Purchase Requisitions Approval Error

Hi,
We are working in Oracle Applications 11i. We have the follwoing modules installed and used: Purchasing, Inventory, HRMS(Payrol), General Ledger, Assets, Payables.
I am trying to fill in the gaps in our initial setup in order to enable the user to use Purchase Requistions documents.
Purchasing Super User wishes to create a Purchase requistion herself and get it approved and then distribute the approved requistions amongst the buyers. Is this possible??? How can we implement this? Can we assign the superuser to aan approval hierarchy of one level?
Also, I have created a multi-level position approval hierarchy , run Fill Employee Hierarchy, and assigned it to the Purchase Requisition document.
Me, in the 1st level have created a Purchase Requistion,I submitted for approval and then had the error:
APP-PO-14142: In Exception of Start_Wf_Process()-PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.Start_WF_Process: In Exception handler: ORA-20002: 3108: Root Process could not be determined for item XXXXX. There may be a problem with item type selector function, or you may be required to supply a starting process Name.
Can someone advise please....
Thank you...

Hi again,
Now please help me in the first part of my post.
How can I setup Purchasing Requisition in one-level hierarchy and approval?
After the Reuisition is approved, in order to control the load balance , how can the super user distribute it to buyers to follow up the standard purchase order and submit it for approval?
Thank you

  • Purchase Requisition Notification Error

    Hello all,
    I have created Purchase Requisition in R12.1.3. While approve that requisition I got below error in Notification.
    Unable to reserve Purchase Requisition 1
    Please guide me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Muthu, you probably have encumberances turned on. The message is telling you that you don't have enough funds for the distribution account listed on the requisition.
    Either increase the funds available or choose a different account.

  • Call purchase requisition approval workflow in abap program

    Hello,
    I copied the standard workflow for the approvaI of a purchase requisition WS00000038 and i tested it. I create a purchase requisition in me51n. This is triggering the event releasestepcreated which starts my workflow. Everything goes ok.
    Now, i want to call this workflow in ABAP. I do not know exactly how to do it. Here is the code I tried.
    data: ls_objkey type SWR_STRUCT-OBJECT_KEY,
    lt_mesage type table of SWR_MESSAG,
    gt_container type table of swr_cont,
    gs_container type swr_cont.
    gs_container-element = 'ReleaseCode'.
    gs_container-value = '01'.
    append gs_container to gt_container.
    gs_container-element = 'requisition'.
    gs_container-value = '0010000362'.
    append gs_container to gt_container.
    gs_container-element = 'RequisitionHeader '.
    gs_container-value = '0010000362'.
    append gs_container to gt_container.
    ls_objkey = '0010000362'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
    EXPORTING
    object_type = 'BUS2009'
    object_key = ls_objkey
    event = 'RELEASESTEPCREATED'
    TABLES
    input_container = gt_container
    MESSAGE_LINES = lt_mesage.
    As you can see i filled he RequisitionHeader, requisition and release code. I saw in the workflow that i copied, that these are import parameters. Requisition and release code are mandatory. 0010000362 is a purchase requisition that i created.
    After i run the program i receive a work item in SBWP but it has the status error.
    Can you help me?Perhaps anyone has done this. I think that i am not filling the correct data or something like that. Maybe you can look in the standard workflow WS00000038 and tell me what I should pass and how.
    Thank you,
    Efren

    Hi Efren,
    The Problem is, for the purchase requisition there is two key fields.
    So when you pass the keyfiled to workflow it should be the concatenation of Purchanse requisition number and the item number.
    You have to pass the object key as below.
    ls_objkey = '00100003620010'.
    Then only your business object will getting insatanciated.
    Thanks,
    Viji.

  • Purchase Requisition Approval Customization

    Hi All,
    The standard purchase requisition notification only shows the project under the heading Cost Center and our client wanted the notification to show the full charge account which we achieved by modifying the standard oracle package PO_WF_REQ_NOTIFICATION
    Now we are upgrading from 11.5.9 to R12. Can somebody tell me how it can be achieved in R12?
    Thanks,
    Sonia

    Hi,
    Try these options,
    Method-1_
    Try to capture the org information before you start the WF and pass the Org Id as parameter in the workflow through WF code change.
    Method-2_
    You need to devide the WF activities into 2 parts.. 1 part for all orgs and the 2nd part is for specific org.. You need to define a node prior to "waiting Activity" for approval which will capture Org_id and progrmatically you need to decide which path to follow.
    Say Org_code="xyz"
    IF Node (Org_id !="xyz") --> Wait State of WF --> Next approver (This is for all orgs other than "xyz")
    IF Node (org_id ='xyz") --> without wait State of WF --> Next approver (This is for specific org only)

  • Purchase requisition (msg error)

    hi
    during the inception of the purchase requisition, and Once I click ENTRE after going to enter the material code. SAP displays the following message :
    ""Conflicts in screen size; for more information, see the note SAP 570861""
    what this means ?
    best regards

    hi,
    release note:
    Summary
    Symptom
    Elements in subscreens are only partly displayed or cannot be scrolled correctly.
    NetWeaver Business Client
    In the NetWeaver Business Client, as a result of the warning dialog, the system displays the following dialog:
    "Server Busy.
    This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose #Switch To# to activate the busy program..."
    You are unable to avoid the second dialog. Simply choose "Switch To" and close the original warning dialog. Since the warning dialog and the second dialog are not displayed in the customer system, this is not really problematic.
    Other terms
    Resize
    Reason and Prerequisites
    These types of errors may be due to conflicts in size between subscreens and their elements.
    Solution
    This is an ABAP application error that must be corrected by the application programmer responsible for ABAP. The easiest way to find the application component that is responsible is as follows:
    After you reach the screen that contains the error, choose the "System/Status..." menu option. Then double-click the transaction name in the "Transaction" field. On the next screen, choose the "Goto/Object directory entry" menu option. Double-click the package to display the application component that is responsible.
    Background information:
    As of patch 22 (Version 2766 of sapfront.dll) for the 620 GUI and subsequent versions of SAP GUI for Windows, the size of subscreens and their elements is checked at the front end. If conflicts occur, they are logged in an error log file (for example, sapfewdll_XX_XXXX_XX_XXXX.err.trc) in \SapWorkDir (Note 360504). A dialog box referring to the conflicts may appear before the incorrect screen is displayed. The display of this dialog box can be activated or deactivated in the front-end options (Options (Alt+F12) -> Options -> Activate Dialog Window for Screen Size Check##).
    As of patch level 39 of the SAP GUI for Windows 6.20 and subsequent versions of SAP GUI for Windows, customers can only activate or deactivate this check (size checking) by modifying the registry. If the entry "CheckDynproSize" under
    \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\ Customize\
    is filled with the value 1 (DWORD), it is activated, and if the value is 0, it is deactivated. You have to create the entry if it does not exist.
    The error log file should be forwarded to the development department of the ABAP program in question so that the error can be eliminated.
    You can use Note 324687 to display the subscreen borders. You can use transaction ST20 to analyze and display the screen trace recording. For example: For information about analyzing the subscreen call hierarchy (subscreen tree), see Note 365940.
    If a checkbox is the last element on the right of a subscreen or step loop, you can ignore this error message.
    hope this may help you,
    Regards,
    Srinivas

  • Initiating re-approval on price change durin purchase requisition approval

    Hello everyone,
    Must be a basic requirement for most people...can you please help us here?
    We have a requisition approval hierarchy (defined in AME). We want the functionality that whenever an approver updates the price (through the "Open Document" in notification), the purchase requisition should be sent for re-approval starting with the requestor. Is there any profile option or workflow attribute which can be used for this purpose? I believe PO has some such option for setting the tolerance percentage, but don't know whether iprocurement has similar one.
    Btw, we are using 11.5.10.2
    thanks in advance,

  • Workflow email for Purchase Requisition Approval

    We have a requirement of sending email to the approvers for approving purchase requisition. Alongwith the email sent out to the approvers (to their Outlook/ Lotus Notes Inbox), we will also like to show the content of the line items of the purchase requisiton. i understand this can be done since in the past at other implementations, I have seen that the email contains the link to goto SAP Ibox and it also shows the content of the requistions.
    Our issue is that we are not being able to pass on the content of the requistion line items to the approvers inbox. Is there a setting to activate this in workflow or somewhere that we are missing? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • AME purchase requisition approval at line level R12

    Hello
    how can i create an approval list starting from the cost center on purchase requisition distribution.
    the logic to identify the starting person id from the cost center is clear: in cost center flexfield value set there's an attribute with the person identifier: so no problem in retrieving it.
    i'm able to do when dynamically defining approval group.
    but what i want is that, if a requisition has 3 lines with cost centers A, B, B, two list are created in parallel for approver of A and approver of B
    how can i setup AME to do that?
    thanks

    Were you able to get any resolution to this? We are on R12 also. Oracle says iProcurement only supports rules defined at the header level. We are trying to find out if they intend to introduce line level approvals in the future.

  • AME Purchase Requisition Approval

    Can anybody help me? I want a dymanic query for the attribute PO Line Type (which is a custom attribute). We want AME to work based on this attribute. The attribute has to pull the value of line type , whether it's goods, services etc and based on that we have to define the AME rule. Please send me the query. We have some seeded attributes which is using these kind of dynamic queries. I tried to create one like that. But it's not working.

  • Purchasing Controls - Purchase Orders from Purchase Requisitions

    I need some help with setting up purchasing controls.  We are looking to put in place a control that allows users to convert purchase requisitions into PO, but only create the purchase order for the quantity on the purchase requisition.
    As I see it, we need to do the following:
    1) Require that PO references a Purchase Requisition
    2) Do not allow the PO qty to exceed the Purchase Requisition qty
    Background
    - Purchase Requisition approval not needed for reqs created by MRP
    - Have investigated transaction OMET and function authorization, but does not fit the need.  If we require Purchase Req as reference, it does not allow reference to Contract.  If we select contract and purchase requisition, a PO can be created referencing Contract without a purchase requisition.
    Regards,
    Jeff

    1) Require that PO references a Purchase Requisition
    Use OMET adn do not select the ref to contract check box but select the ref to Purchase requistion
    now make the source list is required for mateiral and than create the source list and enter the contract in the source list.
    now  when user create the req and the source determination is check than system will put the contract as source in reqs and than you can create the PO using reqs.
    2) Do not allow the PO qty to exceed the Purchase Requisition qty
    Activate the message an error :  06 076 Materials of requisition & item & alr. ordered in full
    which will stop user to alter the quantity in the PO and will not allow to use again same reqs if orderd full

  • Using AME for Purchase Requisition Apporval transaction type

    Hi ,
    Product : EBS --11.5.10.2 AME B rollup 2 .
    We wanted to introduce approvers based on requisition line total and a dff value on requisition line.
    For that we created a line level attribute to calculate the requisition line amount Then created a test condition saying if req line total is > 1500 Introduce and approval group.
    When creating a rule It says create a rule at header level So went into Approvals Management Administrator resp and changed the Configuration Variables allowAllItemClassRuleswhether AME allows to create subordinate item class rules-- Yes at transaction type Purchase requisition Approval . This allowed be to create the rule for the line level Tested real transaction on test workbench --This works fine
    When tested this using the actual requisition --It gives and error "You do not have the authority to approve this requisition and an Approval List was not created automatically. Please contact your system administrator."
    Error message in the log shows :
    EXCEPTION:[icx.por.approval.server.ApprovalListAMImpl]:Fatal OAException:java.sql.SQLException: ORA-20001: The input ame_util.approverRecord2 does not belong to the header item class, as ame_api requires.
    ORA-06512: at "APPS.POR_AME_APPROVAL_LIST", line 485
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    Is it the correct way to define rules ?
    Is it possible to create a Header level attribute to calculate the line total or check for req total and add an approver looking at the line level req totals ?
    Please suggest if any body implemented Line level approval for requisition using AME ?
    If this is not the correct forum please inform which forum should i post the thread.
