Use of PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.START_WF_PROCESS API to Approve PO, BPA & PR

Use of PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.START_WF_PROCESS API to Approve Purchase Orders, Blanket Purchase Agreements & Purchase Requisition ...

• When the Approve button is clicked, the approval modal window form for purchasing approvals iscalled (this is form POXDOAPP.fmb and its attached corresponding library file POXAPAPC.pll.). Both Enter Requisition and Enter Purchase Order forms call the the same approval form.
• The library file POXAPAPC.pll has a procedure PO_WF_APPROVE_C.SetUpWorkFlow that calls the procedure PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.Start_WF_Process in package file POXWPA1B.pls.
• This server side procedure calls the workflow and initiates the workflow and processes the document through the workflow...
