Production Rule in AME

Whats the use of Production Rule in AME? Where is it used typically?
AG

Hi Brajesh,
I understand why rules are used in AME. The reason my question regarding production rules was generic because i have never used them before, otherwise i would have given a specific issue and asked for an answer to fix that issue using production rule
I have used all other rule types and rules except production rules.

Substituion Rule in AME

Dear all,
Our requirement in AME is to replace an approver (who is on vacation) with another approver. Is there any way to achieve this in AME ?
Hierarchy should not be affected by this. Only the Approver who is on leave should be replaced by the new approver.
Vacation Rule can be used, but it should be done by the Approver who is going on Vacation. In our scenario, if the approver forgets to update vacation rule or if he is not given control of Vacation Rule, then finance team should be able to decide who will be the new approver.
Please help me solve this puzzle. thanks.

Substitution rule in AME

Hi I am not able to create a subtitution rule in AME.
While creating the rule in the 2nd step where we say that "Any Approver" is "Mr XYZ", the LOV for Approver is not returning any values.
Can someone help me why the Approver LOV is not returning any value ?
Thanks in advance,

Oracle AME AP Invoice approval

Hi,
Can some one tell me if in AME with patch B installed.
1) Can i configure AME Invoice approval at the Org level or responsibility level rather than at the application level. I ask this question because we are a multi org single SOB environment and we are trying to implement AME for only one of the org's. If i Setup AME profile AME:Installed = Yes at the application level will all users from my other org also be affected?
2) How do i force PO matched invoices to go through Approval? it seems like the implementation guide says all PO matched invoices automatically goes to Not-required. However, we require PO matched invoices to go through approval. I have followed steps in note 337714.1 but it doesnt seem to work, my PO's still get marked as not required.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Gayathri

Hi Gayathri,
1) Set AME profile AME:Installed = Yes at the application level : Payables. Set Use invoice approval workflow : Y at Payables Options window > Approval step for the related operating unit. Payables invoice approval will work for only those operating units that you set Yes at Payables options.
2) Note 337714.1 was written for R11. If you have the problem at R12 please review the note.
Seeded AME Production Rules Are Not Working (Doc ID 727140.1)
It says:
Cause
The seeded condition in the INVOICE HEADER MATCH CHECK is APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES = False.
This means in order for that condition to be met by any specific invoice and for the production
rule to apply to it, the system would need to be setup with the mandatory attribute Approve
Matched Invoices = False but this also defaults to true.
Hence, for the rule to be applicable, the condition needs to be APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES = True.
Once the seeded rule is setup with condition APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES = True this rule will then be applicable to all the invoices entered and hence the additional condition in that rule can be
evaluated. This will alllow the production rule to be applicable to PO matched invoices which will in effect bypass approval and allow the status to change to Not Required.
Solution
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1) Create a condition with APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES is True
2) Remove the existing condition APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES is False from the rule INVOICE HEADER MATCH CHECK
3) Add the new condition APPROVE_MATCHED_INVOICES is True to the rule INVOICE HEADER MATCH CHECK
4) Test on AME screens and ensure the rule is found applicable.
5) Retest with a new invoice, this time PO matched invoices should not require approval and should
change to Not Required.
Hope it works,
Zeynep

How can i use AME for the new OAF page.

Dear all,
I have developed a new OAF page and registered under Employee Self Service.
How can i use AME for the approval process.
Appreciate your ideas?
zamora

I will try to answer based on my experience of working with iProcurement and AME. It depends on how you want to make a call to AME , directly from OAF Page or from Workflow and your requirement. You didn't specify what you want to show the users on OAF Page and your business requirement.
Before calling AME Engine from the OAF page or workflow, I guess you did already setup AME Transaction Type and it's Approval Groups, Conditions, Action Types and Rules. Do some testing from AME Business Analyst Test Workbench. Please note that, AME provides lot of PL/SQL API's that you have to call from your programs (java or workflow pl/sql)
Let's look at the workflow and putting an OAF Page as notification.
As Sameer said, you have kick-off workflow process from PR of CO and with in the workflow function, you make a call to AME Engine API's with the AME Transaction ID. This transactionId belongs to the AME Transsaction Type that you setup. Based on the rules setup, AME Engine generates list of approvers/approver and stores them AME Tables for that transactionId. Then, it sends a notification to the approver.
In the workflow, where that notification is defined, in the message body you have to put an attribute(&XX_WF_FWK_RN) of type document/send. And this attribute will have the constant JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_FUNC&paramId=-&DOCUMENT_ID-. This function is SSWA Jsp function that makes a web html call to your OAF Region.
If your requirement is to just show the list of approvers on the OAF Page, you may have to call AME API diectly passing your AME TrasnactionId with other parameters. Then AME generates list of approvers and stores them in AME tables with each approver status. You can pickup those approvers using VO and show them on OAF Page.
Hope this gives some idea.

11i upgrade - Step: Apply latest product patches (required)

Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading 11.5.9 (DB 9.2.0.4) to 12.1.1 (DB 10.2.0.5).
As part of the upgrade steps in document titled *"Oracle® E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide Release 11i to 12.1.1 Part No. / E16342-04 / August 2010"*, I was directed to apply the latest product patche. Chapter 3, section 5.
I downloaded the latest copy of the patchsets.sh from Oracle and ran it with the following parameters:
patchsets.sh connect=apps/<apps_password> available=metalink
This tool generated a bunch of reports including one called "Report.txt" and "Report_R12.txt"
Which one of these patches am I supposed to download and apply to be able to continue with the upgrade?

Re: Oracle 8i (8.1.7.4) Rule based v/s Cost based

I think the answer you are looking for is that Rule Based optimizer is predictive, but Cost Based optimizer results may vary depending on statistics of rows, indexes, etc. But at the same time, you can typically get better speed for OLTP relational databases with CBO, assuming you have correct statistics, and correct optimizer settings set.

FYI Notification after final approval using AME

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to send a FYI notification to a group of people after final approval. Could you please guide if it can be done with the help of AME or not.
If yes can you please tell me the detail steps.
Regards,
Rakesh.

Hi Rakesh,
- you can create another rule in AME with the same conditions as your main rule.
- Make sure the rule type is For Your Information.
- Create approval groups for the people you want to send the FYI notification to and add these approval groups to the rule (using Post Approval as action type)
- Make sure the order number of your new approval group is higher than the order number of the approval groups in your main rule. This will ensure that the FYI notification goes in the end and not somewhere in the middle.
Thanks

AME: Reject Invalid Internet Expenses

Hi,
If possible, I would like to create a rule in AME that rejects all iExpenses that contain invalid project codes. We currently have cross-validation rules (in GL) that will send the erroneous reports to the sysadmin, but we would like to reject the report at its creation without further action needed (like a sysadmin contacting the user). Ideally we want to create a rule in AME along the lines, "If a project number is listed on the internet expense and it is not a number from a pre-defined set of valid numbers, then the entire expense report is rejected automatically." Will this require writing an new action type or further customization? Plan B would be to set up a "dummy" supervisor for all projects that automatically rejects all expense reports that do not come from the pre-defined list of acceptable project codes. If neither of these are practical, other ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

I've amended the attribute transaction_requestor_person_id to dynamically select which is the requestor depending on the expense report. Step 2 is to add the action type 'absolute_job_level' to the 'OIE Expense Reports. I've assigned an absolute job level of '1' to my boss' job. I then raised a web expense of $6500. Now i haven't set up any conditions so I'm expecting the expense report to go directly to my boss for approval. However it doesn't, it automatically self approves even though it notifies my boss.

Hi Everyone,
The problem is solved now. The cause was that the test requisition that I was making was satisfying more than one rules and hence I end dated the remaining rules which solved the problem.

Payables Invoice Approval AME Setups

We have a requirement where, If Invoice_amount >= 0, the approval should go to a person (employee) who approves all invoices except those that he creates. Only the invoices that he creates should go to his supervisor. And this person who approves all the invoices except his is not necessarily the supervisor of all people entering invoices, So using HR hierarchy might not be the solution here right? How can i implement such Rule using AME? I mean how do i get the approvers list here? I am pretty new to AME..Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance!
Munna

Hi Munna,
Create 2 Rules and 2 Approver groups and 1 Condition
Create a condition using "TRANSACTION_REQUESTOR_PERSON_ID" Attribute. While creating this condition, you can select the employee name (person who approves all invoices). Condition is TRANSACTION_REQUESTOR_PERSON_ID = <<<Employee name>>>
Creating 2 Approver Groups
1. Create an Approver Group and include only one person name in that. This person is the employee who will approve all the Invoice except the one created by him.
2. The second Approver Group should contain the Supervisor of the above mentioned employee.
Creating 2 Rule
1. Create the First rule will not contain any condition. Add the First Approver group in Action type Section in Rules window.
2. Create the Second rule with the condition which is created as mentioned above. Add the Second approver Group created in the Action Type section in Rules window.
I hope Invoice_amount >0 is not required because, the first rule will always apply to ALL the Invoices which does not satisfy the rule 2.

guru

Change First Approver in Requisition Approval using AME

Hi ,
I have defined rules in AME for Purchase requisition which builds Approval hierarchy based on business rules.
Every thing works as expected but when there is an Approver1 added to the Approval list and when we want to change the first Approver
there is a button on the approval list screen to do so ...when I click on it and try to put a different user to be replacing Approver1 ..it does not happen .
Could some one please tell if it works and if so how to get Change First Approver functionality working on Purchase req --AME.

Q: Questions about iExpense / AP invoice apporval / AME. (11.5.9 & 11.5.1)

Hi, All,
I have a couple of questions about iExpense / AP invoice apporval / AME.
(1) In release 11.5.10, If I set profile option [AME: installed] to No,
Can iExpnese has the same behavior as the previous release?
I means that I just define the approval limits in signing limits window without defining any conditions and rules in AME when the profile is set to No.
(2) If user enables AP invoice approval and set the profile option [AME: installed] to Yes at Applicaiton Level (Payables), Regarding iExpense approval limits, we need to define conditions and rules in AME instead of signing limits in AP. Is it right?
(Release 11.5.9 and Release 11.5.10)
(3) I found the profile option [ OIE:Enable Approval Management] in Release 11.5.9, but can't find it
in Release 11.5.10, Is the profile no longer used and replaced by profile [AME:installed]?
Andy response would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Athena

1) if you set the profile to NO, that mean you didn`t use the AME. the iEepense used the manager which setup in the employee form .
2)Yes, I`m sure in 11i10 .
3) I don`t know.
