Workflow notifications in invoice approval workflow

Hi All,
We have a requirement in invoice approval workflow while it sends notifications.
The current workflow is sending notifications to an approver when he has a record both in HR and FND and linked to each other.
But the requirement is WF has to send notification to the approver who will have an employee record only.
If anyone has worked on this requirement earlier please let us know how to achieve this.
Thanks,
MJ

WF Notifications are based on roles, you have to modify the role selection portion to handle the case you mention. Likely this is oracle standard code so you might be careful and look for a workaround i.e. duplicate the activity and customize that one.

Adding information in email notification of invoice approval workflow

Hi All,
We have a requirement to include additional information in the email notification sent by the workflow to the approver, like
1) Having Invoice Currency Code and PO Number in the header of the notification
2) Adding static text on the body.
3) Also need to add a sentence in the standard text which comes at the bottom of the notification and need to remove the extra RESULT region which is coming in the notification. (Highlighted in bold)
Please click on one of the following choices to automatically generate an E-mail response. Before sending the E-mail response to close this notification, ensure you have provided the reason for rejection within the quotes ‘ ‘ in the body of the email.
RESULT (needs to be removed)
RESULT: Approve Reject Request Information
Any pointers on this would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Manoj

Change Distribution in a active AP Invoice Approval workflow notification.

Hi Experts,
My client is using oracle 11i, we are in the process of configuring the oracle payable invoice approval workflow using AME.
We have a requirement where in the person who receives the workflow notifications should be able to modify the distribution in the invoice.
The approver may not have the Oracle Payable responsibility.
Is it possible? If yes then how?
Regards,
Vishvesh

Hi,
Using the Sysadmin responsibility, please submit "Workflow Background Process" with the below parameters and see if it helps:
Process Deferred: Y
Process Timeout: Y

Customizing AP Invoice Approval Workflow Notification Page

Hi
I am trying to customize the AP Invoice Approval Workflow APINVAPR on 12.0.6.
The requirement is to show attachments to the invoice in the notifications screen which is an OA Framework based screen.
In the Notification message, there was an existing attribute #ATTACHMENTS that was pointing to INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS attribute.
I have added the code to set the attribute for the INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS in the package ap_workflow_pkg
wf_engine.setitemattrtext(itemtype => itemtype,
itemkey => itemkey,
ANAME => 'INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS',
avalue => 'plsqlblob:xx_ap_appr_wf_pkg.xx_notif_attach_procedure/' || to_char(l_doc_id)
But the attachments are still not showing up.
What else do I need to do to make the attachments show up.
The notification shows up in a OA Framework page /oracle/apps/ap/invoice/request/negotiation/webui/NotifPGRN&INVOICEID=-&INVOICE_ID-
Thanks

by running the concurrent program ‘ HC Secondary Invoice Approval Workflow ‘ which trigger
The Secondary Invoice Approval workflow .
What happens when workflow is triggered;
Workflow will start for any invoice that has a secondary approval hold applied and does not have a workflow already in progress..
If all the lines of an invoice are approved then the secondary approval hold on the invoice is released by the workflow..
So this is the processs..
Minimum requirement for the workflow to run is
Any Invoice with a secondary approval hold on it…….

item_activity_statusses but I cant find in the wf_notifications
please help me out thanks
sesh..

Hello Akkshaya,

R11:RECEIVED ERROR MESSAGES FOR AP INVOICE APPROVAL IN ORACLE WORKFLOW

Hi All,
We have this error:
### Detailed Problem Statement ###
Received the following error messages in sysadmin notifications:
Event Error Name: 100
Event Error Message: ORA-01403: no data found
Event Error Stack: HZ_DQM_SYNC>REALTIME_SYNCH(oracle.apps.ar.hz.DQM.realtimesync,
30665979B704AE043C0A81404B04A)
Event Error Name: WFE_DISPATCH_RULE_ERR
Event Error Message: [WFE_DISPATCH_RULE_ERR] ENAME=oracle.apps.ap.payment EKEY=10001
RULE=ap_payment_event_wf_pfg.rule_function SQLCODE=100 SQLERRM=ORA-01403: no
data found
Event Error Stack: WF_Event.dispatch_internal()
In addition, during the set-up of Oracle Approvals Management, there was no available list of
values in the Notification Style in the workflow configurator page.
Action Plan
=======
1) Confirm if the workflow is customized in any way.
2) Confirm whether you are able to select global preferences for the other invoices approval, meaning are you
getting the list of values for the other invoices.
There are no workflow customizations. We are trying to implement it to AP invoice
approval only.
Can you instruct me on how to test this one? I thought I could only select the global preferences from the workflow configuration window. And there are no distinction as to which invoice approval
process it is applicable. Where could I select the global preferences for other
invoices approval?
Thanks a lot

thanks hussein , but still we can not see LOV values even if we inserted data manually...:(
But it has improved and we moved on to another error which is:
*****received the error message:3120: Activity 'APINV/52822' has no performer
### Problem description or inquiry details ###
Received the following error message:
Error Message
3120: Activity 'APINV/52822' has no performer.
Error Stack
Wf_Engine_Util.Notification_Send(APINV, 115191_1, 52822, APINV:APINV_MRA) Wf_Engine_Util.Notification(APINV, 115191_1, 52822, RUN)
Encountered the following:
No list of values in the notification style field in the global configuration region in the Workflow Configuration Page
Please note that we could not update the workflow configuration page using the forms because there
is no list of values to select in the above-mentioned field. We just recently
changed the workflow administrator role from SYSADMIN to KCAALIM to reduce
changing of user log-in. We have previously used the sysadmin user log-in to
access the workflow configuration page. there was still no list of values for
the notification style. we changed the wf admin role to kcaalim using the sql:
udpate wf_resources set text = 'KCAALIM' where name like 'WF_ADMIN_ROLE';
Commit;
Hence, changing of wf admin role and user log-in (to sysadmin) won't help (just in case you would advise me to do so) since we tried it
already.
### Responsibility and navigational paths to reproduce ###
1. set-up the AME for ap invoice approval.
2. test an actual transaction.
3. when the list is generated, set-up workflow for AP approval.
when setting up the configuration page, there is no list of values available for the notification style. hence the workflow
configuration could not be updated.
4. Run the required programs (i.e., synchronizations)
5. run the approval workflow from the developer studio page.
6. review the status from the Status Monitor page.
7. The error message appears
8. payables, create a sample invoice.
9. validate and initiate approval.
10. review the approval history to find out the required approver. (the approver's name appears with 0 amount of approval)
11. check the notifications in the required approver's worklist.
12. there are no notifications sent.
Text continued in next action...

Thanks again...

Unable to send emails on APPRV - AP Invoice Approval workflow. r12

Hi,
This is on r12.1.3. The Invoice approval workflow is not sending notification emails. We have tried all we could but email notifications are simply not going out.
Steps executed.
1. Make sure email addresses are valid
2. Make sure all email preferences are set to receive emails
3. WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT was cleared and rebuilt two times
4. Ran WFSTAT.sql for complete diagnostics but shows nothing.
5. Workflow log file shows nothing suspicious.Despite of all this we are not able to receive emails. We need to send notification emails when an Invoice in AP is in "Initiated Approval" state. The strange thing is that this issue is only with payable invoice approval workflow. All other workflows are receiving emails just fine.
Please advise.
D

Oracle AP Invoice Approval Workflow

WorkFlow Gurus,
I create an AP invoice and add attachment to it and initiate approvals.
The Invoice Requester's manager logs into Oracle and can see the Invoice Approval Notification (in Worklist) and can also see the attachment.
But the same manager also receives an email for the same Invoice Approval but in email he can't see the attachment or any link to point to the attachment.
Can you please suggest what can be done to see attachments in email for invoice approval workflow?
Please help here!
Thanks

If you have some idea, can you point me to what exactly could be causing this issue. Is this the problem with emailing message preparation part or email sending part or something else that could be causing this. Sorry, I have no idea -- It might be reported in the bug.
Another questions that comes to my mind, does attachment work with other workflows like iProcurement / PO / HR etc.....that is, is this a problem with just AP Invoice Approval or other oracle workflows have the same issue.
One point brought out by one of fucn folks was, because invoice images could be of several pages that is why oracle don't want to send those in emails.Please log a SR for this.
Thanks,
Hussein

Invoice approval workflow - where to start?

Hi,
I would like to use invoice approval workflow to approve invoices that are not matched to POs. I am not sure where I can start and I would appreciate if somebody points me in right direction.
I already know that I should set options to enable invoice approval, but where can I set something to approve automatically matched invoices and leave manually distributed not approved. Also where can I set approval powers (are these the same approval info tables that for PO?) and where can I set up workflow for this?
Regards
Piotr

So it looks nobody answers my question, anyway I went through this myself and I am trying to set up AME. I stuck with Transaction Types. When I try to create one called Payables Invoice Approval I got error message it already exist, but when I am trying to find it, it does not give me any results. I added Transaction Types in Functional Admin, but still no luck. I believe this also might be a wrong place for this question, so if somebody transfer my post to right forum or answer it here, I would be really happy.

Invoice Approval Workflow Setup in EBS R12

Is there an easy way to tie the invoice approval process into the approval groups and rules that are already set up for the PO or Requisition Approval Process (Purchasing Approval Hierarchy)? I'd like to keep the maintenance all in one place rather than recreating all the rules in AME.
EBS 12.1.3

Hi,
Since it is a standard WF one cannot modify it.
If we modify the standard workflow theres a chance of our changes getting erased when a patch is applied to the instance.
One can create completey create a custom workflow and make it perform all the tasks performed by seeded workflow.
Thanks,
Vinod
