Linking the Approvals Inbox to a Non-ESS Process


The Unified Approvals Inbox can also be linked to items other than Employee Self Service processes using the Universal Inbox business service.

There are three ways to link to this business service:

  1. Runtime events (at the Object Manager level)
  2. Workflow monitor
  3. Business component-level server script

The business service has two Universal Inbox methods, Initialize (<IN> Argument, <OUT> Argument), and Route to Approver. The route to approver method is typically used when the approver is known, as it reduces the need for an additional workflow.
