Approval Management Engine (AME) Approval Management Engine (AME) is a product that was introduced in E-Business Suite 11i. This was on the persistent request of many users to provide a more flexible rules engine to manage approvals of transactions in the E-Business Suite software. Prior to the introduction of this product approval was only possible by creating an approval hierarchy, job-supervisor relationship or positional. These hierarchies were driven by Oracle HRMS with data in HR organizations. This led many organizations to make extensions and modifications (customizations) to enable their approval rules to be implemented. Prior to the introduction of AME, approvals were predominantly managed using standard approval hierarchies (based on HR data) and were built for procurement transactions. Approval of other transactions was not supported till the introduction of Oracle Workflow.
