' to set the original workitem to obsolete after (say) 3 days.
    There is a wizard available to help you with this (in ECC 6.0).
    Then, on the obsolete outcome branch, you can add a new (background) step that approves
    the item automatically. (This is assuming you have an 'approval' method available for the object).
    hope this helps

  • RFQ Approval Process through Workflow

    Dear experts,
    We are on planning phase of RFQ release approval through SAP Workflow. There is an issue I would like to hear from your valuable thoughts.
    When an RFQ is created, ME41, all individual bids are collected under a unique collective number. Once price maintain process is done through ME47 for all bidder, we would like to send all RFQu2019s, with necessary information, which are linked to a collective number in one e-mail even if there are tens of RFQu2019s linked a collective number, not one by one sending it as we do in PO workflow process.
    Is it possible to realize this case within SAP standard approval process? Because so far I noticed that once fundamental customizing is done after price maintaining step RFQu2019s are send individually, one by one, to approvers.
    Cheers

    Dear Melih,
    I suppose you want to get approved the best offer in the bid. The best practice is to have a strong rules based on predefined criteria which quotation to be choosen by Purchasing. Then PO/contract/scheduling agreement/PIR can be maintained.
    What we have done in our system is that the PO created goes for approval based on Chart of authority via Enterprise portal. A report, displaying the key figures from the RFQs in the bid, vendor evaluation scoring for each vendor, if available and some other data, is linked to the workflow item and displayed during approval process.
    Regards,
    Ognian

  • Invoice Approval process - re-approve invoice question

    Hi,
    I am trying to find out why and if possible the re-approval can be triggered for an approved invoice when: a invoice is already approved and a user modifies the distribution line amount or reserves a PO and rematches a PO that is doesn't get flagged for reapproval.
    I have noticed that the invoice needs re-validation but not re-approval.
    If you change the invoice amount at the header level that the invoice is reflagged for re-approval if it already has been approved.
    I would have thought the same process would occur if the distribution lines had been modified in any way.
    Thanks
    Catherine

    Hi Experts,
    I'm looking for a report showing me each Payment related to her proper PO's, and the remaining balance,

  • Invoice Approval Workflow Setup in EBS R12

    Is there an easy way to tie the invoice approval process into the approval groups and rules that are already set up for the PO or Requisition Approval Process (Purchasing Approval Hierarchy)?  I'd like to keep the maintenance all in one place rather than recreating all the rules in AME.
    EBS 12.1.3

    Hi,
    Since it is a standard WF one cannot modify it.
    If we modify the standard workflow theres a chance of our changes getting erased when a patch is applied to the instance.
    One can create completey create a custom workflow and make it perform all the tasks performed by seeded workflow.
    Thanks,

  • Invoice Approval workflow - forward functionality with AME

    Dear,
    We are on R12.0.6, setting up AME for invoice approval.
    Looking at the Invoice Approval process Approval lookup type I don't see 'forward' or 'approve and forward' lookup codes.
    Does it indicate that 'Forward' and 'Approve and Forward' functionality is not implemented for the Invoice Apporval workflow?
    The AME documentation on the other hand discusses forwardingBehaviors.
    If anybody went through this and can through any comments on the subject of the forward functionality in the invoice approval would be great!
    Thank you
    Anatoliy

    Pl post details of OS, database and EBS versions.
    In 11i, using AME is a requirement. I believe the same applies to R12 also.

  • Cross BG - AP Invoice Approval

    We were exploring the option of using AME to implement an invoice approval process. However, the way OF has been implemented in the organization, each country's users are in different Business Groups.
    However, the invoice approval would require different BG users to approve.
    Can somebody please let us know firstly whether this is possible as standard functionality? If not, then how big a customization are we looking at. Is there a workaround that could be used while trying to keep customization as minimal as possible?
    HR has been implemented as well in the Organization however cross-BG employer-supervisor relationship applicability check has not been enabled. Does this have any impact or benefit/use on the AP Invoice Approval process?
    The version is eBS 11.5.10.
    Any sort of input will be valuable. Thanks.
    Edited by: UTP on Oct 27, 2009 3:20 PM

    Just wondering to ask why you are having multiple BG defined,
    Was that part of business requirement?
    However i did consult one of my friend and he mentioned me the below mentioned thing:
    User 1 is in India BG and User 2 is in UK BG
    User 2 is created as an dummy emp in India BG and also as the supervisor for the User 1 in the person create and maintain record
    Now in the workflow you can create a rule to send an email to User 2 whenever invoice approval is initiated based on the email.
    This should send him an email and he would either accept/reject the same.
    You might need to test this as we are just guestimating . so have a good time.
    Thanks

  • 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.
