Following is a list of each activity in the Receivables Approval subprocess, listed by the activity's display name.

Start (Node 1)

This is a Standard function activity that simply marks the start of the subprocess.

Find Receivable Approver (Node 2)

This function activity determines who the approver is for the request by checking the Receivables user, defined in AME rules for the Receivables Credit Memo Receivables transaction type.

This activity saves the name of the requestor as well as the amount and reason for the request.

If an approver is found, then this activity returns a value of 'T' for true; otherwise, it returns a value of 'F' for false.

Request Approval - Remind Approver (Node 13)

This activity sends a reminder notice to the approver that the request needs to be approved or rejected. This activity occurs only if the Request Approval - Inform Approver activity times out before being completed.

No Manager in HR - Inform System Administrator (Node 15)

This activity notifies the system administrator when the Find Manager activity is unable to locate the approver's manager. After the system administrator resolves the problem, he responds to the notification with a status of "problem fixed" and the process restarts.

Insert Approval Reminder Notes (Node 16)

This function activity inserts basic information on the disputed transaction indicating that the request was forwarded to the approver's manager for approval.

Request Approval - Inform Manager (Node 17)

Insert Rejected Response Notes & Update Status (Node 18)

This function activity inserts basic information on the disputed transaction when the request is rejected, and removes the transaction from dispute.

Credit Memo Request Rejected - Inform Requestor (Node 19)

This activity notifies the requestor that the request was rejected. The message includes 'Send' attributes that display the request number, description, and amount.

If you display the property page of this activity you see that the activity is assigned to a performer whose name is stored in an item type attribute called Requestor Username.

End (Nodes 11 and 20)

This function activity marks the end of the process. Although the activity itself does not have a result type, each node of this activity in the process must have a process result assigned to it.

The process result is assigned in the property page of the activity node. Since the Credit Memo Request process activity has a result type of Boolean, each End activity node must have a process type result matching one of the lookup codes in the Boolean lookup type.
