EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The purpose of this document is to familiarize the users of Oracle Advanced Global Intercompany Systems (R12) with the Approvals Management (Hierarchical Approval) feature. This document provides details on the Usage and Setup of Approvals Management (Hierarchical Approval) for Intercompany Transaction Approval.
INTRODUCTION
In release 12, Intercompany Transactions can be processed using Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS). Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS) enables integration with Approval Management to send Hierarchical Approval Notifications for intercompany transactions. If Approval Management is not used, then system will send single Approval Notification based on Security setups in Advanced Global Intercompany. Using Approvals Management, system can send multiple Approval Notifications for approvals based on Approvals Management Supervisor Hierarchy. Note: - This functionality was introduced through the Patch 6995183
SCOPE
The scope of this Document is to understand the Integration of Approval Management with Advanced Global Intercompany System. The document provides details on the usage and setup of AME for intercompany transaction approvals. Please refer to Oracle Advanced Global Intercompany System User's Guide and Oracle Approvals Management Implementation Guide for more information. While defining AME there are various options available for setting the approvals. However in this whitepaper, we would be discussing the steps to define AME based on the Supervisor Level approvals using the following usage attribute types: 1. Static Attribute Method 2. Dynamic Attribute Method
Page 3
Static Method:
Processing Advanced Global Intercompany Recipient Transaction with Supervisor Hierarchical Approval Notifications Static Method: A static use specifies a fixed value for the attribute, for all items and transactions. It is a common practice to give static use to most or all of the mandatory attributes. A static use requires less runtime overhead than a dynamic use. Also, static use expresses uniform business policies for all transactions in a given transaction type. Static Method involves the following steps 1: Define Employee Hierarchy Setups (Mandatory) 2: Define Action Types for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Mandatory) 3: Define Rules for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Mandatory) 4: Define Attributes for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Mandatory) 5: Define Conditions for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Optional) 6: Define Approver Groups for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Optional) 7: Transaction process Note: - Steps 5 and 6 are optional and hence not covered in this session. For more details please refer Approval Management Engine (AME) Implementation guide

1. Define Supervisor Employee (SIVA) 2. Define Subordinate Employee (SAMEER) Employee: -SAMEER (Employee id 31418) Supervisor -> SIVA (Employee id 31638)

Choose Add Action and then select Action type as Supervisor level and select correct levels of hierarchy. As per the setup shown in this white paper if Require approvals up to the first two superiors is selected then, first SAMMER will approve the AGIS transaction, after that notification will go to supervisor SIVA. Once supervisor approves AGIS Batch then AGIS Batch status will change to Approved.

Here select the options as follows: Attribute Category Item Class Data Type Name : All : All : All : SUPERVISORY_NON_DEFAULT_STARTING_POINT_PERSON_ID Select GO Button and then Choose Update button for the attribute SUPERVISORY_NON_DEFAULT_STARTING_POINT_PERSON_ID Page 8
Here pass the following information Description Data Type : Enter required description : Number
Approver Type : HR People Value Set Usage Type Value : Blank : Select Static from drop down list : Subordinate employee id
Here user needs to give starting point as Subordinate employee id. Based on the subordinate employee id AGIS will get the Supervisor employee hierarchy setup details. In this case, SAMEER is the subordinate for supervisor SIVA. Hence we gave employee id of SAMEER which is 31418.

Here select the options as follows Attribute Category Item Class Data Type Name : All : All : All : TOP_SUPERVISOR_PERSON_ID Choose GO Button and then Select Update button for the attribute TOP_SUPERVISOR_PERSON_ID
Page 10
Here pass the following information Description Data Type : Enter required description : Number
Approver Type : HR People Value Set Usage Type Value : Blank : Select Static from drop down list : Supervisor employee id And choose apply button. Here user needs to give ending point as Supervisor employee id to close the approval notifications. For SAMEER, SIVA is the supervisor hence we gave Supervisor employee id that is 31638.

SOracle Bangalore AGIS Organization access given to SAMEER .Once SAMEER approves recipient notification then final approval notification will goes to SIVA (Supervisor). In the above example batch number 70 was received by SOracle Bangalore for approval
Page 12
Transaction: 70 Approved by SAMEER and forwarded to subsequent approvals. When the transaction submitted for further approval, you can see the following message in the inbound page Your approval action for transaction 70 and recipient SOracle Bangalore has been
recorded. The transaction may be forwarded for subsequent approvals.
As transaction is forwarded for further approval, the transaction status remains as Received.

Supervisor (SIVA) can now select the Approve button and complete the approval process.
Navigation: Intercompany Super user->Transaction->Inbound ->Query the Batch number 70
Here Transaction status changed as Approved because batch approved by the final approver that is SIVA (Supervisor).

Dynamic Method:
Processing Advanced Global Intercompany Recipient Transaction with supervisor Hierarchical approval notifications with Dynamic Method: A dynamic use specifies an SQL query that AME executes at run time .This query fetches the attribute's value for each item in the attribute's item class, for a given transaction. The execution of dynamic attribute use constitutes the majority of AME's run time overhead. Therefore, optimizing your dynamic use can have a big impact on AME's performance. Ensure you optimize these queries thoroughly, especially if the Transaction type that owns them processes a high volume of transactions. Multiple users would be having the same initiator and recipient organization access. System picks the approval hierarchy on the basis of the employee id of the user who would be creating the transaction. SOracle Hyderabad (Initiator) and SOracle Bangalore (Recipient) organization access was given to INIT_USER, INIT_MGR, REPT_USER and REPT_MGR For INIT_USER, Supervisor is INIT_MGR For REPT_USER, Supervisor is REPT_MGR
If AGIS Transaction is created by INIT_USER then approval goes to INIT_MGR. Similarly if AGIS Transaction is created by REPT_USER then approval goes to REPT_MGR. Dynamic Method involves the following steps: 1: Define employee hierarchy setups (Mandatory) 2: Define Action Types for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Mandatory) 3: Define Rules for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Mandatory) 4: Define Attributes for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Mandatory) 5: Define Conditions for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Optional) 6: Define Approver Groups for FUN Recipient Intercompany Transaction (Optional) 7: Transaction process

Select Add Action and choose Action type as Supervisory level and select correct levels of hierarchy. REPT User is the subordinate and REPT MGR is the Supervisor as per the Hierarchy. If Require an approval up to the first two levels is selected then first REPT User will approve the AGIS transaction, after that notification will go to supervisor REPT MGR. Once supervisor REPT MGR approves AGIS Batch then AGIS Batch status will change to Approved. Page 19
Here select the options as follows Attribute Category Item Class Data Type Name : All : All : All : SUPERVISORY_NON_DEFAULT_STARTING_POINT_PERSON_ID Select Go and then choose Update button for the attribute SUPERVISORY_NON_DEFAULT_STARTING_POINT_PERSON_ID

SOracle Bangalore organization access was given to REPT_USER. Once REPT_USER approves recipient notification then final approval notification will goes to REPT_USER (Supervisor). This approval path is based on the hierarchy of REPT_USER. In the above example batch number 88 was received by SOracle Bangalore for approval.
Page 22
Transaction: 88 Approved by REPT_USER and forwarded to subsequent approvals. When the transaction submitted for further approval, you can see the following message in the Inbound Page
Your approval action for transaction 88 and recipient SOracle Bangalore has been recorded. The transaction may be forwarded for subsequent approvals.
As transaction is forwarded for further approval the transaction status remains as Received
