Vacation Rules for PO Approval

Hi,
We are using Position Hierarchy where an employee1 with limits over 1 million(USD) goes on vacation and he is delegating his authority to another employee2 who has limit of 50,000USD.
Now, if the PO is raised above 50,000 USD it would go to employee1 but he has Delegated his Response to employee2. Also the employee2 is not a part of that Approval Path. In this case, the PO goes to employee2 for Approval and is returned to the Buyer as No Approver Found.
This is because the employee2 is not a Part of that Hierarchy.
But even if we add him into the Hierarchy, the PO ciruclates within employee1 & employee2.
Is there anyway in Oracle where the employee Who is Delegating his response to another employee and the delegated employee should also be given the same position & Approval limits of the earlier one?
Thanks
Dinesh

You need to setup appropriate hierarchy for the employee2 and run the "Fill Employee Hiererchy" program.
There is no automated way to update the position and approval limits based on vacation rule setup.

    any report to check vacation rule for users?

    Hello Anand,
    there is no report but you may use the production order info system with list "components" and create a layout contaning the issued quantity and/or the final issue indicator. With a correct sorting, the list should show all orders with non-issued components at the top.

  • Assign vacation rules to   group

    hi,

    thanks
    yesukannan

    Thanks a lot bobb for reply!
    With user you mean "login user" or "contact"? If i use login user as group i loose license :)
    Why i want to assign to group (eg SYSTEMS) is that group members should get notification email and one of group member need to
    pick up SR#. Also all other users must see SR# assigned to group even if they are not member of this group.
    Thanks,

  • Vacation Rule works for ALL but not for particular notification in Item typ

    Hi,
    I have a situation where Vacation Rule is Ignored when choose the select option in notification page of vacation rule and notifications were being sent to Original Approver (who created the vacation Rule) instead of delegate.
    Vacation rule is working perfectly when choose the notification as ALL but is not working when given a particular message(Timecard Approved,Approve Requisition).
    Below is some example of this inconsistent behavior:
    1. Selected Item type as OTL Workflows for Employees, For this Item Type there are 3 Notifications as
    TIMECARD_APPROVED,ERROR_MESSAGE,TIMECARD_APPROVAL_INLINE in select opition.
    If i select the TIMECARD_APPROVAL_INLINE notifications are going to delegate, and for TIMECARD_APPROVED not going to delegate.
    2. Selected PO Approval, It contains only one Notification(PO_PO_APPROVE). So it is working fine.
    3 Selected PO Requisition Approval,it contains the 4 notifications.
    PO_REQ_APPROVE_SIMPLE_JRAD, PO_REQ_APPROVE,PO_REQ_INVALID_FORWARD,PO_REQ_NO_APPROVER.
    If i select the PO_REQ_APPROVE_SIMPLE_JRAD notifications are going to delegate, and for PO_REQ_APPROVE not going to delegate.
    Any inputs on this.

    Hi,
    on problem I spot is that all your components created by the forEach loop have the same ID value. I suggest you change the ID to e.g. id="soc_#{item.index}" for zhe select one choices. In addition, I don't see where you refresh components after the change

  • Setting up vacation rules from Mass Timecard Approval Responsibilty.

    Our users are using the Mass Timecard Approval for Oracle OTL to approve timecards. This does not however seem to have a link to set up vacation rules. It seems they can only do this from their workflow homepage however we don't want to have to re-assign everyone a different responsibility.
    I tried just adding the workflow function to the Mass Timecard Approval menu however when I tried to access it says not available from this responsibility (or something similar) - I think this is because it is a self service responsibility.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Are you using OTL Approval Formulas?
    If not, you can shift to this style.
    In your OTL Approval Formula, you can check, if person has any vacation rule set, if so you can redirect approval notification based on the rule set.

  • How to know whether a vacation rule is set for a user

    Hi,
    How to know whether a vacation rule is set for a user or not in the BPM process. Can anyone help me in this.
    Thanks,

    In Linux a user has to have read permission on a file to even see that it exists. As a result, if a user (or a group to which they belong) doesn't have read access to the file File.exists() will return false. Windows which doesn't have as tightly controlled access to files will admit that a file exists whether it can be read or not.
    PS.
    This is proof that I should never answer a question off the top of my head when I haven't had my red bull yet. This is wrong. You will be able to see it if you have read and execute on the directory.

  • Not getting agent for standard rule in leave approval

I have assigned user name for this Pers.admin in both SPRO and in HR ORG management. I tried to assign SAP organisational objects to one of the Organisation Management objects in t-code PFOM, But it gives dump error.
    do i need to do any other step previously to this?

    hi,
      In PFAC, I am not getting search help values. So, I entered the values Administrator group and administrator in the fields. But, It gives no agent found.Actually I have set up administrator in SPRO and after that i checked in PFAC. I have also done assignments between Organisational Object type and Organisational Management Objects.But no use.
    Then i have created custom rule based on T256 table. In PFAC it is working fine. But, in workflow for a personnel i have assigned a administrator and created leave request. The corresponding workitem getting triggered. But, when i change the admin in PA30 and creating Leave request it gives error as:

  • Approvals performed through Vacation Rules

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to build a query report to show same data as PO Action History does but need to add or show user name that had performed any approval as a delegated of main approval user. Which table or view has these data?
    Thank you for your help
    Regards,

    Hi Sudhakar,
    It's a application standard functionality. You need to enable the worklist personalization. Do the following steps to enable the worklist.
    1. Log in to the application.
    2. Click on the Personalization link( before this you need to enable the 1. Personalize Self Service Definition – Yes 2. FND: Personalization Region Link – Yes profile options for your user).
    3. Click on the Complete view and then Expand all then search for the "Row Layout: Home Content Row" and click on the personalization torch.
    4. Make this rendered at the site level and click apply.
    5. Navigate back to the application, now you can view the Worklist in the application.
    I hope this will help you to enable the Worlist access and vacation rules.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Joshna.

  • Why the PO action history is not updating when i perform the vacation rules

    Hi,
    Can any one explain why the action history is not updating when performed the vacation rules using the below example
    Example: A >B>C>D are in the approval hierarchy here I have defined the vacation rules by login to the user C here I selected the item type as “All” and delegated to D.
    Now the buyer “A” has sent the document for approval. The user “B” can successfully reserve funds and approved the document. Now the document is automatically delegated to D. Here D can open the document from open notifications and approved the document. Now when I checked the Action history here I cannot find the performed name D who has actually approved the document.
    Note:we are using the 11.5.10.2 version.
    The Action History in the following manner
    Seq Action Performed By
    ================================
    4 Approve C
    3 Forward B
    2 Reserved B
    1 Forward A
    0 Submit A
    From the above action history why the user D name is not showing. Can any one let me know ASAP?
    Regards,
    Keivn.
    Edited by: user10960960 on May 5, 2009 3:36 AM

    When you set up the vacation rule, if you simply delegate the ownership to D, then C retains the ownership and the approval occurs with C's limits. And hence D is treated as the approver.
    If you transfer the ownership, then C is out of the picture. The notification goes to D and when he/she approves, D's limits kick in and he will be seen as approver.
    Hope this helps,

  • Webmail Vacation Rule - Mass spam

    We have seen this issue several times now if one of our users enables an existing vacation rule (created in the client) in webmail it will go through and send an email to several (if not hundreds/thousands) of people they have corresponded with within the last month or so. These are not new conversations that are coming in. I can't pinpoint exactly how far back it goes. When we get notified we go in and remove the rule in web access and retract at least all of the internal emails that have gone out. Has anyone else seen this issue before? Is there a way to disable enabling rules in webmail till this gets addressed? Seems if they enable the rule in the client it works properly.
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Hi Nathan,
    Unfortunately this has been reported before. I believe, but stand to be corrected, this happens when the customer clicks on the "Run" button. I'm not sure if there is a fix for this, but it might be worth contacting Novell Technical Support.
    Let us know how it goes.
    Cheers,
