Hi,
As per the client requirement, I have customized the PO approval Workflow

For customization i did take care that only those standard workflow processes are customized which are prescribed by Oracle as customizable.

For ex: PO Approval Top Process (Protection Level 1000)

1. All other custom processes are defined and then included in the standard processes.
2. I have done all this activity at an access level of 100 in Workflow Builder.
3. For every custom object in workflow i have checked the Preserve Customization checkbox
4. Though Preserve Customization Checkbox is not checked for PO Approval Top Process.
5. After Verifying the design in Workflow Builder i tried Uploading the Workflow to the instance but it is giving Errors

First I tried to upload in FORCE mode

1. Copying the customized poxwfpoa.wft file to PO_TOP/patch/11 5/import/US directory

Comm and execurted
$FND_ TOP/bin/WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y FORCE poxwfpoa.wft

A fter running this it was giving errors like

Display name conflict for ACTIVITY entitiy 'POAPPRV/APPROV E_AND_FORWARD_P O' with APPROVE_AND_FOR WARD_THE_PO:D:B estellung genehmigen und weiterleiten

a nd so on ....like this

Then i tried it in UPGRADE Mode

$FND_TOP/bin/ WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y UPGRADE poxwfpoa.wft

a fter this it was giving errors like

ACTI VITY 'POAPPRV/BLANKE T_PO_REAPPROVAL ' is protected, no changes were saved.


Though after this i checked, by creating a purchase order, whether the customization have been uploaded or not to my surprise they got uploaded and workflow was working fine

But my problem is that why is this error is coming and in what all scenarios the workflow can fail because of this?

Please advice as i m not getting any clue to it !!

Will request forum members to reply ASAP.

Thanks,

Hi Anil,

PPT was really helpful, very nicely explained there. Thanks a lot.

I am right now doing customization on OM Order Line Workflow. I am just going to insert two or three functions in between standard flows (as per business requirement).

It will be helpful if you can list me the steps to be followed for customizing a standard workflow independently without affecting the standard workflow (.wft) file.

Also please let me know the path where the oexwford.wft file resides in the unix box? I found one in $ONT_TOP but thats not the one which our application uses. There is one other present somewhere and I am not able to find where.

I am not clear on the flow on registering the customized workflow. Any light on this will be highly appreciated!
