Workflow Rules Report for Financial Workflows

Use the enhanced Workflow Rules Report to review the rules configured in Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) for financial workflows. This report shows the details of rule conditions and approval routing for each rule. This report was first introduced in update 18C for Invoice Approval, Journal Approval, and Expense Report Approval workflows.

Workflow administrators can use this report to ensure that any rules defined or modified in Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) adhere to recommended best practices. In update 23A, this report is enhanced for following financial workflows:

  • Automatic or Manual Credit Request Processing
  • Bank Account Transfer Approval
  • Bankruptcy Request Approval
  • Cash Advance Approval
  • Credit Request Approval
  • Credit Request Approval Postprocessing Action
  • Delegation of Corporate Card Transactions for Inactive Employees
  • Hold Resolution
  • Incomplete Invoice Hold
  • Intercompany Transaction Approval
  • Intercompany Transaction Distribution Entry
  • Invoice Account Coding
  • Manually Entered Credit Request Completion
  • Payment Approval
  • Spend Authorization Approval

Workflow Transaction Console

Use the Workflow Transaction Console to monitor workflow tasks and resolve exceptions for the Payment Approval workflow. The Workflow Transaction Console was introduced in update 19D for the Invoice, Expense, and Journal workflows. In update 23A, the Workflow Transaction Console is enhanced to display the workflow tasks related to the Payment Approval workflow.

Get News Feed Suggestions On Your Next Likely Actions

Get suggestions on your next likely actions in your news feed layout. This feature is currently in Controlled Availability and is available in Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials and Oracle Fusion Cloud Project Management. Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms predict and suggest the actions each user is most likely to take during a session. The algorithms use historic navigation behavior and patterns of each user and users like them to determine which navigation target they’re most likely to visit.

Self Service Financials

Expenses

Monthly and Lifetime Rate Limit Enforcement for Miscellaneous Policies

Enforce monthly and lifetime rate limits for miscellaneous expenses. Use this feature to enforce policies where a certain expenditure is allowed only a certain number of times within a specified time period. For example, set a limit for the maximum reimbursement allowed for internet charges every month.

Preconfigured Merchant Category Code Mapping to Expense Types

Use preconfigured mapping of merchant category codes to corporate card expense types. This reduces implementation effort as customers do not need to create the mapping.

Print Preview for PDF and MS Office Document Attachments in Expense Reports

Generate a print preview of an expense report and any pdf, image, .doc and .xls attachments. Employees and auditors can use this to view and print the expense report and related attachments as a single PDF document.
