Positioning AME
AME is a simple to use Rules Engine for Defining
Approval Policy
Used by a number of EBS Modules
None or only minimal coding required to setup rules
Centralize storage of approval policies, improves audit
and accountability
Rules engine able to handle organizational structure
changes as they occur in the approval flow
Approval rules can be dated and prioritized to reflect
changes in organizational requirements
Greatly reduced implementation time for customers
