PRO5 Expense manager getting auto approved

Hi All,
When i go to PR05, and enter the travel expenses and save, system should save the trip in request recorded stage where as the system is saving the data in approved stage. Could anyone let us know what is causing this error.
Thanks and regards,
Samba.

Hi,
Appending above there are five values in feature TRVPA and WRP..
Possible values:
o   0 = Every trip entered must be saved via the status screen.
o   1 = Every trip entered receives the approval status "Travel Request
    Entered".
o   2 = Every trip entered receives the approval status "Travel Request
    Approved".
o   3 = Every trip entered receives the approval status "Trip
    Completed".
o   4 = Every trip entered receives the approval status "Trip Approved".
o   5 = Every trip entered whose end date is later than the entry date
    receives the status "Travel Request Entered". Every trip recorded
    whose end date is earlier than or the same as the entry date
    receives the status "Trip Completed".
Your current value would be 2 ...
Reset your value 1
Hopes it would serve your purpose...

Expense's getting Auto Approved and Invoiced.

HI
Few of the Expense report/s are getting Auto Approved and Invoiced in the system.
Due to which a valid GL accoutn combination is not generated.

V.

This is related to either your setup or an extension. There must be a hole in your logic if you are using an extension. If not, your Workflow may be setup to do "Go One Stop, then Go Directly." This flow will check for an approver, if it does not exists at the immediate supervisor level, it will autoapprove the Expense report and then flow directly to AP.

Approval Notification getting auto approved.

Oracle Gurus,
I am stuck with this workflow and need you urgent help. Below is the problem description:
I have created a custom workflow to send notification to certain level of approvers for there approval. Attached is the screenshot of the workflow. Let us say there are 5 approvers: MGR1 -> MG2 -> MGR3 -> MGR4 -> MGR5
When the workflow is invoked the notification goes to MGR1 correctly, when MGR1 approves it goes to MGR2 notification gets auto-approved (skips MGR2) and goes to MGR3. When MGR3 approves it goes to MGR4 and gets auto approved as before and goes to MGR5.
It's skipping alternative approvers by auto approving the notification!!! Any idea as to why? The notification's "On Revist" property is set to "Loop".
Any kind of assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Leave Deletion requests get auto-approved

Hi,
If an approved leave is deleted in calendar view then it does not go for approval to manager. Instead it gets deleted immediately
What is the reason for this ? Std behaviour is required that the deleted leave should appear in red color and when manager approves it, it should be deleted and turned to white color in the calender to indicate that the leave is deleted.
kindly help
thanks
b

Hi B,
I think it depends on the leave you mentioned posted or not.
As far as I know the flow of leave approval is look like this:
1) User submit leave request
2) Approver approve
3) Schedule job post approved leave to ERP
It is marked as approved in both stage 2 and 3, but if the leave is still at stage 2, user can delete the leave without approval, while approval is required at stage 3.

Timecard submitted from OTL Timekeeper screen is auto approved.

Hi all
Timecards submitted from OTL Timekeeper screen are auto approved even if I set the Time Store Approval Style preference to Supervisor Approval and link the preference to Timekeeper responsibility using Eligibility Criteria tab.
I am expecting the timecard should go for an approval to supervisor since the approval style preference is set to Supervisor Approval but its auto approved as soon as the timecard is submitted. May I know the reason why the timecard is auto approved or am I missing any setup to send the approval notification to supervisor. Here the customer would like send the approval notification to supervisor if the timecard is submitted from timekeeper screen. Please advice.
Please note that timecard submitted from self-service time is sending the approval notification to supervisor as expected.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Nag

Hi
Thanks for the response.
As per my understading, prefereces linked to responsibility wouldn't be considered if the timecard is submitted for approval through timekeeper. In my case, i have three different users employee, admin & manager. If either employee or admin submit the timecard then it should be sent to approval for manager. If manager submits the timecard then the timecard should be autoapproved. Pls note that all three will be using three different responsibilities to submit the timecard. I have created 4 differents of preferences.
The preferences are linked as follows:
Default preferece (Auto Approval) linked to All People with precedence 10
Employee preference (Supervisor Approval ) linked to Self-Service Time responsibility with precedence 20
Admin preference (Supervisor) linked to OTL time-keeper responsibility with precedence 30.
Manager preference(Auto Approval) linked to OTL Super Time-Keeper responsibility with precedece 40.
With the above setup, approvals are working fine as expected but if the timecard is submitted by admin then it's getting auto-approved.
To fix the issue, i have changed the setup slightly as below
Default preferece (Supervisor Approval ) linked to All People with precedence 10
Employee preference (Supervisor Approval ) linked to Self-Service Time responsibility with precedence 20
Admin preference (Supervisor) linked to OTL time-keeper responsibility with precedence 30.
Manager preference(Auto Approval) linked to OTL Super Time-Keeper responsibility with precedece 40.
With this setup, timecard submitted by admin is going for an approval to manager (as desired) but if manager submits the timecard then the workflow sends a notification to the manager for approval which is not expected.
Is there anyway to have different approval styles for both manager & admin. If admin submits then it should be sent for approval otherwise if manager submits then it should be auto approved.
Please advice.
Thank you so much for your help.

Nag

OTL - Auto Approving timecard

Hi,
We have got an issue where timecards get auto approve for cases given in metalink note 443432.1. What I want to know - is there anyways we can stop auto approve? Through some profile option or something.
Thanks!

The approval style form includes a number of components.
The first component is a 'data interdependency rule'. In this section you can create a validation rule for whether the data needs approval. This can be done for each receiving application for the timecard information.
The second section determines the approval method. e.g. HR Supervisor, Project Manager etc.
IIn the data interdependency section, the rule is coded in a Fast Formula. The FF can call an external function, so basically any logic is possible. The prupose of the rule is to return a flag indicating if the data for a specific application needs approval. If the FF returns Y(es) then the subsequent approval method for that application will be invoked.
Using this method, you can control what data requires approval and what does not.
If you extend this to use time categories, you can effectively determine if a subset of data requires approval.
Hope this help! It's a rather complex part of OTL that can take a long time to explain.

Tim

Leave for employee without approver is auto-approved.

Hi,
I'm trying to customize the HR_APPROVAL_CUSTOM pkg whereby I would want the leave for an employee without an approver not to auto-approve and instead raise an error message to sysadmin. Currently, when an employee who applies for leave has no approver, the leave will be auto-approved.
We are using position hierarchy in our system and also AME rules.
Appreciate if anyone can guide as to what would need to be done so that the leave does not get auto-approved.
Thanks in advanced.

Requisition auto-approval in AME

Hi,
Is there a way to handle a scenario with AME where we need to have the requisition auto-approved whenever the amount is less than 1K.
I am able to use AME for all other scenarios, where the requistion moves for a different person's approval. But what about auto-approval ?
Pls help me on this.
Regards,
Sambit

Hi Sanjay,
How are you setting up approval greater than 1000 USD?
I guess u have created a condition called requisition total > 1000
then u would hv also created a approval group XXX (with either static or dynamic list)
Then u would hv created a rule with this condition requisition total > 1000, then use this approval group XXX...
when u create a req for 1001 USD, the person in approval group XXX will come as approvers...but when u create for 1000 USD or less than that,
there is not rule(condition) satisfying and hence no approval group will be picked up...
the trickiest point here is, if there is no approvers, AME will throw an error. To override or suppress this error for empty approval list,
In AME, set the attribute 'Allow empty approval groups' and 'Auto Approve' to true for this transaction type and it should get auto approved.

Auto Approving the Work Items.

Hi,
I am working on scenario where if manager is requesting something for user, like Course Approval or Cancellation then WF should auto approve the WI.
If initiator = manager
then auto approve WI and send notification.
How can i achieve it.

Can you please let us know what is module you are working, because , there is a possibility that you might have specific process function modules to approve the workitem from back ground and at the same time the FM will update teh respective tables infotypes or master tables with new updated status.. so first preference should always be searching for the module or process sepcific standard function modules..
If at all you dont find any function mdoules then you can make use of the workitem specific fm like SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM or SAP_WAPI_Decision_Complete and to write the new values into the workitem container then you can make use of the fm SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER.....

Oracle Internet Expenses getting self approved

All,
We have implemented Internet expense in our instance but after a major patching , all the Expense Reports are getting self approved.
Is there any setting or profile option that should be set so that it uses AME for approval.
I have checked the AME Installed Flag profile option and that seems to be correct.
Thanks,

Please see if (What approval methods are available for use with Internet Expenses? [ID 1228281.1]) helps.

Auto Approval Workflow for leave request Management.

Hi Guru's,
I am working on leave request Workflow i.e WS12300111.
Now i have to implement the auto approval of workitem if the approver doesnt take any action in 3days.
1. i have implemented deadline monitoring i.e in Latest end tab
refer date/time :- Expression Date : %DATUM% Time : %UZEIT% 3 days Action : Modeled Display test
Outcome : Reminder Mail
In outcome tab i have activated Processing obsolete.
i have created an activity if the deadline is reached so that it should auto approve the workitem.
in that activity i have created a copy of class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS created 1 method auto_approve. and used function module PT_ARQ_REQUEST_EXECUTE so that it will change the status from SENT to APPROVE.
But when i apply leave in portal , workflow starts but it doesnt reach to branch auto approve after the deadline is reached.
Please suggest is the deadline monitoring implemented correctly or not .
whether the auto approve method used is correct or not
or there is another solution to this
I have checked the SWU3 setting and it is green.
Please Advise
Thanks in Advance
