Problem & Solutions

Requirement: I want to standardize my GL Account entry on a non-Oracle tool and thenexport the results from the tool to Oracle Financials. Is there an import function that willallow me to take the values from my tool and import them into the Oracle Financials system?Solution: Two alternatives:

1) Write a SQL*Loader script to load the records to the tablegl gl_interface and import thejournals in the GL application.2) If you can extract the records from the tool to an Excel-compatible format, you can createExcel files and format them as ADI spreadsheets and upload them to Oracle GL using ADI.

Requirement: I need to send NEW customers from Oracle into IMI (both bill-to and sell-to) andChanges to Existing Customers from Oracle to IMI. IMI is a third party system used by ourcustomer. What are my best options to perform this task ?Solution: To sync, I would go with EAI tools. Else I would go with interface to select thechanges and send it to target system. The same way, populate the changes from IMI to Oracleinterface and schedule it to run on required gap. Else maintain a custom table to track thechanges, make trigger on this table that can monitor the changes in customer table and canpopulate the data to IMI and same way another trigger on IMI to send it to Oracle Interface.

Requirement: Invoice once printed should not be altered

Solution: In system options there is a check box " Allow Change to PrintedTransactions ".

Requirement: Detailed Invoice information needs to be interfaced from IMI to Oracle A/R. IMIis a third pary product used by Customer.Solution: Populate interface tables for running autoinvoice such as ra_interface_lines_all nothers and then run import autoinvoice.

Requirement: To import all open AR Invoices from 11.03 to 11i including TAX lines also. Whiledoing this we are not able to get TAX lines into 11i, but only invoices Lines are gettingimported without TAX. As per AutoInvoice document to achieve this we have to define1) New Transaction source2) New Transaction Type3) Defined Line Transaction FlexfieldINTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1, INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE2, INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIB4) Defined Link Transaction Flexfield with same segments defined for "Line TransactionFlexfield" LINK_TO_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1, LINK_TO_LINE_ATTRIBUTE2, LINK_TO_LINE_ATTRI

5) Insert required recordsinto ra_interface_lines_all , ra_interface_distributions_all , ra_salescredit_interface_all6) When i run "AutoInvoice" program TAX lines are not inserting into 11i.

Solution: 1) If you've passed LINE_TYPE = 'TAX' and linked it with the Original invoice usingthe link fields.2) Pass the tax code and other tax> > info in the ra_interface_lines_all table3) Also check the tax code set up.

Its working fine, but the problem know is- 'Auto invoice' program inserting two TAX lines foreach line (i.e. line_type='LINE'), even I unchecked 'Tax calculation' flag while defining'Transaction Type". Requirement is to insert both line type 'LINE' and 'TAX' lines into interfacetables and AutoInvoice to process those records.

General rule is Auto invoice will move lines from interface to base table and should not create

additonal lines. If you populate tax code in the type "LINE" it will create new tax line. Henceduplicate with another line you populate as "TAX". Try not populating tax code.

Requirement: Extracting data as CSV Files?Solution: Using SQL this works quick and easy:colsep.sqlSET SERVEROUTPUT ONSET ECHO OFFSET VERIFY OFFSET Heading OFFSET LINESIZE 2000SET NEWPAGE NONESET PAGESIZE 100SET Heading OFFSET COLSEP , @colsep97474,J.G.

SQL>

Another easy way could be:Query the invoices in Invoice entry screen. And Export(file--export).

Requirement: I'd paid some amount to a Supplier and he promised that he is going to deliversome goods in a particular time period. Unfortunately he couldn't deliver and he wants to paythe money back. Now i just want to know WHICH MODULE deals with these kind of issues. Asfar as i know ACCOUNTS PAYABLES deals with paying some amount to a Supplier or whatever. ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES deals with the amount we are getting. Is there any commonmodule which deals with those kind of issues?Solution: It should be a simple credit memo that the supplier issued to you. Enter it in Oracleand then reconcile the payment you receive from the supplier with the memo. It is quitestraight forward and all handled within AP. AR will not come into picture at all.

In Account Payables only, you can entre it as a pre-payment and then it can be adjusted.

Requirement: AR Receipt APII have a bank file (which is not the lockbox file), it is basically a bankstatement. And I wantto create receipts using the API. I want to know how the errors during file uploads werehandled through the API.

Solution: http://www.anilpassi.com/apps/incl/ar/code/AR_RECEIPTS_API.pdf

Which optin is better :1) To convert the bank statement to lockbox format2) To use the API. If we use API, I need to think how to apply the receipts as we will need towrite our logic of receipt matching.

Requirement: AR Auto lockbox- Negative amount applicationI am using auto lockbox for receipt creation and its application against invoices. But i amunable to applied -ve amount against invoice, for example for credit memo invoices.

Requirement: Oracle iSetup- Can it be used to import the setup in one instance to another(like from UAT to Pre Production env)?

Solution: Oracle iSetup is a product which can be used to import the setup in one instance toanother. Most of the products are integrated with iSetup by default. You can go to OracleiSetup responsibility and look for your product and check what all you can import from oneinstance to another.

Requirement: How to run concurrent program from backend in oracleHow to run concurrent program from backend andhow to call them from back end?

Solution:1) You can check out concsub utility and can run using shell script.1) You can check outconcsub utility and can run using shell script.

2) Use fnd_request.submit_Request for submitting a concurrent program from PL/SQL. Ensurethat you use commit and the environmental variables are set.

E.g.fnd_request.submit_request(p_prog_appl_short,p_prog_name_short,NULL,NULL,FALSE,p_prog_param1,p_prog_param2,p_prog_param3......)

Requirement: FNDLOAD problem - Not downloading valuesWhen I run the FNDLOAD program form downloading everything looks good, but when I wantto upload it into Database, I have velueset definition without the values. I'm using theFNDLOAD command as follows:FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afffload.lct file_name.ldtVALUE_SET_VALUE FLEX_VALUE_SET_NAME="value set name"

Solution:Try this-FNDLOAD apps/password O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afffload.lctxx_mas_jsp_shipset_jk1.ldt VALUE_SET VSET_VALUE FLEX_VALUE_SET_NAME="value set name

I have not got any errors or messages. When I try upload value set definition, FNDLOAD uploadonly value set definition without values. If I want to upload value set correctly, I have todelete all information in fields 'owner' and 'date'. After reupload FNDLOAD upload allinformations including values.Maybe problem is in download process. Maybe FNDLOAD havesome problem with download some values.

I never had to upload with FNDLOAD. This was also for a TAR I still have open with Oracle. Ihad to code it basing it on Unix but I run onWindows. As for loading data I use SQL*Loaderinstead. But check the following:- include schema

- security issue try sysadmin, etcHere are some sites with samples that mighthelp: http://appsdbablog.com/blog/2006/09/fndload.htmlhttp://oracle.anilpassi.com/oracle-fndload-script-examples.html

Try this command. using this you can upload valuset definition and the values too.

FNDLOAD apps/password O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afffload.lctfile_name.ldt VALUE_SET VSET_VALUE FLEX_VALUE_SET_NAME="Valueset_name"

Step1: First download your valueset and its values using the below command -FNDLOAD apps/password O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/11.5/import/afffload.lctfile_name.ldt VALUE_SET VSET_VALUE FLEX_VALUE_SET_NAME="Valueset_name"

Step2: Then use the upload command to upload the value set and its values into anotherinstance.FNDLOAD apps/password O Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/11.5/import/afffload.lct file_name.ldt

Requirement: Custom index on standard oracle tableThough Oracle doesn't support custom index on standard oracle tables, I have a requirement inwhich I need to add a non-unique index on OE_HEADERS_IFACE_ALL for performance issues. Ineed to reduce the cost in the explain plan + the full table scan. Is there any workaroundavailable?
