Vacation Rules

Vacation Rules in Oracle R12

In this post we will see how to create vacation rules when you want to transfer notifications meant for you to your colleague.

The First Step is to login in Oracle and click on Notification summary

Navigate to Suppose Purchasing Super user > Notifications Summary

 Click in Vacation Rules at the bottom of the page

Select Item type for which you want to create Vacation rules. We will take "ALL" for our example. Click Next.

#Enter Start Date from which you want to transfer notifications
#Optionally enter End Date
#Optionally Enter a message which will be displayed with routed notifications.
#In Reassign, select the user name whom you want to transfer the notification
# Select "Delegate Your Response" if you want to delegate all notification approvals to an assistant.
# Select "Transfer notification ownership" if you want to transfer notifications for a specific project to the new manager of that project.

Click Apply

Table Involved : WF_ROUTING_RULES

Note: The key to setting-up a valid Vacation Rule is to ensure the rule is tied to a Username rather then the Full Name of the desired user.  The reason for this is that the Worklist and Notification Summary for the user is linked to their username and not full name record (Reference Metalink)

Suppose a person forgot to create vacation rules then in that case we can also use Management >Forward Documents  or you can reassign it using workflow monitor.
