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

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'

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.

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. "

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.

Approval List

Hi
I have a problem with an approval list in PO (requisition). I cant figure out why one person in the hierarchy is not allowed to approve the requisition. When he presses approve the approval mail goes one step up in the hierarchy (and that is to the CIO). As far as I know he has the right conditions set.
Is there a sql statement that you can run to see the result? What WF function is used?
Where is the timeout set for approval set? What happens if one approver does not answer within time?
/Karin

Check the workflow monitor to see where it is stuck and run some diagnostic tests for approval authority. You should be able to search for the script on metalink

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
Davide

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.

IProcurement Error : Approval List Incomplete

Hi please check approval hierarchy. person who is creating the requisition that person have correct hierarcby.
For testing purpose, you give full amount access and check self approval.

Is it possible to reassign a requisition approver?

Is it possible to reassign a requisition approver?
We have a service that contains two approval tasks. The first task is statically assigned to the service desk. The second task is fired when the service desk identifies the approver and completes the first task. However, we have found many cases where the identified approver is incorrect due to outdated data and would like to find a solution allowing the service desk to update the secondary approver and reissue the approval task. Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks Ed. I'll open up a ticket for this enhancement. By the way, we have found that if a person is inactive in OSC and we then activate them, they do not show up when we search for them in ServiceManager to assign approvals to. We waited overnight in case it had to be refreshed, but still they do not show up. Any ideas on this?
I don't think it has to do with whether the approver is active or inactive because we put in a user that is set to inactive and it lists him when we do the search in S

Application on approved list won't open

I am running a lab using the Mac OX Server (Leopard) and have had several problems with applications being on the "approved list" but not allowing the user to open them. iPhoto is one of them and the newest is a free program called TextWrangler. Students are logging in to their own hard drive, using the applications that are on the computer. These programs work when logged in to the computer, but not the server. A message always pops up saying the program is not on the approved list to contact the person who set it up. Can anyone help, please?

Kimberly, there are a couple of things you can try.
In Workgroup Manager, in your group preferences, under 'Applications' where you're managing what apps they can use, you can try adding the applications in question as if they were folders.
So by this I mean, where you see the tabs Applications|Folders, select folders and where it says "Allow applications within these folders" click the plus icon and navigate to the application in question as if it were a folder.
An application is basically a folder (there are a bunch of files inside it) but it doesn't behave like one when you double click it (instead it launches).
Once you have saved your preferences it would be a good idea to delete the managed preferences on the client machine before testing again.
These are located /Library/Managed Preferences/
(note that that is the main "Library" folder at the root of the Macintosh HD not a users Library folder.)
You can delete the whole "Managed Preferences" folder.
This folder temporarily stores the settings that are being sent to the client by the server so that they don't have to be downloaded each time a user logs in, and you're deleting it to be sure your new settings are being downloaded.
I have personally found that I 'do' need to sign my applications under some circumstances. Where are you using WorkGroup Manager? Are you using it on the server or are you using it on one of the client machines? If you're using WGM on the server to add applications, have you checked that the versions of the applications on the server are the same as on the client? Have you tried logging in as admin to one of the client machines, and using Workgroup Manger, adding the application directly from the client machine?
Sorry for the overly long post.

E-Recruitment - Issue in Requisition Approval, flow to Recruiter

Hi All,
Im using standard WF 45600028 for requisition approval.
The request when created by Manager is going for approval to his supervisor and Supervisor in turn is able to approve the request, but the its not reaching recruiter.
When i verified Requisition monitor of the MSS view, then i see the request in "Draft" mode instead of "Released".
I feel this is the reason why recruiter is unable to see the requisition coming from Workflow.
Can someone help me change the status?
Thank you.
Pranitha

Hey Thanks Siddharth,
Anyways, my problem is resolved. What i mean on Recruiter's involvement is recieving the approved form so that he can take it up further for posting.
In My case Recruiter's dash board or UWL , nowhere is the data populated. So i was of the opinion that the approved requests are by default saving in draft mode and hence not reaching recruiter.
Finally, i reallized that there is a small refresh link, at the bottom of the dash board. I need to click on the each of the links in the dashboard and "Refresh" from the link at the bottom, then only my approved requests are showing up, that too under "My Application Groups, My Open Requisiotns and All requisitions".
Silly me !! I have wasted so much of my time debugging Workflow and changing all the possible config setting.
But i really wonder why cant the data base be updated when we refresh with F5 instead click on each of the links in dashboard inorder to see what has he got in his box. This seems little weird to me.
Regards,
Pranitha
