Approval Management Engine(AME)

The purpose of Oracle Approvals Management (AME) is to define approval rules that determine the approval processes for Oracle applications. You can use AME to derive lists of approvers based on user defined rules and maintain a history of approvers statuses when :
1.Authorizing expenses
2.Transferring employess from one division/cost center to another
3.Approving purchase orders with line or total order values
4.Paying invoices

AME-In simple Terminology

i. AME is a Rule Engine for Defining Approval Policy
ii.AME is a generic engine that can be used where no integration currently exist,even with non
EBS modules
iii.Standardizing on one engine reduces costs for customer as well as consulting since only one set
of skills required
iv.None or minimal coding is required to setup rules.
