Vanilla PO or Requisition Approval

Hi,
11.5.9 E-Business PO, but not i-proc...
Is there any inbuilt functionality to facilitate PO or Requisition approval, along the lines of
A. creates orders / requisition
B. - Is 'sent' orders to approve
And yes, I know there is standard query the req / po back and approve, I just wanted to know if the standard PO Workflow, without customisation, carried this functionality.
thanks for your input,
Robert.

Your question is not clear.
UserA creates a PO.
Then he submits for approval.
UserB gets the notification to approve.
Is that what you are looking for?
This is seeded functionality. You will have to either use the position hierarchy or the employee-supervisor hierarchy.
Hope this helps

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.

Pranitha

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,
abbas

E-Recruiting 3. 0 Requisition Approval

Hi
The requisition approval worflow is not triggered. Does anyone have any guidelines in terms of triggering this workflow?
The worflow is activated and required config done.
Please assist.
Tx.

Hi Bongisa,
May be you can check up whether the Event and Workflow template Linkage is maintained using the transaction SWE2.
In case if it is not maintained, may be you can add the Triggering event in the Header data of the workflow template.
And also you can check if the Event is triggered using the Event Trace "SWEL"
You can switch on and off the Event Trace by using SWELS.
Hope this helps.

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.

How to hide REASSIGN Button for PO Requisition Approval Notification only

Hello,
I have a requirement in which I have to HIDE the REASSIGN button from the PO Requisition Approval Notification page. I realized that this page(NotifDetailsPG.xml) is being used by Sourcing Module too for sending the Approval Notifications. So I cannot directly set the Rendered Property to False for this as this would hide the REASSIGN button in Sourcing Approval Notification too.
So, how do I hide the REASSIGN button from the Notification page only if the Page is being used as PO Requisition Approval Notification? Can I use SPEL command in this case? Can somebody help me with this issue?
Thanks
Sunny

Hi Srini,
Thanks for the Immediate Response, I reviwed the Maetalink Note which you suggested, it was stated as:
Starting from ATG_PG.H.Rollup 4, an enhancement has been made to the Notification Details screen.
When the user viewing the notification has been granted the Workflow Administrator privilege (through the WF_ADMIN_ROLE preference), then the Reassign button will always be visible, even when the message attribute #HIDE_REASSIGN is set to Y.
This allows Administrators to reassign any notification when necessary in exception cases.
But in my case, the user do not have the Workflow Administrator privilege. He was not assigned with any workflow Admin Resps. Is there anything I am missing to check the WF_ADMIN_ROLE preference for a particular user?

Sridhar

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'

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

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 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)

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.
