Not able to see which user skipped assignment of approving the requisition

Issue Description:-

If approver skips the assignment of approving the requisition by selecting 'Skip current assignment.The tree is reloaded and that approver name does not reflect in the tree.

The initiator can not know who among the approvers skipped the assignment.


Solution
When an approver skips taking action (approve/reject) on the task, action history would not display the approver's name. If approvers should not be skipping the action, it can be disabled in BPM > Task Configuration > Access. Expand Action and find the row corresponding to 'Skip Current Assignment' (see attached), you can uncheck all or just have the action allowed only for the 'admin' user.

Duplicate Supplier Checks Functionality

Functionality -

When we create a new supplier, if the name matches to that of an existing supplier, the match percentage along with the existing records are displayed. Even after completing the required setups, we are not able to see the matches.


1. You should find the TOI presented in the link below useful. In addition the online help should have details under the help topic Enabling Supplier Match: Explained

http://download.oracle.com/ocomdocs/global/fusion_r9/prc/Supplier_Data_Quality_Management/index.html

Supplier match feature leverages Fusion Enterprise Data Quality (EDQ) which provides data quality services for Fusion Cloud applications. The duplicate supplier match feature is available to Fusion Cloud customers only, and is not supported for customers deploying Fusion Supplier Model on premise. We are a Fusion Cloud customer.

I reviewed Fusion documentation on how to configure the supplier match feature and I think there might be one of the many cases where the documentation is missing key information. Do you think that there is a process that needs to run after completing step 2? Note that I executed step 3 in a different browser.

Step 1: Configure party relationships for supplier match. See screenshot 1 in attachment.

Step 2: Manage data quality server configurations. I enabled the EDQ Realtime and Batch Basic Match fields. See screenshot 2.

Step 3: Manage enterprise data quality matching configurations. I performed a test of the configuration and exercise the EDQ matching engine. No results were returned. See screenshots 3, 4, 5 and 6.

For example, there is already a supplier created for 'Midtown Computer Supplies'. I performed a test of the configuration by entering 'Midtown' in the PartyName field and exercised the EDQ matching engine. No results were returned. I then tried 'Midtown Computer' and 'Midtown Computer Supplies' and still no results were found.

Then I tried another route. I navigated to the Register Supplier page and called the new supplier 'Midtown' and then 'Midtown Computer' but did not receive a supplier match warning message. Only when I enter 'Midtown Computer Supplies' is when an error message displays indicating a duplicate supplier exists. That said, I think the error message is separate from the supplier match feature. It is the same type of error message you receive when you enter a duplicate tax id.


If you will not find the task name then use Manage servers Task Name and do rebuild Index.

Search All requisitions created by all users

1. Login to APM (you can get to it through "Manage Duties" task in fusion application)

2. In the Search dialog, choose "External Roles" next to "For" and search for Job Role 'Advanced Procurement Requester'

3. Select Job Role from search result, and choose View.

Supervisior Hierarchy with No value at the some approval level

We are having customer, need your insight to fulfill his requirement -

Customer using the approved UI when creating approval rules.

He is building a Requisition approval rules based on a Supervisor Hierarchy, and He need to use the "Requester Level 4 Supersior" field in order to match the client's logic.
The issue is that, not all of the future requesters have a Level 4 Supervisor, so the the entire approval structure fails when ever a requester without a level 4 supervisor is trying to submit a requisition, since the system cannot compare "IS IN" or "IS NOT IN" values to NULL.

So the question is: is it possible to use SQL functions (like NVL) within the approval rules in order to prevent an error?
For example: NVL("Requester Level 4 Supersion",1) IS IN ('John', 'Tom', 'Jason').

Could you please help us to capture this requirement.

Answere -
In order to avoid the error, can they add a 'is not blank' condition in the approval rule and re-try the same use case ?

The "is not blank" condition must come before the "equals" condition.

e.g Requisition Amount Equals 80 and Requester Level 4 Supervisor Is not blank and Requester Level 4 Supervisor Equals LastName,FirstName

How to override the charge of account at requisition to enter it manually

Approve is able to change the charge account however it does not get saved even after clicking save or submit button for Requisition Approval.

Customer is using default charge account rule but only natural account segment they have used the mapping set.

Answer - 

Based on your current set-up, the behavior of the system is

1) Derive a complete charge account (either automatically or from what user has entered depending on the configuration of your charge account rule)
2) Override the Natural Segment of the account derived from step 1.

This means - the Natural Account segment of the charge account entered by the Approver will be overwritten. To prevent this, you need to add the following condition to your mapping set rule (i.e. the segment overlay rule) - "Requisition Charge Account"."Natural Account Segment" Is not.

How it works - 
The above condition is saying - only trigger the rule inside the segment overlay rule(i.e. the mapping set) if there is no manually entered value for the Natural Account Segment. This means if user has manually entered a charge account, the rule will not be triggered and user's entry will not be overwritten.

When a user manually enters a charge account, the source for such manual entry is known as 'Requisition Charge Account'

Case 2 
Hi Team,
Currently customer implementing the production environment and there was a requirement from client to edit "requisition charge account" manually.

I found the solution in below note

(Segment Combination Cannot Be Saved On Purchasing Requisition Line Distribution (Doc ID 2077390.1))

Solution
Before you can apply the solution you are referring to, your setup needs to be the same as the setup for that solution. For that solution, the client had a segment overlay rule. When you have a segment overlay rule, then after TAB derives a complete charge account, it will trigger the segment overlay rule which will then replace a specific segment (Natural Account in this specific instance) in the just derived charge account combination. The client did not want this overlay to happen when a user has manually entered a charge account.

Normally, the solution to the problem would be to add a rule (see steps below) with a condition "Requisition Charge Account".<<SEGMENT_NAME>> Is not null as a first rule but due to a bug, the workaround was to use the condition "Requisition Charge Account"."All" Is not null.

Steps to adding a rule
a) Edit your custom charge account rule (Manage Account Rule > Purchasing > [YOUR_CHARGE_ACCOUNT_RULE]
b) The charge account rule consists of multiple rules (you will see these when you open it up for edit). Add a rule (first rule) with Source = Requisition Charge Account and condition = "Requisition Charge Account"."All" Is not null

Answer -
Hi Ramesh,

It looks like you are ONLY overlaying the Account segment for both project and non-project related lines. To combine all the rules, you should do the following

1) Creating a new account rule of type 'Segment'
2) In the Rules section, create the following rules

• Rule 1 for Project related lines and it will have the following condition -* "Destination
  Type Code"(PO) = EXPENSE 'AND'
  "Expenditure Organization ID" Is not null* . The value type for this rule will be Mapping Set and it will point to the Mapping Set you have created for your projects.
• Rule 2 for non-Projected related lines and this will not have any condition. The value type will also be mapping set and this will point to the Mappping Set you have created for item category

3) In your Transaction Account Defintion, specify the rule from step 2 above as your Account Segment overlay rule

The explanation is this -

a) The system will first derive a complete charge account based on the account combination rule in your TAD

b) Then the system will call the overlay segment rule. The system will check Rule 1 in your overlay rule. It says to check if the line is of type expense and also has an Expenditure Org ID (you get this when you specifiy Project Details for the line). If the conditions are true, it will look at the attached mapping set and will not call Rule 2. If the conditions are false, it will move to Rule 2

Populate cost center segment on PO Charge natural account without Mapping s

We need to know how to populate the cost center segment on PO Charge natural account without creating a mapping set.how can a cost center rule be created to assign Location Code as Cost Center segment on PO Charge Natural account field on requisitions and purchase orders?

We want to accomplish this without a mapping set since cost center segment exactly matches with Location Code. Also since we have many location codes we do not want to maintain the mapping set.

Solution -
We found a possible solution.
We assume when the customer says location they mean Deliver-to Location. That's the only location segment source for TAB.
If they mean for other things, the solution may not work.

First, go to manage accounting flexfield, find the value set for cost center segment. Here let's say it called VS1.
Second, create a new account rule, the rule type is value set and VS1 is the value.
Then, create a rule,value type is source, the value is Deliver-to Location and put a reasonable condition.
Last, If you're using the original TAD, we suggest creating a new one. Put the the account rule in for charge account and cost center.

How to control reminder invitation e-mails for RFQ?

Requirement-

The customer want to stop or set interval of invitation e-mails for RFQ. It might be able to be modified on Task Configuration of BPM. But, we are not sure which tasks we should modify reminder settings.
Could you let us know which tasks should we modify?

Answer -

For human task notifications, you can change the reminder settings for InviteSupplierRequestForAction task via BPM Worklist. Changing reminder settings for ATK emails is not permitted. ATK emails are ones sent to additional supplier email specified in negotiations.

Alternatively, negotiation invitations can be turned off using notification subscription task, 'Manage Sourcing Notifications'. You can access this task from Setup and Maintenance.

How to change contents of email sent to supplier?

Requirement -

How to change the Email body - add more details, change content of the email subject ?

you can customize the notification content for notifications sent to suppliers using page composer. The user must be an admin user and access notification by logging into the Oracle BPM Worklist application. See http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/tutorial/cloud/r11/wn/r11_procurement_wn.htm#_Toc443569445

Answer

We followed the action plan provided by http://myforums.oracle.com/jive3/thread.jspa?messageID=8966423&#8966423.
"After logging into the BPM worklist application, select 'Administrative Tasks' in the tasks options on the left. Then open the notification you want to customize. If you have logged in as the Procurement Applications Administrator, you should see a link called 'Edit' on the top left side of the page. Once you click that, the notification opens into the Page Composer mode, and you will be able to customize the content as allowed by the Page Composer. Note that you do not need to go to the Administration view (as you can see in your attached document) for this. Simply open the notification from the worklist.

Lead Time Feature in Fusion

Uses of Lead Time in Oracle Fusion :

Item level
BPA Level - The lead time defined on the BPA lines are displayed when the user searches and compares items from the catalog.
Min Max -

1. Pre-processing, Processing lead times: they are added to the current date for determining the requisition need by date.
2. Post-Processing lead times: it is added to the Min-max supply cut off date for determining the availability of the supply quantity from the reqs and po supply.

Agreement date is the earliest of these 3 dates: Date when agreemeent was communicated to the supplier, Date when agreement was acknowledged by the supplier, Date when Agreement became live and went under change control.

Thread: Warning when trying to create Purchasing Document Complete Award in R11

After upgrade to Release 11, Customer started getting waring, when they are trying to create Purchase Order from Complete Award in Negotiation. Customer expectation to fix the issue in release 11 as it was working in release10.
Steps:
1. Create Negotiation
2. Received response from Suppliers
3. Manage Negotiation Actions -> Award -> Award Negotiation
4. Apply award to the line
5. 'Complete Award' option
6. Trying to create Purchasing Document and getting getting warning.

'You will not be able to create purchasing documents in the external application because the target purchasing service URL is empty
Do you want to continue?'


The 'Purchasing Documents' field was introduced in Release 11 as part of the award web service feature. For details, please refer to the Whats New document and the Release Training:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/tutorial/cloud/r11/wn/r11_procurement_wn.htm#_Toc443569446

If the 'Purchasing Documents' field is greyed out, it is likely because Purchasing is not set as implemented in the setup offerings and therefore 'Export using web service' is the only option available for purchasing documents creation. Once the target URL is defined for the award service using the 'Configure Negotiation Award Outbound Service' setup task, the warning will not be displayed anymore.
In 'Configure Procurement Business Function' screen 'Purchasing Documents' is available with "Create in Oracle Fusion Purchasing" and "Export using web service". Since this comes under "Sourcing" section.

For the field 'Purchasing Documents' to be enabled, and for you to be able to select 'Create in Oracle Fusion Purchasing', you need to ensure that the offering 'Purchasing' is set to 'Implemented' in the customer instance. On the setup and maintenance page, check the Configure: Procurement page for the Procurement offering. Implementation Status column for Purchasing should be marked as 'Implemented'. 

Multi Attribute Scoring

Could you explain this with an example? I see I can set 'Ranking Method' to 'Multiattribute scoring'. But I'm not sure how this works in a simple example.

How does it calculate if Supplier A offers price 500 with score 10 and Supplier B offers price 499 with score 1?

Answer

When the Ranking Method is set to Multi attribute scoring, the rank is based on price over score (i.e. price divided by score) and the supplier with the lowest price over score is ranked number 1. In the customer's example, since 500/10=50 is lower than 499/1=499, Supplier A is ranked number 1.

In Multiattribute scoring, it uses the line price and line attribute score to determine the rank, requirements are not used in the ranking.

Punchout: Directory to place supplier certification file also profile valueWe are doing fresh Fusion Implementation and we need to setup punch out to staples for a direct access to supplier hosted catalog ,cXML option .

1) I have configured content zone and catalog with the URL and credentials that the supplier provided and tested the connection ,however we need to know the directory or file path where the suppliers certification file should be placed in ?

(Punch out set up guide states that " Punchout from Oracle Fusion Self Service Procurement directly to Supplier-Hosted Catalog (XML or cXML), the supplier’s certification authority needs to be on the fusion_trust.jks file in Oracle Fusion Self Service Procurement"

In Oracle Fusion Self Service Procurement, the fusion_trust.jks file should be readable and accessible from the middle tier. If the Oracle Fusion Self Service Procurement implementation has multiple Java Virtual Machines (JVMs), the fusion_trust.jks file should be accessible from all the JVMs. )

2) Also we need to know the values to set up the following profile options for punch out
• POR : Proxy Server Name
• POR : Proxy Server Port

Answer

1) You can check where the jks file is and make sure that certifying authority of the supplier's certificate is part of this jks.

Steps to identify the location of the fusion_trust.jks:
a. Login to WLS console
b. Expand Environment -> Click Servers
c. Click the server which you are interested in -> Navigate to Keystore tab
d. You will find the trust store configured in "Custom Trust Keystore" attribute value.
