Hello Folks
We are on Oracle Apps R11.0.2 on NT. The modules installed are GL, AP,
AR, OE, INV, MRP, BOM, WIP, FA and PO.
We are encountering some following problems regarding po Approvals.
We are unable to approve the PO even when the Owner can approve is set
to yes.
Even after the apporval action is okay, the PO still remains on the PO
screen with status incomplete
The notification screen gives the message that Approvor cannot be
found, assign the correct approvor and forward the doucment
Can anybody give any suggestion to the following problems.
We are not using the workflow and are not customising the account
generator..
Thanks in Advance

Are you using hierarchies? If you are, be sure the owner has a dollar limit set. Also, make sure the approval flow process is set to forward the PO to the right person on the next step up.

I have expereinced this problem also. In our case the problems was
with the PO containing incorrect date. The warehouse in the shipments
alternative region was not pointing to a correct inventory org. Once
I deleted this line (because we could not change it, the field was
protected against update), we added a new line to the PO with the
correct org and our problem disappeared.
Hope this helps!

Couple tips;
Be sure to run the 'Fill employee process'
Scrutinize your approval groups. Make sure that all fields for the account
range are
Completely filled out including all ranges.
Try defining separate approval
group for all
Approvers.
Be sure to create all approvers as users.

Rel 11 uses Oracle Workflow for Approval of Documents. Login as sysadmin
and run concurrent request Workflow background Prcosess for approval of PO
and Requisitions using parameters (REQAPPRV, , , Y, Y,) and (POAPPRV, , ,
Y, Y) respectively.

Subject: Re: Approval of purchasing documents
We submitted the request Workflow background process twice using Requisition
approval & PO approval as the parameter.But it did not work.
Our profile option Workflow Process was set to Online before where the
status
of a requisition or Po used to remain incomplete nomatter how many times
they
were sent for approval. This time, first we changed the option to Background
after which the requisition & PO were sent for approval.Surprisingly, this
time
round, the status changed to In process.
After that, we submitted the Workflow Background request. On completion of
the
said request, the status of the requisition & the PO changed again to
Incomplete.
Any idea ???
Thanks for your help so far.

Hi afreen,
I am sure you must have completed your Purchasing Setup still I will
request you please check following:
Setup-Approvals-Approval Assigments

Pls let me know the approvals method you are using . Is this PO Approval
Heirarchy or Supervisor/manager relationship.
Check the person who is defined as buyer is having enough approval limits
i.e. he can approve on certain account and category you are using for that
PO.
You approval can fail on any of the following
Document total
Account range
category
item range
location
Please let me know if you are getting any message on Workflow

Also check Work flow status
Best of luck

Subject: RE: Approval of purchasing documents
As for purchase requisition, we had a similar problem on 11.0.1
The solution was adding "PO Requisition Approval" as an "Approval Workflow"
and as "Auto-create Workflow".
All this should be done in Purchasing == Set-up == Purchasing == Document
types.
We did not understand the setup requirements, but it seems that it solved
our problem.
You're welcome to try.

We are on release 11.02 and when I went to look for the current process of

The only current process that I see listed and running is PO Document

Hi Shay,
In this context, I want to put forward my confusion. In R11 (NT), for
Auto-create workflow in Requisition, we are using 'PO create documents' and
Ihaven't found 'PO requisition approval' in the LOV. Is there any error out
here? How it'll effect the functionong?
Thanks,
Jayanta.

I experienced a problem approving docs in 11.02 and was able to resolved as
follows . . . .
The problem was that I hadn't included an 'Account Range' approval rule
which is required (but not stated in the documentation). I added the
'Account Range' to three approval groups that I had already created. I then
created a new Standard PO and approved it. The process now worked fine.
If you haven't set on 'Account Range' in your approval rules, go ahead and
do so b/c it's mandatory. That should clear up your problems. Hope this
helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Web Requisition - closing

Subject: Web Req Closing
Hi ya'll!
Is there a way to close a web requisition when the PO quantity has been
revised to be less than the quantity on the requisition?
For example, the req is for a quantity of 4. The PO was submitted with a
quantity of 3. The items have been received and invoiced. The PO is
closed, but the requisition remains in Open Requisition lines. How can the
req be closed?
Thanks for any assistance.

From: "Rosy Virani" Rosy.Virani@CRHA-Health.Ab.Ca
Subject: 11.0.2 Purchasing
We have PO's with line type - service with 2-way match. PO status remains OPEN after PO's have been matched.
Receipt Required for these line types are set NO.
According to Oracle we still have to create receipts for these PO's even though Receipt Required for service
line type is set to no.
Once we go through process of receiving, it closes the PO.
Is there any other way to close these type of PO's, after it has been matched and eliminating process of
receiving?
Thanks

Subject: PO: Min_order_amount
There is a field min_order_amount in the table po_vendors. We can't find the
form/field from the front-end. WWS/Oracle development doesn't seem to know
either. Any purchasing guru's out there that know?
P.S. I have a bet with an Oracle consultant that I can come up with the
answer before he can!!

Subject: RE: Min_order_amount
Ellen:
I believe this comes from a setting when a Blanket Purchase Order is
created...when a Buyer in Purchasing creates a Blanket Order to go to a
Supplier, they can enter in a value of the minimum dollar amount which must
be purchased when a Release against that Blanket Purchase Order is
created....
That would be my first and best guess....I don't recall a field in the
Supplier form which specifies a minimum order amount...and I just looked for
one and can't find it...
I still go with the Blanket PO field of the minimum order amount in the
Purchase Order form.
Let me know how you make out...I'd like to be sure myself...
The only other thing I can think of is in the Item Attributes...in the
General Planning region there are field which relate to minimum and
maximums, but they should relate to quantity as opposed to amounts.
Hope this helps...and please respond on the final answer...I'll try to do a
little more research myself for you..

Minimum Release Amount (Optional) EDIT HELP
Enter the minimum release amount that you want Oracle Purchasing to default
on your blanket, contract, and planned purchase orders. This amount is in
your functional currency.
Control Options
Use the Control Options region to define control options, such as
the receipt close point and minimum release amount.
Its in the Terms and Conditions of the PO header.
That's the answer

Dawn, thanks for your response but I don't have a final answer. I have
gotten a couple of responses that guessed the same as you, and one that said
"It looks like this is forgotten functionality." The table that I am trying
to find the entry value for is po_vendors, not the purchasing transaction
tables...my best guess is that it used to be in an old version (wonder if
there are any 9.4.2 gurus out there?), but I can't get a definitive answer.
Let me know if you come up with anything and I will do the same.

Well back to work on Monday morning ...
(I don't like Mondays (Tell me why?))
I just checked and it is indeed in 9.4 PO in Enter Vendors screen at
the Purchasing Options. The column is still in 10.7 but grepping
through all the (GUI) FMB and FMX files fails to turn up any reference
to this field.
Grepping through the 10.7 CHAR mode INP files, I find in the
POXVDINQ form the following comment:
"Took out Min_Order_Amount field as it is no longer required."
POXVDINQ.inp

I would guess that the minimum order quantity is now controlled at the
