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.

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.

Hi Uds,
are you running SOA Suite on a Linux server and not on your PC and just running JDeveloper on your PC?
If so try creating the repository file specifying a directory on the Linux server.
For example to:
/tmp/sample_repository
So Choose 'File' from drop down menu
Enter /tmp/sample_repository
Click on create button
This should create the file called sample_repository in /tmp on the Linux server.
Can you tell us what your environment is?

Authorization on Manage Substituion Rules

Hi Experts,
On MSS under Manage Substitution Rules, manager can assign his one or all tasks to another employee who can do tasks on his behalf.
Does the person who gets one or all tasks, need to have authorization in back end prior to that or it inherits when he gets assignment ?
Would appreciate prompt response.
Cheers,
Aashish

Yes, they need authorizations. No, they aren't just magically copied over when substitution is set. Substitution allows another user to have access to all of the work items (via UWL for example) for the manager. When exectuing those work items, the "substitute" will need the authorization to perform those tasks.

Substituion rules from UWL - nor working

Hi experts,
i have the following scenario:
employee 1 send his/her leave request to his/her manager (manager 1 lets say).
now that one is out of office (doesn't matter for what reasons) but has made a substitution rule "Fill in for ME" to another manager (manager 2 let's say).
Both receive the workitem and in theory manager 2 should be able to procces it. But in my case, manager 2 can see the workitem but after he clicks on it in order to process it the LeaveRequestApprover application is displaying the table empty. No leave request...
So i'm not sure what could be wrong...
Could be limitations coming from OM structure?
Any hints are more then welcome!
thanks in advance,
eugen

Hi,
By default the router is not filtering traffic from LAN to WAN.
The issue you are facing will need further investigation of the configuration of the router. Capture traffic can also help understanding what is happening. I would advise you to contact the technical support, so an engineer can have a look at it.

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.

at Call point 6 this can be possible

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.

Substitution rule for Business place and section code

Hello Friends,
We have a business place and a section code. I want to write a substituion rule for vendor invoice for business place and section code.
When i see in header, i am not find BUPLA and SECCO in header. I am finding them in line item. How do i get these fields in header segment. I tried substution rule in line item, but the tds is not deducted.
Thanks
SK

hi SK,
i am not understand your problem. Previously i face one problem regarding business place and section code. While booking invoices and advance payments the user forgets to specify business place or section code and some times he specifys wrong business place also. Basing on business place or section code we cant restrict the users because there is no authorisation object.
i created one validation that if my business area is 1000. then substitute the business place field with section code.
we have business place individual business area wise so i created this substitution.

Sankar
