Symptoms

In Oracle Sourcing, Release 12.1.3 and later, the workflow system administrator user is receiving an error notification message after a Sourcing administrator has invited supplier users to participate in Online Discussion.

Due to this issue, it is unclear if all supplier users are receiving the online discussion notifications, and the workflow system administrator is unsure about the cause of the failure.


Error

The workflow mailer notification shows:

Subject: Action Required: Error in Workflow PONAUCT/#####-######-###### 3120: Activity 'PONAUCT/#####' has no performer.

An Error occurred in the following Workflow.
