Defining Cycle Actions
You can customize your order cycles by defining cycle actions and approval actions and using them in your order cycles. For a list of the standard order cycle actions provided by Oracle Order Entry/Shipping, see: Actions and Results.
To define a cycle action:
1. Navigate to the Cycle Actions window.
2. Enter a name and description for the cycle action.
3. Select the level at which the cycle action should apply.
Order: applies to entire order
Line: applies to individual order lines
4. Indicate whether the cycle action is an approval by optionally checking Approval Action.
Attention: When you add a new order or line approval to use in an order cycle, you need to notify your DBA to add an index to the appropriate database table. Run the Action Result Listing and identify the approval action you have added, then ask your DBA to create an index on the table/column (SO_HEADERS/S..., SO_LINES/S...) assigned to that action.
The Find Order and Line Approvals window provides better query performance if it can utilize indexes on the 'S' columns with which each approval action is associated in the SO_HEADERS and SO_LINES tables.
