Steps To Prevent The 'CC Manager' Notification Being Sent To The Supervisor Of The Preparer when using AME for Expense Report Approvals

When we use AME for Expense Report approvals, When an authorized delegate submits an expense report for another employee, the 'AME Approval Process/CC Direct Manager' sends a FYI notification t to the supervisor of the preparer. This is a new feature introduced in R12.1.3 as part of RUP4.


This is a good feature from a manager perspective to track the activities performed by all the employees reporting to him. But some companies don't like this feature depends upon their business needs.

Here are the steps to follow to disable this extra notification - 

Method1 :Download the workflow file and modify the WF attribues

1. Open the APEXP.wft file and double click on 'IS_MANAGER_IN_THE_APPR_PROCESS' Process
2. Click on the Node Attributes and here we have an attribute named 'CC Direct Manager Notification'.
3. Update the value to No, save the workflow file to the database.
4. Bounce the workflow listeners as well as the mid-tier servers. 

Method2: Using an UPDATE Statement from backend 

use the below query to update the attribute value directly using UPDATE Script, without modifying and migrating the workflow file and Oracle supports the UPDATE of attributes from backend.

Query to find the Current Value of 'CC_DIRECT_MGR_NOTIFICATION' Attribute

SELECT aav.text_value
FROM   apps.wf_activity_attr_values aav
WHERE  aav.NAME LIKE 'CC_DIRECT_MGR_NOTIFICATION'
       AND aav.process_activity_id IN (SELECT pa.instance_id
                                       FROM   apps.wf_process_activities pa
                                       WHERE
               pa.activity_name = 'IS_MANAGER_IN_THE_APPR_PROCESS'
               AND pa.process_item_type = 'APEXP'
               AND process_version >= (SELECT Max(process_version)
                                       FROM   apps.wf_process_activities pa
                                       WHERE
                   pa.activity_name = 'IS_MANAGER_IN_THE_APPR_PROCESS')) 


Note: Here I added a condition to update the node for the latest process version as there are 4 versions of this process stored in my case. If you are not sure about the process versions, we can update for all 4 versions.

Query to UPDATE the Value of 'CC_DIRECT_MGR_NOTIFICATION' Attribute


UPDATE apps.wf_activity_attr_values aav
SET    aav.text_value = 'N'
WHERE  aav.NAME LIKE 'CC_DIRECT_MGR_NOTIFICATION'
       AND aav.process_activity_id IN (SELECT pa.instance_id
                                       FROM   apps.wf_process_activities pa
                                       WHERE
               pa.activity_name = 'IS_MANAGER_IN_THE_APPR_PROCESS'
               AND pa.process_item_type = 'APEXP'
               AND process_version >= (SELECT Max(process_version)
                                       FROM   apps.wf_process_activities pa
                                       WHERE
                   pa.activity_name = 'IS_MANAGER_IN_THE_APPR_PROCESS'))
