Qns 7: How do you design an Interface in Oracle Applications .Explain thevarious steps in detail.

Step-01Create a staging table and populate the records received from customerusing SQL Loader.

COMMAND LINE: sqlldr userid/user@pass control=CHP_ITEMS.ctldata=CHP_ITEMS.csv

LOAD DATAINFILE 'C:\CHP_ITEMS.csv'

INSERTINTO TABLE CHP_MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMSFIELDS TERMINATED BY ','OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS(ITEM_NUMBER, DESCRIPTION, TEMPLATE_NAME, PRIMARY_UNIT_OF_MEASURE, LIST_PRICE_PER_UNIT)

Step-02

After that I wrote cursor script to load from staging table to interface table.

Step-03Assuming that I am designing Customer interface. After that I run standardCustomer Interface Program to load the data into transaction table.Customer Interface Program validate the data and transfer into Transactiontable in apps and customization to standard programs is not recommendedor supported by Oracle.

In the Price type quickpick in the Purchase Order Lines zone in enterPurchase Order form, there is a value called COST PLUS FEE. What is theCOST PLUS FEE price type? How is Purchase Order treating thisprice type?

Answer------The functionality for COST PLUS FEE price type is not in Oracle Purchasing atthis point of time. PO does not do anything with this price type.It is an enhancement request that is being looked at for future releases.2. What is 2-way, 3-way, 4-way matching? How is this set-up?

Answer------


20/24

2-way matching verifies that Purchase order and invoice information match withinyour tolerances as follows:Quantity billed


21/24

the quickpick come from and how can this information default in? Answer ------The supplier item field on the requisition can be populated by using either thesupplier item catalog or ASL. Take an item from the supplier item catalog thathas an associated supplier item, add it to the order pad and then add it to therequisition. After doing this go to the source details zone. The supplier item is

defaulted in for that item you choose from the catalog. Navigation: --> Purchasing--> Supplier Item catalog10. You are entering a requisition and are unable to find the header or linenote fields. Was this replaced in GUI by attachments?

Answer------The attachments have replaced notes.

Answer------The navigation path for GUI is:Setup --> Organizations --> Purchasing Options, Numbering alternate regionThe navigation path for Character is:\ Navigate Setup Purchasing Options Purchasing, Numbering options


22/24

16. There is a field for the organization code. What is this code?Answer------This code is a short abbreviation for the organization.17. Can the original Purchase Order can be viewed in any way without resorting
