How to display table with multiple rows in a workflow notification along with additional text

Prerequisites:
1) Create Item Type
2) Create Process
3) Create Notification
4) Create message



Step1- Create an Attribute of type document. Give value as constant "plsqlclob:XX_DEMO.getclobdocument/&ITEM_KEY"

2) Copy this attribute and paste it under message created.

3) Click on the message and go to body tab.Give subject and body here.In Body include document type attribute you have created above.

4)  Now we have to write a procedure which will create table with multiple rows data along with additional text.

How to make comments field mandatory for an approver in workflow notification

1) open workflow builder tool and connect to data base.

2) search for "standard" workflow

3) drag this to left hand side as below and click ok.

4)Right click on standard and click on new then Item type

5) give name and description And save

6)right click on process and New process. give details and save.

7) right click on attribute and new attribute. give details and save.

8) right click on message and new message. give all details and save.

9) go to result tab of the above window. select this details and save.

10) after creating message.Add comments attribute from attribute and paste it in the message and select attribute as respond type.

11) click on notification and new notification. give details and save.in this window select function as pl sql package and procedure name where we will write logic to make comments field mandatory.

12) Click on process, it will open blank window like below

13) copy start and end function from standard workflow and paste it under custom workflow function section.

drag both function to the process window

14) drag notification also in this window and connect these icons with each other as below and apply:

15) click on start activity and go to node tab. select value as start from drop down as below:

16)  click on End activity and go to node tab. select value as end from drop down as below and Apply:

17) now workflow builder part is finished. Now we will see pl/sql part. first create sequence named as XX_SEQ in the data base which will be used to store item key value. This is the code below

How to Enable AME for GL Journal Approval

Prerequisites for doing AME setup
1) Person should have "Approval management Business Analyst" responsibility and "Approval management Administrator" responsibility  attached.
2) All roles for Approval management should be added to user login by using "user management" responsibility.
3) Grant Access has been given for AME.

Front End Setup steps in GL Module

Step1 : Enable journal Approval in ASM

Go to General Ledger Super User -> Setup -> Financials -> Accounting Setup Manager -> Accounting Setups

 Here search for ledger you want to enable AME for and click on Go button.

Click on Update Accounting Options:

In primary Ledger Section, Click on update in first row i.e. Ireland USD.

Now in left hand section, Click on Ledger options, you will be taken to the below screen:

Now in "Journal processing " Section , select the check box "Enable Journal Approval". Click on next, next and finish.

 Step2 : Enable require journal Approval in Journal Source

Go to General Ledger Super User -> Setup -> Journal -> Sources

 

 

 

Now query for the source for which you want to enable AME. and select the check box of "Require Journal Approval" and save the details.

 

 

 

 Step3: Set the required profile options:

Mandatory:

GL: Use Approval Management (AME) for journal approval  -  "Yes"
Journals: Allow Preparer Approval                                           -  "Yes"

 

Optional:

Journals: Find Approver Method                                            - "Go Direct"
GL: Number of journal lines to display in AME journal approval notification - "10"

 

 

Step4 : AME SETUP Steps

1) Create the Attribute as per your business requirement

2) Create the conditions based on attributes

3) Create Approver Group either static or dynamic based on your requirement

4) Use Existing Action type as "Approval group of chain authority".

5) Create an AME rule by using condition and approver group created.

 

Test the AME setup if done properly or not by using test workbench by providing Transaction id .Once journal Entry is created, data goes into GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE_LINES table. JE_BATCH_ID value is used as a TRANSACTION_ID in AME.

 

To create Journal Entry go to general Ledger Super User-> Journals -> Enter

 

 

 

When you save these details , below Approve button will get enabled. Once you press Approve button, it will send notification to Approver.

 

 

I hope this article will be useful for you people. Please let me know if you have any questions on the same. post your queries in comments section, will respond you.

 

 

 

 

Create Grant Access for Transaction Types to User

1. Login to Oracle Application. Go to Function Administrator Responsibility and Under the security tab, click on Grant link. You will be taken to the below screen. Enter the fields as shown and click on next button

2.  Keep Data context as all rows and click on next.

3. Here Select  set as "AME Calling Applications". And click next button.

4. You will see the review page, check all the details here. If all fine click on Finish.

By this way you can create grant access to User for AME Transaction Types.
