How to enable Approval Management Engine (AME) - For Your Information Notification (FYI)

Date: 14-July-2017

Instance version: 12.1.3

Database: 11.2.0.4

In this article we will see how to setup FYI notification using AME.

For this purpose we will take Purchase Requisition approval process.

Step: 1

Configuration Variable:

Change configurable variable to allow FYI
Go to 'Approval management administrator' responsibility, click on configuration variable
Enter Purchase requisition in transaction type and hit GO
Change YES to ‘Allow For Your Information Notification’ variable

Step: 2

Create Rule

Go to 'Approval Management Business Analyst' responsibility, query the transaction type (ie.: Purchase Requisition). 

Define Rule

You will notice the Category now had new value "For Your Information" (earlier it use to be only "Approval").

Step 3:

Add Approval group (which was defined already).

Done will all the setup. Let us know run through a test.

Validation:

Submit requisition and now you will notice FYI group displayed in the approval page.

When the FYI group is invoked the approves in that group will get FYI notification and they do not have to take action.

After FYI group is invoked, the AME will immediately go to next approval group as it is defined in AME.
