1.What are the approval hierarchy
ReplyDeleteAns:- There are 2 approval hierarchy's in 11i
1. Position hierarchy
2.Employee supervisor hierarchy
But there are new hierarchy that was implemented in R12 that is nothing but
AME:- Application Management Engine... This hierarchy is used only for requisition approval.
What approval hierarchy you use in your implementation?
ReplyDeleteAns:- Mostly in most of the Organization... Position hierarchy is used.
3.How to send the PO to a person before even approval who has that approval limit not through workflow hierarchy?
ReplyDeleteAns:- See basically the PO which is created by the buyer will be sent for approval... the PO will be following the hierarchy which is set In position hierarchy...
Now consider a PO which is having a limit of 10,000, and there are 2 position for in hierarchy names A1 and A2.... A1 is having a limit of 5000 and A2 is having a limit of 10,000... Now as per the question the PO should directly route to A2 as he is having a limit of 10000... basically in documents type setup there is an option called follow "Hirarchy" and "Direct".... If we select the option as hierarchy then the PO will go to A1 and then to A2 and A2 will approve.... And if you select "Direct" then the PO will directly route to the person who is having that limit which is nothing but A2.. So the answer for the above question is THERE IS A SETUP IN DOCUMENT TYPES FOLLOW "DIRECT".
Where to do the setup for specific approval limit for a person?
ReplyDeleteAns:- First in order to create a position hierarchy.... we need to create an employee and make sure that.. the employee is having job and position once the job and position is created we will attach this job and position to that employee.. So now the employee is having a job and a position and now assigning him to the organization... Now the employee is having a job position and assigned to the organization... Now in approval groups we will set up the limit of the position with keeping as "DOCUMENT TOTAL"....
