PO and Requisition approvals

In R12, if we set the purchasing system to use position hierarchy after defining all the jobs and positions.
Is it advisable to change back to the employee/supervisor relationships setup later just by unchecking the option in the financial options for that OU? Also does it apply the same to the vice versa too? System doesn't get corrupted right?

1. Make sure that the approval rules and assignments are done accordingly. For position hierarchy the position is used as for the association; for employee supervisor job is used as key for the association.
2. For PR approval, the approver list is generated when the requisition is submitted (unless you are using AME for requisition approval). But for PO the next approver is determined on the last approver's response. So the In Process PO Approvals will realize this change immediately; but the In Process PR approvals may have a lag (because of pre determined approval list). Please test the PR approvals once.

Requisition Approvals AME errors on Approval List Rebuild When an Employee

We're using AME for requisition approvals which contains several dynamic approver groups.
The problem is that the approval list can be large and depending on how long it takes the requisition to be approved a person who has already approved the requisition might be terminated in Oracle. The approval list rebuilds after each subsequent approval and errors at the point where the termed person falls in the list.
How can we work around this? Is there a way to get AME to NOT rebuild the list once the approval is in process? Or is there a way to have it not look at stages of the approval list where approval has already happened?
Thanks,
Suzanne

Hi All,
We have found out the Problem for the above issue.
The PREPARER_ID in the PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL table is coming as -1 which should not be. The user is linked to HR User and in FND_USER table we can see the employee id.
Can someone suggest on this if we have miss something.

How to change category on open and closed PO and Requisition lines

We realized a little late that our category definition needs change. But when we change the category definitions (including structure) how do we change the existing PO lines and Requisition lines to have the new categories? We checked for any APIs, but there are none. What other option do we have?

changing the name of the home directory and the login name is not advisable. it can be done
http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshortusername.html
but a better way would be to make a new user account using system preferences->accounts. call it whatever you want. log into that and delete the old account. since you just got this computer you don't have any data on it yet, right?

Hope it helps.

Creating Planned orders and Requisitions for a particular MRP controller and for all the others only Requisition is to be created.

Hi Experts,
Currently we run Program 'RMMRP000' as a batch job to create Planned orders and requisitions.
The client wants that Planned orders and Requisitions should be created for a particular MRP controller and for all the others only Requisition is to be created.
I implemented Exit 'EXIT_SAPMM61X_001' in the following manner by passing MRP controller to user_key.
IF mt61d-dispo <> user_key.
no_planning = 'X'.
ENDIF.
But as you can see that this will not meet my client requirement.
If any of you has worked on similar requirement / if any one knows that this is achievable or not,
please share your inputs.

How to export and import "Computer Groups" and "Patch approvals" in WSUS 4.0 ?

Hi,
I have a query regarding the export and import options for "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" in WSUS 4.0.
In WSUS 3.2 once we install WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools, we get "WSUSMigrationExport" and "WSUSMigrationImport" tools under
C:\Program Files\Update Services 3.0 API Samples and Tools\WsusMigrate\ folder.
Using the 'WSUSMigrationExport' tool we can export the Computer Groups and the Patch Approvals in a XML file. And using the 'WSUSMigrationImport' tool we can import the 'Computer Groups' and the 'Patch Approvals' from that XML file into a different WSUS
3.2 server. We can run the import tool as below:
a. Run command prompt as administrator.
b. In the command prompt, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Update Services 3.0 API Samples ans Tools\ WsusMigrate\WsusMigrationImport
c. Type WsusMigrationImport filename.xml TargetGroups None. Press enter; this will import Computer Groups to the WSUS 3.2 server.
Type WsusMigrationImport filename.xml Approvals None. Press enter; this will import "Patch Approvals" to the WSUS 3.2 server.
This is easy and useful.
Now, for WSUS 4.0 I did not find "WSUS
4.0 API Samples and Tools". So I installed "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" in my WSUS 4.0 server. And tried to import a valid XML file in the above mentioned process. But the command returned an error.
The error says the "Microsoft.UpdateService.Administration.dll" file was not found.
I further searched in the internet about this issue and I found that the "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0 as the .net framework used in "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is 2.0 and WSUS 4.0 uses .net Framework
4.5.
So, Here are my questions.
1. Is it correct that "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0?
2. Is "WSUS 4.0 API Samples and Tools" available?
3. Is there any alternative way in WSUS 4.0 to export and import XML file consisting "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" configurations?
I need an urgent reply. Thank you in advance.

Hi Tapojyoti,
>>1. Is it correct that "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0?
Yes, WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools is not supported in Windows Server 2012R2 by default. We may try to rebuild it in Windows Server 2012R2. For detailed information about how the rebuiled, please refer to the readme document of the WSUS 3.0 API Samples
and Tools.
>>2. Is "WSUS 4.0 API Samples and Tools" available?
No, I can't find the WSUS API Samples and Tools for 2012R2.
>>3. Is there any alternative way in WSUS 4.0 to export and import XML file consisting "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" configurations?
As I have mentioned above, due to WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools is released with source code, we can try to rebuild it in the Windows Server 2012R2.
If it doesn't work, as a workaround, we can configure the new WSUS server as the replica server of the existing WSUS server. After the synchronization, change the server mode to stand alone.
Best Regards.

Reservation and requisition for material in MO from the equipment BOM only

Dear all,
i want to create material reservation and requisition from the equipment BOM only which is maintain against that equipment ( in the 'list' tab of component).and which material is not in that BOM, system should not allow to create material reservation and requisition of that material in maintenance order.

Shahanawaz,
You could try making the material and material text fields display-only via field selection.
Otherwise, try user-exit CNEX0026 (general inspection of material) via TCode SMOD.

E-Recruiting: Posting and Requisition relationship

Greetings,
My question has a couple layers to it. An internal audit dictates a review of job posting for a particular work location in a given time frame.
I have requisition (NB) IDs for that site.
First question: Is there a relationship between req (NB) and posting (NC)? I need to identify the posting for each req ID that I have but was unable to do so through table 1001. Is there a roundabout way to get to the NC object from NB?
Second question: Once I've identified posting (NC), how might I produce the text objects associated with each posting ID en masse. Table 5121 points to text objects, but I do not know of how to get to them. I would like to avoid having to go through the posting text individually through the front end. I've seen a couple posts regarding this topic, but I'm uncertain of the mechanics discussed. The posts I've seen are:

PO and Requisition Notifications

Using standard functionality in R12,
1. When purchasing buyer returns the requisition with a reason, can the requestor, req approver be notified via email about this? How?
2. Let say, the PO approver (someone from finance dept) rejects the PO due to lack of funds, the buyer will be notified via the workflow and he cancels the PO. What can the buyer do to notify this to the requestor and req approver(manager)? What happens to the requisition as the PO was already created in this case but cancelled?

1. If a req. is returned, Oracle sends a notification to the preparer. If you need to expand this to include requestor or approver, you will have to write an alert.
2. If a po gets rejected and was never approved, you can NOT cancel it. You have to delete it. (I am assuming that the "archive upon" option is set to approval)
When a buyer deletes a PO, the req. goes back to the autocreate pool.
When a buyer cancels a PO, he/she has a choice to cancel the underlying requisition. You will notice that there is a checkbox called "Cancel Requisition" on the Cancel PO window. If the box is unchecked, the requisition returns to the autocreate pool. If the box is checked, the requisition gets canceled. You may have to write an alert or modify the workflow to send a notification out if you want someone (e.g the approver) to be notified.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Purchase orders and requisitions - R12 user interfaces

Hi,
I see that the purchase order can be registered in the system by two different interfaces (I'm running R12.1.1): Using Oracle forms (Navigation path: Purchasing Super user: -> Purchase orders -> Purchase orders) and using Java html pages (Navigation path: Purchasing Super user: ->Buyer workspace ->Orders).
I have two questions:
1. The second option (using java pages) is not documented in the usersguide. Is it fully in production or they are still developing it? Why there are two different interfaces for the same purpose?
2. I see that from Java pages interface I can only see requisitions, but I cannot enter new ones (Navigation path: Purchasing Super user: ->Buyer workspace ->Requisitions). Should I enable somewhere this or the requisition is not developed using Java pages interface?
Thank you

How to create a new document type for PO and Requisition

Hi All
Can you please help me with the steps of creating a new document type for PO and PR. Also the steps that need to be update for the procure pay cycle to work properly.
Once the document type is been created. I want to create the PO referecing the new PR and PO document type.I am new in MM.
Thanks, Ros

Hi,
1. You can create new PR and PO docu types at the following path:
For PR docu type:
First you need to create number range for docu type or you can use existing number range also. The path for creation of no. range is
SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Number Ranges
Then create PR docu type at below path and assign no. range to PR docu type here only
SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Document Types
For PO docu type:
Follow same procedure as mentioned for PR docu type. Path is
SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Number Ranges
SPRO>Materials Management>Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Document Types
If you want to create PO referencing new PR docu type, link the PR docu type to PO docu type at below path:
SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Document Types--> Link purchase requisition - document type

No: of Approvers on PO and requisition

How can we find from backend no: of approvers that a PO or requisition have?
Thanks
SS

Not sure whether this is what you want, but you can check PO_ACTION_HISTORY and linked that table to PO_HEADERS_ALL.
It is similar like you click - View Action History in PO Forms.

WF - Purchase Order and Requisition

hi,
I'm work with 4.6c release 620. I set as active the trace of events workflow. But when i work with me21n, me51n and me54n my trace(swel) dont show nothing.
How can i work with workflows and objects?
Object: BUS2012, BUS2009..etc.
thanks,
Alexandre

Alexandre,
You need to maintain the customizing node MM-Purchasing-Purchase Requisition-Release Procedure.
The event creation function module checks the tables maintained via the above customization and will trigger the requisition events only if the field T16FC-FRGWF is set to 1 or 9.
Ask your functional contact to configure the release procedure to suit the above.
