PO Approver and Approver Hierarchy

Hi,
Any body can give the solution to solve the following issues
1.how can we add PO Approver to particular user.
2.how can we add new approver or approvers to the approval hierarchy in PO.

It's not practical for someone to give you the navigation steps without knowing how your approvals are set in your system because the steps are different if you are using position hierarchy or direct hierarchy. The steps are also different depending on whether you have HR installed. You should check Chapter 2 "Approval, Security, and Control" of the Oracle Purchasing User’s Guide.

Hi,When I submit the budget for approval, it is approved and base lined when we submit it for approval. It does not go in approval hierarchy. We want it to flow through approval hierarchy.

Hi Amit,
if I understand correctly, you just need for a particular object a tooltip to be showed.
There is no such functionality hence you used the trick of using a hyperlink, which if clicked generates undesired behavior.
Hyperlinks don't allow themselves to be disabled, therefore if you are using that workaround you must cope with that.
I would suggest to create an Idea at [https://ideas.sap.com] for having in the properties of an object a tooltip, then post the link to the idea here and other users will vote if they like the idea.
Thanks and regards,
Simone

PO approval hierarchy working on one user and not on other

Hi all,
I am using an approval hierarchy with one preparer and one approver for Purchase order and requisition.
User A is preparer and User B approver.
Requisition hierarchy is doing fine but the Purchase Order Hierarchy gives this error on forewarding the PO..:: " PO Approval Top Process : Error, Wait for Concurrent Programme"
If i assign a different user to this Preparer, the process works fine.
What am i doing worng or what issue am i over looking.
Thanks in Advance.

Found the solution.
Apperently on this installation, my preset named RegularExport should be found with name [RegularExport].
Strange that this works on on installation.

How to implement Approval hierarchy for Sales Order in Order Management.

Hi,
We need approval process for sale orders in Order Management module. Currently we are using credit HOLD option for orders at shipping level. The issue we are facing now is we can not cancel those orders who contains Service Line item in it while on HOLD. The restriction raised at the time of cancelling the order that the Line Item is "fulfilled". Service line item's get fulfilled.
Is that any other possibility to have Approval hierarchy for Sales Orders in Order Management Module? If it is possible can anybody share the related document or implementation guide?
Thanks with anticipation in advance.
Many Regards
Kaleem Bhatti

I copied the standard order header workflow and the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to custom workflows. I then modified the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to put another completely custom workflow (call this "Approvals") in between the "Book Eligible" and "Book" steps.
The "Approvals" step assessed the sales order, changed the order header to the pending approval flow_status_code, and sent out the appropriate notifications. The "Approvals" step returned a Complete/Incomplete where complete would proceed to "Book" and incomplete would go back to "Book Eligible." The new workflow was then assigned to the order type needed. I don't still have access to that environment (job change) or I would give more definite instructions.

Approval Hierarchy or an Approver for a MENU

Dear All,
If I divide all Standard Project Manager Responsibility's MENUs or Functions in SDLC Format in a Custom Responsibility like....
1) Initiation (label)
a. Menu 1
b. Menu 2
2) Planning (label)
a. Menu 3
b. Menu 4
c. Menu 5
3) Execution (label)
a. Menu 6
b. Menu 7
c. Menu8
In this SDLC, can we define "Approval Hierarchy" or an "Approver" for all the phases ?? So that the Project Manager needs to take Approaval before going to the Next Phase of SDLC.
Khan.

Hi
There is no standard functionality that link between responsibility menu, sub-menu, functions and the approval hierarchy of any business process.

How to create new approval hierarchy

Dear Experts, I want to know if we can create a new approval hierarchy.
I know that there is a existing seeded hierarchy. We create new process and it goes for review and finally it gets approved. But this would happen according to roles assigned to the users and that to for only two steps one is the reviewer and other is the approver, but i want that there be 2 reviewer and 3 approver, than how can i assign any further roles for the same process to be to be reviewed and approved by more people.
1) Can we create new approval hierarchy.if yes then how?
2) what will be there roles assigned to them?
3) if it can be done by rules , than what is the scripts for the same.?
4) If it can be done with perspective hierarchy then how to confirgure and what roles to assign?
Please help me with the above problem.
Regards,
Prince

This can be done, but it will require work using Flow Rules and perhaps Form Rules. This is a complex setup you're looking for, and I would recommend seeking a professional implementer to assist you. People like Oracle Consulting for GRC is available and have had success in these type of setups.

Project Approval Hierarchy

I want to setup Project Approval Hierarchy .I want to know what are the neccessary setups to do so ?

What Prasanna said is correct. Also below is the way to do the setup for this.
You need to setup the Project Type to use the Approval workflow in the Status/workflow tab of the project types window.
Also you should mention the item type and process of the workflow to be called during status change in the 'Project Statuses' form's workflow tab.

Approval Hierarchy

Hi,
Issue :-1
I am sending an document for approval ( Standard Purchase order) .
1. Mr "A" has entered the data and sent for approval and the document is in "IN PROCESS"
2.Mr "B" has received the notiification and submitted for approval .
Problem :
From his notification the document has been sent as "APPROVED" but the document is still showing "IN PROCESS"
What I Tried
1. Checked the approval hierarchy -- correct
2. Ran the workflow background engine - with deferred - Y -- completed
3. Ran the fill employee hierarchy - completed
but no luck
Regards

Check the Purchase Order Approval Workflow. Query the same in Workflow Administrator.
It seem Approver B is not having authority to Approver the Document. Supervisor of B is not present or end-dated and Workflow is not able to find the Correct Approver.
Purchase Order is has dynamic Approval, in which it will not build the entire list during but will send for the next level of Approver once current approver approve the notification.
You check the setup for Approval. If its Employee Supervisor Herirachy then check for the Supervisor of B. Else check the reporting position of B's position and its setup is correct or not.
If its Position Herirachy.

Approval hierarchy to issue Minimum safety stock

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement to have an automated approval hierarchy for issuing the inventory below a safety stock limit defined. How can we achieve that. I know that there is some option as "minimum safety stock" in SAP, but we need that a workfklow to be activated when the stock reaches to this level and only after approval it should be allowd to be issued. Is it possible to implement?

Hi,
There is no approval concept in this case. But you may check the below work around, Activate availability check for the material. Then you may maintain the message M7181 as user specific and maintain it as error message for the users who are NOT supposed to issue the goods below the safety stock. Refer the thread: message to be make error for specific user id
You may create a program to find the materials with stock equal to safety stock and send the result. You may schedule the job in background with specific interval. Also refer the thread: Material alert workflow

Budget Approval Hierarchy

what are the steps to do Budget Approval Hierarchy ?

Hi,
To enable budget approval workflow:
1) Activate the check box in Project Type window for budget approval in last tab page
2) Activate the check box in Budget Type window for existing or new budget types where we need to use approval.
When budget are defined for any project (using project type defined in step 1) and budget type, then approval process is activated by default.
However the supervisor is identified based on HR definition. The approval is only one level using the default workflow.
Hope the info helps.

Iprocurement Requisition submission fails with Wrong Approval Hierarchy

Hi,
I am setting new AME Rules for Iprocurement Requisitions(Internal), and while submitting it shows an error saying 'Problem with Wrong Approval Hierarchy'.
I had setup AME rules correctly, and all of a sudden its showin gme the error,
I have checked my Requistion with the test Transaction and it shows correctly, but am not able to submit new Iproc requisitions.
I have also taken the Setup Report for Internal Requisition Approval and it looks all fine.
Had any one faced this kind of errors before ?
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi,
We believe Iprocurement does not support AME. Please get it confirmed from oracle support.

Can Project Approval hierarchy can be decided on Project Amount

HI ,
I want to make a approval hierarchy depending upon the Project Amount .
Like If Project Amount <=10000
Then Hierarchy A will be followed
And If Project Amount > 10000
Then Hierarchy B will be followed
Regards,
Prakhar

Hi,
The standard functionality uses supervisor ID of the person, who submits the project for approval. This is independent of the project total amount.
But it is possible to customize the workflow and include the project amount as condition. A custom table may be necessary to capture supervisor and subordinate relationship based on the project amount. Instead of the normal supervisor ID, the new supervisor ID may be passed into the standard workflow and achieve the required functionality.
Hope this helps.

Are application and Crystal Reports are running from the same machine?
What is the error message? Any error numbers?

PO approval hierarchy

In case a person belonging to a particular position in the approval hierarchy is on leave, he should be able to depute someone(selected beforehand) to carry out this job. Is it possible to map this? How?

Simply setup a vacation rule that will automatically forward the notification to someone else.
This can be done by either the person going on a vacation or Workflow Admin.
Hope this helps
