Setting Workflow Activity Attributes
You must define the attribute value for the following activities (including Notification-type and Function-type activities). For more information, see: Oracle Workflow Guide.
To set Workflow activity attributes:
1. In the Process-No Manager Response Process window for the Notify Preparer When Resend Count Equals Limit activity, you can define the Attribute Value for Number of times to notify manager. This Attribute Value helps the Expense Reporting workflow determine how many times in total to send a request for approval before the preparer is given other approval options.
2. In the Process-Manager (Spending) Approval Process window for the Sum of Exp Lines With Missing Receipts Exceeds AP Limit activity, you can define the Attribute Value for AP Limit of Sum of Missing Receipt Expense Lines. This Attribute Value helps the Expense Reporting workflow determine when to request the Approver to confirm approval of an expense report if an expense report with missing receipt items is approved by the Approver.
3. In the Process-AP Approval Process window for the AP Expense Report Review Complete activity, you can define the Attribute Value for Time Interval Between Checks (in number of hours or fraction of hours) to determine how often the Oracle Workflow Background Engine checks for completion of Accounts Payable review (if required for an expense report).
4. In the Process - Third Party Expense Report Process window, for the Loop Counter activity, you can define the Attribute Loop Limit (number of times) to determine how many times the Request Employee Approval activity should perform before the approval is no longer required and the expense report continues to the next step in the Manager (Spending) Approval Process.
5. In the Process - Third Party Expense Report Process window, for the Employee Approval Required activity, you can define whether the approval is required of an employee for whom another employee (preparer) submits an expense report. If you select Yes, after a preparer submits an expense report on behalf of another employee, approval is required by the employee for whom the expense report was entered. If the employee approves, the approval process continues based on the Find Approver Method. If you select No, after a preparer submits an expense report on behalf of another employee, the employee for whom the expense report was entered receives only a notification, and the approval process continues based on the Find Approver Method.
6. In the Manager (Spending) Approval Process window, for the Payment Req Proof Of Even If Mgr Approved Receipt Missing activity, you can define whether you always require proof of payment for all items for which you have defined receipt is required, even in those cases where an employee submits an expense report indicating that original receipts are missing and management approves the expense report. If proof of payment is not required for items where the employee indicates that receipts are missing, then the RECEIPT_REQUIRED_FLAG is set to N for all items where receipts are required but the employee indicated that receipts are missing. If proof of payment is required, then the RECEIPT_REQUIRED_FLAG is not updated for those items where receipts are required (value set to Y) and the employee indicates that receipts are missing.
