WHERE CLAUSES IN APPROVALS

Approval Process and Approver Where clauses#

A where clause may be defined in IMWC or IMDAO. Once a where clause is defined it may be used to control what gets approved and by whom when using it at two levels. The first is by the approval process itself and the second is by each approver. In both cases the where clause must be relative to the approval entity as the base table.

It is important to note that approval/approver where clauses for Personnel Actions which make use of assignments must be defined differently than Personnel Actions that do not use assignments. Personnel Actions that do not make use of assignments would have a where clause condition that starts from the EEM_ID column, where as Personnel Actions that use assignments would have a where clause condition that starts from the EAS_ID column.

Example:
Personnel Action where clause for PEEI:

TypePedefinedColumnOperatorValue
Ad Hoc EEM_ID.EAS_ID_PRIME.ID.DPS_ID.POSITION_CODEEquals JPT_0015a
This condition is attempting to restrict to a position code. In order to do that the condition must start from a column on P2K_SA_PERSONNEL_ACTIONS. This example works its way from P2K_SA_PERSONNEL_ACTIONS using EEM_ID since the PEEI PA type does not use P2K_HR_ASSIGNMENTS, then to the prime assignment on P2K_HR_ASSIGNMENTS then to the effective details of that assignment P2K_HR_ASSIGNMENT_DETAILS then to the position P2K_CM_POSITIONS on that assignment as noted from the foreign key in the condition column. The “value” is the restricted position code.

Example:
Personnel Action where clause for PEAS:

TypePedefinedColumnOperatorValue
Ad Hoc EAS_ID.ID.DPS_ID.POSITION_CODEEqualsJPT_0015a
The condition is the same in that it is attempting to restrict to a particular position code. However, the definition of the condition is slightly different. This example works its way from P2K_SA_PERSONNEL_ACTIONS using EAS_ID since the PEAS PA type does use P2K_HR_ASSIGNMENTS & P2K_HR_ASSIGNMENT_DETAILS, then to the effective details of that assignment P2K_HR_ASSIGNMENT_DETAILS then to the position P2K_CM_POSITIONS on that assignment as noted from the foreign key in the condition column. The “value” is the restricted position code.
