PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIALS - SECONDARY INVOICE APPROVAL FUNCTIONALITY

Using Public Sector financials, it is possible to be entered as an entry clerk and approver within the same approval group. This means that a user can enter and approve the same invoice. Is it possible to functionally either a.) Prevent the user from being entered as both a user & approver within the same approval group or b.) Prevent a user form approving their own invoice?

You can use HCM Processes and Forms.
In MSS Team -> Start Employee Process service.
Check the standard delivered below Processes in t-code HRASR_DT
HR_PA_XX_CHANGE_SALARY_1 Salary Change 1 (XX)
HR_PA_XX_CHANGE_SALARY_2 Salary Change 2 (XX)
You can copy this to custom and change as per your requirement.

Invoice approval functionality in R12

HI
I can apply the Invoice approval functionality on invoice matched with receipt?
Or it’s only applied on invoice not match with Item?
Thanks

When you use the Invoice Approval feature, all invoices require approval, with the following exceptions. Payables sets the Approval status of the following invoices to Not Required:
• expense reports imported through the Payables Expense Report Import Program (because these expense reports have already been through an approval process)
• recurring invoices if the recurring invoice template did not have the Approval Workflow Required option enabled (because recurring invoices are often approved in advance)
• invoices that existed before you enabled the feature
• Invoices that completed the Invoice Approval Workflow process and the Invoice Approval Workflow process determined that according to the rules set up in Oracle Approvals Management that no one needs to approve the invoice.
You can refer to the following Metalink Note for more information on Invoice approval Workflow

The Secondary Invoice Approval workflow .
What happens when workflow is triggered;
Workflow will start for any invoice that has a secondary approval hold applied and does not have a workflow already in progress..
If all the lines of an invoice are approved then the secondary approval hold on the invoice is released by the workflow..
So this is the processs..
Minimum requirement for the workflow to run is
Any Invoice with a secondary approval hold on it…….

UK Public sector : Teachers Pension Patch and Functional Setup

Hi
I have a query regarding the functional setup for the above. (I am assuming / expecting answer from those who have done this setup already and they know/gone thorugh the patch readme file )
I am trying to use the code provided in the patch readme file to findout correct tier for pension contribution..In order to do that I need the Annual FTE Salary inside fast formula.
The patch readme says ,
Once the Formula has retrieved the pension contribution Rate, it needs to be
applied to the actual earnings in the period.
l_tps_emp_contr_sal = FULL_TIME_ANNUAL_SALARY_TPS_ASG_TRANSFER_PTD
However I am getting zero value for FULL_TIME_ANNUAL_SALARY_TPS_ASG_TRANSFER_PTD.
i.e. l_tps_emp_contr_sal is zero which is being passed to
l_EE_Contribution_Percent = to_number(GET_TABLE_VALUE
('PQP_TPA_PENSIONABLE_PAY_RANGE',
'Employee Contribution Rate',
to_char(l_tps_emp_contr_sal)))
and nothing is coming up.....
How do I get the correct value of FULL_TIME_ANNUAL_SALARY_TPS_ASG_TRANSFER_PTD ?
The readme says following
FTE Salary/Amount
The Annual salary is the Gross Full Time Equivalent salary based on which the
band should be decided. There can be multiple elements per assignment that
could be populating this value and each element may have different
configurations for example:
a. Element may have annual value from which a period value is calculated
b. Period value to be paid
The above this can be further classified based on
a. usage of working pattern or working hours
b. Full time salary
c. Part time salary.
a. One time payment on which Annualisation may not be applied but FTE should
be applied.
b. One time payment on which Annualisation may be applied but FTE should
not be applied.
c. Annual Value on which FTE should be applied.
d. Annual Value on which FTE should not be applied
There are many more variants to the scenarios described above.
To achieve the calculation of the Gross Annual Full Time Equivalent salary
for all possible scenarios the seeded element FTE Annualised Pay should be
used by the customer.
In order for the Pension contribution rate to be determined, the FTE annual
salary effective at the period in question, must be available.
It is presumed that the FTE value will be available for the current elements
that customer uses for paying the teachers as it would be needed to determine
the actual payment value for the period.
This value will be fed to the new seeded element (FTE Annualised Pay) by the
individual element formula.
Suggested changes for determining Annual Full Time value:
Suggested changes in elements formula for determining Annual Full Time value:
The following statements should be added to the existing earnings element
formula. These are suggested changes to the existing formulae to derive the
Annual FTE salary.
Case 1: If the Element Formula has access to Annual FTE Value.
return_Annual_inf = ANNUAL_VALUE
/*Assign Annual FTE Value for this element to variable return_Annual_inf*/
Case 2: If the Element formula has access to only to Period value and
Annual FTE Value is not stored anywhere.
return_Annual_inf = (PERIOD_VALUE * PAY_STATUTORY_ANNUAL_PERIODS)
/* Assign Period Full time Value for this element multiplied by standard
DBI for annual periods to local variable return_Annual_inf */
Case 3: If the Element formula has access to only to Annual Part time value
and Annual FTE Value is not stored anywhere.
return_Annual_inf = ANNUAL_VALUE / ASG_FTE_VALUE
/* Assign Period Full time Value for this element multiplied by standard
DBI for annual periods to local variable return_Annual_inf */
Case 4: If the Element formula has access to only to Period Part time value
and Annual FTE Value is not stored anywhere.
return_Annual_inf=(PERIOD_VALUE*PAY_STATUTORY_ANNUAL_PERIODS)/ASG_FTE_VALUE
/* Assign Period Full time Value for this element multiplied by standard
DBI for annual periods then divided by standard DBI for FTE to local
variable return_Annual_inf */
Note:
The new local variable return_annual_inf should be returned from formula to
the new seeded information element FTE Annualized Pay.

Hi
I recently did an evaluation of this patch, and I did get it to work; however, in order to do so I needed to amend some other formulas for e.g. calculation of salary, so that the annualised FTE figure was returned from the formula. This was then referenced in the formula result rules for the annual salary element, to feed that new result to the seeded element provided in the patch ('FTE Annualised Pay'). That then fed the balance.
It's a major headache as you will have to similarly amend all formulas/result rules pertaining to elements that could form part of the reckonable pay for this calculation.
Where I am, we won't be using it as we had to come up with our own solution to stand any chance of being 'legal' in time for April.
Hope this is of use

Vision Demo Install for Public Sector

I am trying to locate a copy of the Vision Demo 11i environment for the Public Sector Financials. Does anyone know of its existence? We do not want to load the Private Sector version as it does us no good.
null

Hi;
We successfully installed 12.1 dev on Linux. Planning to install Vision Demo. Looking some instructions from experts
1)     Current 12.1 dev installed with applmgr user.If you will make vision demo installation on same machine you can create one other user as applvis
2)     Planning to install Vision with Oracle user.You can make installation as root user.Can create oravis user for db tier
3)     Created corresponding folders etc.You can create folder as /u01/DEMO and give 777 to DEMO for installation
4)     Is it required to stop all the services with applmgr user?If you are going to make installation on same linux server yes its better way to stop dev instance for make new installation more fast, other way you can have some performance problem

Interface to SAP Financials for Public Sector

Hi Team
We have a request for interface of SAP CTE to SAP Financials for "Public Sector". Could you let us know if you have completed any such implementation and the additional integration effort needed, if any.
Regards
Sunder

Hi Sunder,
I am not aware of any such project. Technically this might be possible, but I would expect that a public sector company has additional requirements compared to others, like concurrent employment, funds management integration, etc. Without knowing the details I would assume a lot of potential issues in such a project.
Best regards, Reinhard

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

I want to ensure that these are not just marketing buzzwords but real solutions.
All I need is a description of the solution and / or the Siebel View or BC that supports these claims.

Project template-List boxes(Public sector,Work in Process,Template)

Project template-List boxes(Public sector,Work in Process,Template)
What is the functionality of these 3 list boxes???plzzzzzzzzzzz help?? if at all i enable where i can get find it in the reporting??which reports??
Once the project is created can v define that project as template???Y template list box enabled even at that stage???
Plz help me to know the functionality....thanks a lot n advance...

Hi
You may enable an existing project as a template. Doing so will allow you to create new projects from that template.
Public Sector is an attribute of a project you may use when you set the Auto Accounting rules. This is useful if you need to account differently for projects executed for the public sector versus projects executed for commercial companies or individuals.
Workflow in process checkbox is flagged if you enable the workflow for project status changes. In such case, when you want to change the status the workflow will be fired and until the new project status is approved you will bee that the project is waiting for the workflow processing to complete.

How to track the invoice approval in Apps?

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario, that one invoice is entered, then it was approved and then paid. Now i want to track, who approved the invoice. AP invoice approval workflow is not used.
Is it possible to achieve the same? if yes then how.
A quick help is what is needed as this issue is most urgent.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
A.B.

Hi.
As far as i know, there is no standard functionality to suit your needs. Even if you use a query to find the invoice status how would you know who approved it? The field LAST_UPDATED_BY will contain the user id of the user who made the last update. But how would you know that the last updated field was the approval status?
About space consuming perhaps it will not be so relevant as you would only be looking at a table and a few fields.
Just my two cent...

Public Sector Procurement - Origin Acceptance?

My client is a government agency. In the procurement process they have described a process of providing acceptance of goods at the suppliers plant prior to the delivery and receipt at the ordering plant.
I have searched for functionality to meet this requirement and have found a single reference to "Origin Acceptance" as a process in the area Public Sector -> Government Procurement -> Operational Procurement -> Origin Acceptance.
http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/9256F869F6B7483FADBD307813C9B2DF.htm
I can't find any further documentation. Is the "Origin Acceptance" function really available?

SAP Procurement for Public Sector package

Hi All,
does anyone have any useful info on what is actually included in the SAP Procurement for Public Sector package?
I've read the solution brief which is really general and doens't actually give any details.
What I'm after is to know which components of SRM are actually included in this licensing package?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
I'm part of the IBU for Public Sector, specializing in the SAP PPS Package.
HIGH-LEVEL PACKAGE CONTENTS (a.k.a. BOM):
- SAP SRM (current GA release based on 5.0; Q4 08 planned release is based on 7.0)
- SAP Document Builder (current GA release v 2.0; Q4 08 planned release has v 3.0)
- SAP NW Records Management/Case Management (rights to use for any procurement scenarios - HR, FI, other uses require additional licenses)
- Enhancements to these components and SAP ERP 2005 that are known in the technical component list as Government Procurement 1.0 (in the current GA release) or Government Procurement 7.0 (in the Q4 08 release).
COMPONENT EXPLANATIONS:
- When we say "SAP SRM", generally we mean "the combined package of engines that were formerly sold as single components", including Strategic Sourcing, Bidding Engine, Auctions, MDM Catalog (only - not all MDM is included), etc. Legally, I cannot say "all SRM components" because the list may be changed periodically, but I cannot think of a particular exception either.
- SAP Document Builder is currently not sold separately.
- SAP NetWeaver Records and Case Management are not the ones used in CRM - these are the standard delivered apps for Records and Case Management with SAP, used to accomplish several PPS scenarios.
CLARIFICATIONS:
NOTE1: product PPS should NOT be referred to as "SAP Government Procurement", which is a retired product name. The term "Government Procurement" today only refers to the technical set of enhancements, and is an internal convention within SAP, so you won't see it referred to normally.
NOTE2: eSourcing is not the same as SRM. eSourcing is not part of PPS, and is not part of the license for PPS. We do not recommend a customer to buy both eSourcing and PPS, since they address different needs and pains. e.g., PPS should be considered when integration with ERP is important.
NOTE3: ERP 6.0 is required for PPS customers, but SRM 'core' does not have that dependency. It's too long to explain here, but suffice to say you wouldn't expect to be able to run an XBOX game on your 1986 Nintendo console. We cannot run most new PPS functionality on older ERP releases for much of the same reason: we have been building new functionality as quickly as NetWeaver gave us the tools to do so. If this stuff were easy it've been done by now - by SAP and our competitors.
However, rest assured ERP PRs (and SOs) can still start the process as well as SRM Shopping Carts and POs are replicated to ERP so follow-on GR/IR can be done in ERP.
Enhancements have been made to ERP 6.0 as well, including in the base release, and in EhP 3 and EhP 4 of ERP 6.0, which will be important with the Q4 08 PPS planned release, to enable signifcant new complex line item and pricing functionality and other features. And again - you can run Classic + Extended Classic using the Ext Classic BADI.
NOTE4: ERP 6.0 is not part of the PPS BOM and no ERP 6.0 rights are included. Customers must have Business Suite or other ERP user licenses in conjunction.
NOTE5: Customers with SRM licenses today may convert their license to PPS. This is done on a case-by-case basis, so SRM customers in Public Sector are not required to migrate or convert - contact your SAP AE for details if you need more information.
For more information, you can contact me at: FirstnamedotlastnameatSAPdotcom.
Rules prohibit me from typing the address into the answer, but I am the Field Services contact for partners in the Americas for this product so it's appropriate in this case to contact me directly.
Thanks to SDN regular Andreas Muno for sending me your Post so that I could respond.
