In this article, I would like to explain one of the least understood concepts in Oracle Workflows. This is related to the Access Level/Customization Preservation in Oracle Workflows, and will be explained using a power point presentation. The idea here is to help you preserve your customizations that are done to Standard Oracle Workflows. Although doing customizations to standard products are not supported, however Oracle is somewhat relaxed when it comes to customization made to Workflows. In fact every implementation project involves some level of customization to the Account Generator workflow. Please find the power point presentation that explains the Oracle Workflow customization preservation concepts. Use this link to access the presentation Comments

Dear Anil,
Good articles, pls keep on going like this. I need some help, how to customize workflow escalation process for AP Invoice workflow. If notification is not approved in one day escalation process has to trigger notification to Supervisor/Specific person. Rgds
Hi Anil,
We are not able open the customised forms thru oracle WF. the notification is rceceived but the form icon is disabled. Is there any setup or what should be done. pl suggest. Following message is seen in the notification : - Some buttons are disabled, because your responsibility does not allow you to launch these forms. Thanks, Veena
Hi, I'm currently working on the Payables Invoice workflow. I have added the custom attachment so workflow can send invoice attachment to approver's email. It's working fine with the custom attachment but the original attachment from the seeded workflow does not show attached file extension (attachment body and attachment detail). I have to right click to choose application to open it since custom attachment added to the workflow. Please advise on how do I change the seeded body attachment to open automatically in IE. Thanks, Ryan

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/115/import/US directory Command execurted $FND_TOP/bin/WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y FORCE poxwfpoa.wft After running this it was giving errors like Display name conflict for ACTIVITY entitiy 'POAPPRV/APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_PO' with APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_THE_PO  :Bestellung genehmigen und weiterleiten and so on ....like this Then i tried it in UPGRADE Mode $FND_TOP/bin/WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y UPGRADE poxwfpoa.wft after this it was giving errors like MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/XML_NOT_SET' is protected, no changes were saved. MESSAGE 'WFSTD/WFSTD_DEFAULT_VOTE' is protected, no changes were saved. MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP' is protected, no changes were saved. MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/EMAIL_PO_PDF' is protected, no changes were saved. MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/PO_PO_APPROVE_PDF' is protected, no changes were saved. MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/PO_EMAIL_PO_PDF_WITH_RESPONSE' is protected, no changes were saved. MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/NOTIFY_PDF_ERROR' is protected, no changes were saved. ACTIVITY 'POAPPRV/ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED' is protected, no changes were saved. ACTIVITY 'POAPPRV/ANY_REQUESTER_CHANGE' is protected, no changes were saved. ACTIVITY 'POAPPRV/ANY_SUPPLIER_CHANGE' is protected, no changes were saved. Display name conflict for ACTIVITY entitiy 'POAPPRV/APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_PO' with APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_THE_PO :Bestellung genehmigen und weiterleiten ACTIVITY 'POAPPRV/APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_THE_PO' is protected, no changes were saved. ACTIVITY 'POAPPRV/APPROVE_PO' is protected, no changes were saved. Display name conflict for ACTIVITY entitiy 'POAPPRV/APPROVE_PO_SUB_PROCESS' with APPROVE_PO :Bestellung genehmigen ACTIVITY 'POAPPRV/BLANKET_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, Sachin Relan You must be logged in to a comment.
