Purpose



Oracle Approvals Management, also known as the Approvals Management Engine (AME) lets you define approval rules based on your business requirements. Whether you set up approvals in Oracle Purchasing or AME, the Requisition approval workflow in Oracle Purchasing handles the approval. AME is designed to generate the approval list according to the conditions and rules defined in the setup. This troubleshooting guide will help you understand how AME builds the default approval list for Purchasing and help users find solutions for scenarios where the approval list fails to be generated.
