Requisition Approvals AME errors on Approval List Rebuild When an Employee

We're using AME for requisition approvals which contains several dynamic approver groups.
The problem is that the approval list can be large and depending on how long it takes the requisition to be approved a person who has already approved the requisition might be terminated in Oracle. The approval list rebuilds after each subsequent approval and errors at the point where the termed person falls in the list.
How can we work around this? Is there a way to get AME to NOT rebuild the list once the approval is in process? Or is there a way to have it not look at stages of the approval list where approval has already happened?
Thanks,
Suzanne

Hi All,
We have found out the Problem for the above issue.
The PREPARER_ID in the PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL table is coming as -1 which should not be. The user is linked to HR User and in FND_USER table we can see the employee id.
Can someone suggest on this if we have miss something.

Approval List Error when editing the charge account segments.

Hi All,
when i edit the charge account segments for purchase requisition approve through r12 iprocurement an error has occurred.
" An error has occurred in building your approver list. Please contact your system administrator. "
I think only it will occur when editing the segments occasionally but not consistently.
Because i tried for requisition second and third time with same account charge segments but there is no error occured.
Requisition completed for approve.
Please forward the suggested reply.
Thanks,
Praveen Kumar.

Does anyone have an answer to this question? I am having the same issue and applying patch 10102050 did not work.

Requisition approver list

I am customizing PO Requisition Approval workflow and modifying the Approval List Routing Using AME process. I am adding a node which kicks off a plsql process to update some custom tables.
The purpose of this customization is to get who last approved (the previous approver) the requisition and who is the next approver. The workflow item attribute APPROVER_EMPID is helpflul to know who the current approver. But I also need who was the previous approver. Any easier way to get this info or any oracle table ?
I tried FORWARD_FROM_ID which always has the emp id of the person who submitted the requistion, not the last approver. Any suggestions to get this info ?
Thanks
SP

If the requisition is already approved once, then you can take the approver name from the following query by joining with hr_employees/per_people_f
select employee_id from po_action_history where object_type_code = 'REQUISITION' and action_code = 'APPROVE'

You would need to spcify the JNDI path in a properties file or the like.

Customization to Add Approver to Requisition Approver List

Hi
We use a Position Hierarchy to determine the Approver List for a PO Requisition Approval
However we also use Project Costing, and would like to dynamically add the Project Managers into the Approver List for Requisition lines coded to their Projects.
Does anyone have any experience doing this ? Know of any Open API calls that will allow this?
I have been through the Workflow and have designed the Process flow changes required, but cannot find any documentation on "dynamically" adding an additional approver into the Approver List.
Thanks

I have completed work on this and it will require use of the Applications Framework to add in the appropriate user. You will need to work with the Controller for the page as well as the AM for some validation.
In short you need to complete Applications Framework customisations to get this information.

PO and Requisition approvals

In R12, if we set the purchasing system to use position hierarchy after defining all the jobs and positions.
Is it advisable to change back to the employee/supervisor relationships setup later just by unchecking the option in the financial options for that OU? Also does it apply the same to the vice versa too? System doesn't get corrupted right?

1. Make sure that the approval rules and assignments are done accordingly. For position hierarchy the position is used as for the association; for employee supervisor job is used as key for the association.
2. For PR approval, the approver list is generated when the requisition is submitted (unless you are using AME for requisition approval). But for PO the next approver is determined on the last approver's response. So the In Process PO Approvals will realize this change immediately; but the In Process PR approvals may have a lag (because of pre determined approval list). Please test the PR approvals once.

Document Contains Errors. Approval is not Possible.

I have a SC approval that errored out when coming back to SRM. We run RBBP_OFFLINE_EVAL program periodically throughout the day to pick up offline approvals from users. In the spool list, I see this message:
Document Contains Errors. Approval is not Possible. And the system gives me the WI ID, SC # and the object type BUS2121.
I've never seen such an error before. The document here...is it referring to the approval email itself? We instruct our users to not edit the approval email in any way. They just have to click on the approval link and click on Send in Outlook. I don't know if the document it's referring to is the SC or the approval email.
Can anyone help?
SN

Hi,
You are right. This error is the issue. To answer your other question why this message was not raised earlier;the problem could be that at the time of sc creation, there might be sufficient budget. But because your shopping cart was in approval for some time, it is possible that some more shopping carts have been raised with the same WBS and got approved. This would reduce the overall budget available. When the shopping cart is approved, one more check is done by the system and this time there was no sufficient budget.Hence the error is displayed. Only option for you now would be to ask FI people to increase budget or resubmit the cart by changing the value of the shopping cart.

AME Error while logging in Arabic Version

Hi
I am facing a peculiar issue in AME. I am logging into English version and raising a transaction in SSHR and it is showing some 6 approvers as per the rule defined.
But when the user logs in Arabic version, it is throwing some error as "Discovered error in Approval Management". I tried to investigate the issue by removing an approver from the list and then it started working in Arabic also. But I need to add and make this approver working in Arabic Version also.
The approver query is returning proper value and seems no issue with the query. Please let me know if come across this weird issue of Arabic login in contrast to perfect working in English version.
Thanks

Verify that.
You can also try to disable Personalization and try to login and see whether it works.
Cheers

Eprocurement Requisition upon "save and preview Approval"

Hi,
We have implemented eprocurement module 9.0 ver and found a strange problem.
After creating a requisition,while we click the button -"Save and preview Approvals" it shows the approval path.
If we happen to edit the requisition twice or thrice and again click the button-"Save and preview Approvals" its not showing the approval path.
would like to know:
1>if the changes to the requisition are saved ?
2>Why is there no approval path on clicking button--"Save and preview Approvals" after we edit a requisition more than twice ?
is it a delivered bug?
Thanks.

No problem Niesa. When you do get permission to post a screen image use the camera toolbar icon as indicated below. It is much quicker as the attachment method has to be moderated before we can see it.
Incidently we found that the only way around this was to rearrange the content inside the d-d.
