The Document Type of Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) fails using the Approval Management Engine (AME) Approval.
• The AME rule has been set up and is used both for Standard Purchase Orders (PO) and BPA.
• Standard Purchase Order Approval is working fine with the same AME rule.
• The BPA remains in “incomplete” status when the approval process is initiated.
Cause
Currently, the PO AME Approval supports only Standard Purchase Orders and Global Purchase Agreements.
AME approval is Disabled for Planned POs, Local Purchase Agreements, and Releases.
Solution
It is the standard functionality currently Oracle has not provided the solution for Local agreements and Planned PO.
To achieve Approval for Planned Purchase Orders, Local Purchase Agreements, and Releases, the standard Oracle Approval workflow process (Job / Position Hierarchy) must be used instead of AME.
