Process to Setup And Use AME in General

Assign AME Roles and Responsibilities 

AME responsibilities in 11i.AME.A are assigned directly to the users.  However, In R12 or 11i.AME.B and higher, AME responsibilities are assigned indirectly to users through roles.  The roles are assigned to the users by the SYSADMIN user using the User Management responsibility.  Once the roles are assigned, the AME responsibilities are automatically available to the users without specifically assigning the AME responsibilities to the users.  Here are steps to assign the roles:

1) Login as System Administrator user

2) Select the responsibility "User Management".  (NOTE: User Management data is stored in the UMX schema)

3) Select "Users" menu option

4) Search for the user to whom you wish to grant AME roles

5) In the results table, click on update icon 

6) In the update user page, user details can be seen along with a list of roles available to user

    Click on "Assign Roles" ( This will appear only if the Approval Management Administrator or Approval 

    Management Business User Analyst responsibilities are already assigned to the User)

7) Search for Approval% and Select roles from the resulting LOV.  Choose the roles that are applicable (proper authority) for the user, and click the Select button.

8) Specify justification and relevant dates for the newly assigned roles, and click Apply to assign the roles to the user.

Grant Transaction Type Access to Users

AME restricts access to transaction types using Data Security.  Grant users access to the transaction types using the Grants page. Set up user access as follows:

1) Navigate to the Personal Home Page

2) Select Functional Administrator Responsibility 

3) From the Grants page, press on the Create Grant button

4) Create a grant with the following information: 

             · Name <specify a descriptive name>
             · Grantee Type = Specific User
             · Grantee = <The user which you just created>
             · Object = AME Transaction Types 

5) Click Next and select the Object Data Context

     Data Context Type = All Rows

6) Click Next to define the object parameters and Select Set

    Set = AME Calling Applications

7) Click Next, review the setups and then Finish the process.
