Oracle Apps R12 SSHR Custom Notification Requirement to add Empno and Leave Name in the Notification Subject sent to the approver:

Requirement to add Empno and Leave Name in the Notification Subject sent to the approver:

1. Create package in database XXZAMEL_WF_SS.

Code of package is at the end of the post.

2. Identify the item_Key , message_name from the below query.

select item_key,message_name from wf_notifications

WHERE NOTIFICATION_ID = 9589048

Notification Message Name: HR_EMBD_NTFY_APPROVAL_FWD_MSG

Approval Message Name: HR_EMBED_RN_NTF_APPR_MSG

3. Get the process name from the below query.

select process_name, TRANSACTION_ID from hr_api_transactions where item_key = :item_key_step2

HR_GENERIC_APPROVAL_PRC

4. Open the workflow builder, and then open the process name mentioned in step3.

5. Create 2 attributes under Attributes.

1. SELECT_ABSENCE_NAME
2. SELECT_EMPLOYEE_NUMBER

6. Copy(right click copy) Under Messages ‘HR_EMBED_RN_NTF_APPR_MSG’

and paste (right click paste) with new name as ‘XX_HR_EMBED_RN_NTF_APPR_MSG’

Open the properties of Message and in Body Subject add our new attributes as below.

&HR_APPROVER_MSG_SUBJECT_ATTR -> &SELECT_EMPLOYEE_NUMBER -> &SELECT_ABSENCE_NAME

7. Copy/drag the new 2 attributes created in step 5, paste/drag under the new message created in step6.

8. Copy the notification ‘HR_APPROVER_NTF’ paste it with the new name ‘XX_HR_APPROVER_NTF’.

In the properties of Notification change the message to our new custom message created in step7.

9. Under Functions, create new function internal name as ‘XX_HR_APPR_SET_VALUES’, drag/paste the 2 new attributes under the new function as shown below.

Function Name:  give the package.procedure which we created in step1.

XXZAMEL_WF_SS.set_selected_person

10. Open the process ‘HR_APPROVAL_NTF_PRC’

Take the screenshot and save it, as we will delete the HR_APPROVER_NTF message selected in the above image.

Once deleted, drag the XX_ HR_APPROVER_NTF notification and connect the same as before.

The blue lines shows the connectivity is done twice, Example: Resubmit and then again Approve.

Don’t worry about the function, we are going to add in the next step.

11. Drag the custom function we created between new notification and OR function as below shown.

11.2

Open the properties of our Notification and go to the Node Tab.

Performer Type: ItemAttribtue

                 Value: Forward to Username

12. Save and test the solution.
