[OM] Launch Pick Release Failed
My Sales Order (SO) has been booked successfully. Order header status is Booked, order line status is Awaiting
Shipping. Quantity on-hand is sufficient. At Shipping Transactions form, I performed "Launch Pick Release", order
line status remainedAwaiting Shipping, it did not change to Picked.

No warning or error was prompted.

In my case, it was due to Credit Hold. Go Order Header -> Actions -> Additional Order Information, I saw Hold with
message "Credit check hold applied. Overall limit exceeded.". GoActions -> Release Holds to release hold before
proceed to Pick Release.

In order to perform Release Holds action, you need to be given authorities. Get the Holds Name and check the
authorizations at Setup -> Orders -> Holds.

[GTM] R12: Awaiting Export Screening
At Sales Order line, after order booked, you see the line status became "Awaiting Export Screening" and not
"Awaiting Shipping". Why?

It is caused by a extra Oracle module that we have integration with, GLOBAL TRADE MANAGEMENT (GTM). GTM
will do the screening and feedback to EBS that whether this order line has passed the screening rule. If Yes, order
line status will changed to "Awaiting Shipping". If Not, order line status will remained as "Awaiting Export Screening",
and as a result, you cannot proceed with Pick Release.

[OM] R12: Sales Agreement Activation Date
During creation of Sales Order, we can tie the Sales Order to a Sales Agreement. Sales Agreement pre-stores
information like Customer, Accounting, Pricing, etc.

We can controls how the Sales Agreement get applied (similar to functionality of Qualifierin Price List). At the Main
tab, we can defined Item Context, which controls how the Sales Agreement take effects. At the Pricing tab, it can
links to Price List, which will get defaulted when Sales Agreement is selected.

Note:
Activation Date in Sales Agreement, it is the effective start date
(OE_BLANKET_LINES_ALL.START_DATE_ACTIVE), it ties to Request Date at the order line.

[OM] R12: Intercompany Pricing
After enabling Advance Pricing for Intercompany, we can have intercompany AR invoice price different from trade
invoice price.

e.g.
A & B represent 2 different OUs within same organization.
A sells to B.
B sells to external customer.

B is defined as internal customer for A. A will issue Intercompany AR invoice to B.

We can define interco price list to be tied to the internal customer B.

[BOM] Delete Groups
I was trying to delete a component from a Bill. When i clicked on Delete button, "Delete Component" popped up and
prompted me to enter " Name" and "Description", a button named "New Group" is situated next to the "Name" field.
How can i proceed from there?

"Delete Groups", a control built in in BOM module to trace what and when a record has been deleted. In short, each
deletion is traceable by the Delete Group name.

To proceed with the deletion, click "New Group", enter the Name (mandatory) andDescription (optional), save it.
Then, go back to the Navigator, Delete Groups, query out the record by Group Name. On the main screen, you can
see your parent item. Click on "Components " button, you can see the component that you want to delete, with status
"Pending". There are 2 buttons, namely "Delete Group" and "Check Group ".

As the name spelt, "Check Group" is to check the integrity of your Delete Group, concurrent program "Delete Item
Information" will be submitted once you click on that button. View Output, you will see a "Success" message if the
check is OK. Component status will change to "Check ok" after that. NO deletion will be performed.

You can skip "Check Group" and proceed direct to "Delete Group". Once clicked, the same concurrent program will
be submitted and this time deletion will be performed (different parameter from " Check Group"). Component status
will be changed to "Deleted".

The same procedure applied to routing component deletion.

[PO] Receiving for PO with Status "Requires Reapproval"
Standard Purchase Order with 3 lines. I changed line 1 quantity. Header status changed to "Requires Reapproval". In
normal scenario, I cannot do anymore Receiving activity as the status is not Approved. If my changes involved price
and currency, receiving activity will generate accounting entries with wrong amount. A control is needed.

However, for a particular PO, I am able to perform receiving. The PO with "Requires Reapproval" appeared in the
LOV when i tried to perform receiving. I can proceed further to next screen. However, the line i changed (line 1) is not
appearing. Only the lines that i did not change appeared and allow me to do receiving. Why?

The reason being the PO is an consigned PO, which has consigned item (doubled check it from Shipment). System
allows receiving for the unchanged line because receiving activity for consigned PO will NOT generate any
accounting entries, no impacts. Furthermore, transaction price does not refer to PO, but BPA.

[PO] Owner Can Approve
Whether a preparer can approve the document, e.g. PR/PO depends on setup in Setup ->Purchasing -> Document
Types, if "Owner Can Approve" flag is check, preparer can approve by himself. Means, preparer just need to click
"Approve... " and "OK" button, the document will be approved (assume approval limit is satisfied).

However, if preparer wants to use hierarchy other than default hierarchy, he/she needs to specified the
"Forward To" person to himself. PO will be first changed to "Pre-Approved" status before it get approved
eventually.

[PO] Item Not Found During Purchase Requisition (PR) Creation
In a Operation Unit (OU), I have 2 inventory organization (inventory child type), e.g. OrgA & OrgB. I need to raise a
PR to purchase ItemC under OrgB. In Item setup, ItemC is created in Inventory Master org, and assigned to
OrgB. Purchasable flag has been checked in both Inventory Master and OrgB. When i keyed in the item during PR
creation, item not found, why?

The reason being the OrgA was assigned in Financial Options setup (Setup ->Organizations -> Financial
Options), Supplier - Purchasing, Inventory Organization field. If OrgA is assigned, only item assigned to OrgA can be
found in the LOV.

We can setup Inventory Master org in each OU, then assign the Inventory Master org in the Financial Options.
From there, we can choose any items that was created under the Inventory Master org.

[INV] Pending Transactions Table -
MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP
An excerpt from a good Oracle Support note [ID 294391.1]:

Transaction Mode Number / Description
NULL or 1: Online Processing
2: Concurrent Processing
3: Background Processing
8: Internal Processing (Not visible in the pending transactions form)

EXPLANATION
Here is an explanation of each:
NULL or 1: Online Processing
Online processing is used by the Oracle Applications to immediately process records. This does not require that a
concurrent program be run. The Transaction Manager does not process transactions marked for online processing.
2: Concurrent Processing
Transactions marked as concurrent transaction mode are processed by a dedicated transaction worker to explicitly
process a set of transactions. The Transaction Manager does not process transactions marked for concurrent
processing.
3: Background Processing
Interface transactions marked for Background processing will be picked up by the transaction manager polling
process and assigned to a transaction worker. These transactions will not be processed unless the transaction
manager is running.
8: Internal Processing
Transaction mode 8 is not a mode normally visible to the user as it is used for internal processing. Transactions with
this mode are not visible in the Pending transactions form. Transaction_mode of 8 is used internally to identify if
records came from the interface table to the pending table or came directly into the pending table.
......
In short, resetting of transaction_mode to 3 will allow Inventory Manager to reprocess the pending records
Sample SQL:
update mtl_material_transactions_temp
set process_flag = 'Y',
lock_flag = 'N',
transaction_mode = 3,
error_code = NULL,
error_explanation = NULL
where process_flag in ('Y','E');

At Help -> Diagnostics -> Custom Code -> Personalize, you can customize the form by using the event
triggered Actions, either set a property, or display a custom message, launch a form or even submit a concurrent
program. It is a scaled down version of all functions available in typical Oracle Form Builder, but it is still
powerful. More importantly, you can manage your customization in a better manner.

[PO] Can I Cancel a "In Process" Purchase Requisition (PR)?
Yes.

Oracle Support references:
"As per functionality we allow cancel and Finally Close actions on the requisitions that are in "In Process" status. This
is because the requisition is an internal document and Cancel and Finally Close will have no difference in the
treatment of the requisition after the action..." -Note:183984.1

"Purchasing lets you cancel or final close a requisition or requisition line before your manager approves it or before a
buyer places it on a purchase order..." - Note:223856.1

[PO] Contract Purchase Agreement (CPA) - Controls at Amount
Agreed
Would I-Procurement (IPROC) validates if the release amount is more than the "Amount Agreed" in a CPA?

IPROC still allows PR and PO to be created, and there is no validation, till the PO get submitted for Approval. Only
at the PO approval time, system will validate the total releases amount against " Amount Agreed". If total releases
more than "Amount Agreed", PO will not get approved.

[PO] PR that Uses Currency Other Than Functional Currency
When you are creating a PR, functional currency is always defaulted at the header level. Price at the "Line" tab will
always show functional currency as well. If you need to key in your currency using other currency, go " Currency" tab,
under "Foreign Currency", "Price" field, enter you price in foreign currency you specified. The conversion will be done
automatically (provide you have the exchange rate defined).

At table level, PO_REQUISITION_LINES_ALL table has the following price and currency fields:

UNIT_PRICE - price in functional currency
CURRENCY_CODE - foreign currency code (if applicable)
RATE - foreign currency exchange rate (if applicable)
CURRENCY_UNIT_PRICE - price in foreign currency (if applicable)

[PO] Cancel Requisition When Cancel PO
When you setup your Purchasing Option, Cancel Requisitions to Optionally, you can see a checkbox for "Cancel
Requisitions " displayed at your Control Document form (Tool -> Control -> Cancel) during your PO cancellation
process.

If you check it, Requisition amount will be updated to zero, status remains "Approved". No further action can be
taken.

If you uncheck it, you still can perform amendment on the PR once PR has been returned to preparer.

[INV] Negative Quantity for Inventory? Is it Allowed?
Oracle allows it.

Under Inventory responsibility, navigate Setup -> Organizations -> Parameters .Inventory Parameters tab, look for
"Allow Negative Balances" field.

You are allowed to ship confirm even you have no stock on hand! Excerpt from Metalink,
In order to pick release and drive inventory negative, the ct must make their items non-reservable. For reservable
items, the order gets backordered when not enough quantity is on hand. For non-reservable items, the orders get
updated to status of Staged, and the user enters the source subinventory, revision, lot, and locator in the Shipping
Transactions form. Ship confirm allows users to drive inventory negative when the Allow Negative Stock checkbox is
checked.

[PO] Rename Hierarchy, What Will be Affected?
PR or PO that were "In Process" will not be affected, as the approval list has been created since PR/PO submitted for
approval. If the renamed hierarchy is the default hierarchy for certain document type, it will get updated
"automatically" as Oracle uses internal structure id to identify default hierarchy. Even name has been changed,
structure id remain the same.

In short, there is no major impacts for hierarchy rename.

In "Approval Assignment" form, to find existing assignment for a position, I clicked the "Search" button, paste my

[PO] Disable a Category
There is a "Enable" check box on the form. But you are not allowed to change, even there are no pending PR or PO

back date, means entering the date before current date. Once you enter the "Inactive On" to today's date, user will
not able to select this category with immediate effect.

What about PR / PO that was created before hand? Any impact?

[ALRT] [ALERT MGR] 2 Types of Alert
Periodic
Send email or run OS/SQL script or submit concurrent program once alert was triggered on periodic basis. Means it
will triggered by time, e.g. Once a day, Every N day, Every Business Day, etc.

Event
Send email or run OS/SQL script or submit concurrent program once alert was triggered on event basis. This event is
referring to database trigger event, it will triggered "After Insert" or "After Update" of a database table.
No comments:

[ALRT] Event Alert
For Event alert, once you verified and saved it, Oracle will create a database trigger (db object) on the table you
specified.

For example,
Table name in the Event alert is PO_ABC.

A database trigger will be created with name ALR_PO_ABC_UAR or ALR_PO_ABC_IAR. UAT denotes "Update
After Record", whereas IAR denotes "Insert After Record".

Once Alert is fired, this database trigger will spawn (submit) a concurrent request with name starts with the table
name, e.g. PO_ABC (Check Event Alert). The concurrent request will check SQL in Alert to determine whether to
perform any action.

[PO] Emergency PO - Error During AutoCreate
Emergency PO feature is only available in iProcurement. But, "we" did some customization on the core module to
make use of this feature. In standard Oracle, emergency PO number is stored in EMERGENCY_PO_NUM field
inPO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL table. We have a custom form for emergency PR, which once submitted for
approval, a emergency PO number will be generated and stored in EMERGENCY_PO_NUM field.
DuringAutoCreate process, this PO number will be defaulted and greyed off (disabled field). This works fine.

Until 1 day, user reported an error message during AutoCreate, "This line cannot be put on the document because
the emergency purchase order number for this line is different than the emergency purchase order number(s) for the
other line(s).". Why?

The reported PR has 2 lines, line 1 already been AutoCreate to a PO. User tried to add another line onto the same
PO, the above message appeared. During troubleshooting, I found out that the PO created was not a ePO, there is
no PO field to identify (except the EMERGENCY_PO_NUM field at PR header), I confirmed this by verifying the ePO
number, which we have customized. But, there was a value in EMERGENCY_PO_NUMfield, and it is different from
the PO number that was created earlier. Something wrong in our customization, which updated
the EMERGENCY_PO_NUM field after the first AutoCreate. During the second AutoCreate, System is expecting the
value inEMERGENCY_PO_NUM field to be equal to the PO number which was created earlier. To rectify this, I did
date patch to set EMERGENCY_PO_NUM field to NULL.

[PO] Vacation Rules
You are a busy PR approver and plan to go vacation the following week. You do not have chance to approve PR
during your absence. What you can do is to setup a Vacation Rulues so that you can delegate the task to your
backup person. Your backup person will approve/reject on your behalf. Once the backup person performed the
action, notification will flow as per original path.

Note that you can set the Start Date and End Date of your rule, and you can specify time as well.

[SYS] No Organizations Are Currently Defined
After setting a new Operating Unit (OU), I encountered this problem when i tried to open
any forms that are related to Inventory Organization.
Steps I used in organization setup (has to be in sequential mode):
(1) Setup new Set of Book
(2) Setup new Location
(3) Setup new Legal Entity
(4) Setup new Operating Unit
(5) Setup new Inventory Organization
(6) Setup new responsibility
(7) Setup Profile Option for new responsibility

Everything is smooth till I click on the "Change Organization" in my new responsibility. It
prompted me "No Organizations are currently defined.". These happened to other
forms that use inventory organization as well, such as Material Transactions, Receipts,
etc.
This has something to do with Organization Access. After checked Organization
Access,ORG_ACCESS table is empty. Setup has been verified many times, nothing
was missed out.
We finally discovered it was a customization on standard view, ORG_ACCESS_VIEW.
This is root cause of the issue.

Setup -> Items -> Templates

First enter a new template name at Item Template form, then go Tool -> Copy Template. Select the template name
that you want to copy from.

Note that you can't copy item template from 1 inventory org to another. You can only copy item template within the
same inventory organization. If source Item Template has no organization tied to it, it can be copied to any
organizations.

[OM] Launch Pick Release Failed
My Sales Order (SO) has been booked successfully. Order header status is Booked, order line status is Awaiting
Shipping. Quantity on-hand is sufficient. At Shipping Transactions form, I performed "Launch Pick Release", order
line status remainedAwaiting Shipping, it did not change to Picked.

No warning or error was prompted.

In my case, it was due to Credit Hold. Go Order Header -> Actions -> Additional Order Information, I saw Hold with
message "Credit check hold applied. Overall limit exceeded.". GoActions -> Release Holds to release hold before
proceed to Pick Release.

In order to perform Release Holds action, you need to be given authorities. Get the Holds Name and check the
authorizations at Setup -> Orders -> Holds.

[SYS] Java Cache Caused Internet Explorer Crashed
I was trying to launch the Oracle form (in Java applet), IE crashed. I tried on Firefox, it did not get launched at all.
Restarted my system, problem still there.

Before I decided to call Helpdesk to examine my system, I found a trick that can save me a lot of time dealing with
Helpdesk.

Checked "Control Panel", "JInitiator 1.3.1.29" (your version might be different), "Cache" tab. My total file size in
JAR Cache folder has exceeded the limit. I have then removed all cache files in that folder, increased my size limit,

[OM] Pick List Ship-To Address Not Get Updated
It is an address issue.

The Ship-to Address appears on the Pick List (for ISO) is retrieved fromwsh_locations table. As for IR-ISO setup,
ship-to-address comes from Customeraddress instead of Location address.

When we updates the customer address, hz_locations table get update. By right, bothhz_locations table
and wsh_locations table should be synchronized automatically. But, in my case, it was not. Business event
"oracle.apps.ar.hz.Location.update" is enabled, everything else is fine. But the synchronize is not happening.

Logged a tar and Oracle came back with suggestion to run "Import Shipping Location" program in OM responsibility
to synchronize the table. These was their reply (copied from some another article).

"...The 'Import Shipping locations' concurrent program imports all of the internal and external
locations from HR/HZ LOCATIONS tables into the WSH_LOCATIONS tables.

This program should be executed at least once when upgrading to 11.5.9. After the
upgrade, it should not be required to rerun this concurrent program since any
changes in the HR/HZ LOCATIONS tables are automatically synced up with WSH
tables.

There are a few exceptions when Import Shipping Locations concurrent program should be run. These exceptions
would be only when any updates to a
Customer's information does not get reflected when creating a new sales order
or when you find any inconsistencies in Location records when interfaced from
HR to WSH Locations, such as an incorrect country code..."

Question is the auto-sync is not happening and Oracle can't give reason why.

End up I have to run "Import Shipping Location" program to solve the issue (and it took 3.5 hours to complete with the
Start-Date value = sysdate-4).

[SYS] Trick - Maximise Form
Due to "bad" design of Oracle Form UI, the grid information in Oracle form will not maximise eventhough I maximised
the form. 1 typical example is Material Transactionform.
There a trick to "force" the grid to grow bigger, and then fit to the maximised form.
First, maximise the form.
Then, move the mouse in between 2 fields until a double-headed arrow appears.
Double Click.

[AR] Customer - Types & Address
Oracle has 2 customer types, Person or Organization.
Person is mainly use for retails business whereas Organization is used for company that has company as target
customer.
Customer is differenciated by Party Number and Customer Number. If Customer TypeisPerson, Party
Number refers to Person Number, if Customer Type is Organization, Party Number refers to Organization Number.
Party Number and Customer Number are cross OUs and organizations, this means the same customer just need to
be defined once. In different OUs, the Party Number andCustomer Number will be shared and it will be differenciated
by Customer Address.

[OM] HL Pick Slip SRS Report -> Completed Warning
After Pick Release action, pick slip report will get submitted, but it often completed warning.

How to know if actual picking taken place? Picking could be failed or success even the program completed warning.
E.g. For printing issue, even it completed warning, but the stock has been picked.

From Requests list, click on the request, view Output. If there is records there, it was successfully picked.
Another faster way, observe the request in the list, if the 4th and 5th parameters have value, it is successful.

[OM] Unable to Pick Release Internal Sales Order (ISO)
ISO was created from Internal Requisition (IR), order line status is "Awaiting Shipping", shipment line status is "Ready
to Release", next step is "Pick Release". Performed Pick Release, shipment line status is not changed. As usual, no
error shown in the log.

After investigation, found onhand no issue, inventory period is opened, what else could be the cause?

Ans: The ISO has tied to subinventory ABC, but the manual Pick Release is picked from subinventory DEF. So,
change the "Pick From" subinventory to ABC, problem solved. Note: ISO subinventory is defaulted from IR
subinventory.

[GL] Receiving Journal Transfer to GL by Journal Import
Found a good article on Receiving (Purchasing) Journal transfer to GL by Journal Import.

Related SQL:
SELECT *
FROM apps.gl_interface
WHERE user_je_source_name = 'Purchasing'
AND user_je_category_name = 'Receiving'

In R11i for Inventory Destination Transactions, the Receiving Transaction Processor Debits and Credits the
Receiving Account and Inventory AP Accrual Account respectively in GL_INTERFACE and
RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER. These Transactions in GL_INTERFACE are identified with
User_je_source_name ='Purchasing' and user_je_category_name 'Receiving'. In RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER
these transactions are identified by column accrual_method_flag ='O'
In R11i for Period End Transactions ie Transactions with accrue_on_receipt_flag ='N' in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL,
no accounting transactions are generated on receipt of goods. The Receipt_Accrual_Period-End program generates
the Accounting Entries in GL_INTERFACE and RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER simultaneously by Debiting
Charge Account and Crediting Expense AP Accrual Account. In GL_INTERFACE the Transactions are identified by
column names user_je_source_name='Purchasing' and user_je_category_name ='Acccrual'. In
RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER the Transactions are identified by column Accrual_Method_flag ='P'.

In R11i both On Line Transactions and Period End Transactions are moved from GL_INTERFACE to
GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES,GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE_LINES by JOURNAL IMPORT.

In R12 GL_INTEFACE TABLE is no longer directly used for Receiving Transactions. The Receiving Transaction
Processor only populates the RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER with Inventory Destination Transactions. The
Receipt_Accrual_Period-End program also only populates the RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER with Expense
Destination Period End Accruals.

Create Accounting-Receiving Concurrent program from Cost Mangement Responsibility transfers the journals in
RCV_RECEIVING_SUB_LEDGER to SLA Tables. Once the accounting entries are created in receiving subledger for
the receiving transactions, Create Accounting process gets started depending on the profile option CST:Receiving
Accounting option and the encumbrance set up.

On submitting this program, it spawns the Accounting program which will do the validations and picks the data from
table rcv_receiving_sub_ledger and process it according to the accrual method set for the POs

Depending on the accrual method and the value for profile SLA:Disable journal import, this spawned program
"Accounting program" inserts the data into gl_interface first and then calls the Journal import program and posting
program and populates the accounting events in subledger table xla_ae_headers and entries in xla_ae_lines and
xla_distribution_links.
If there is any problem with the Journal import, the data will get rolled back from gl_interface. Once the Journal import
is completed, data will get populated in gl_import_references,gl_je_headers and gl_je_lines.

......

Refer to Metalink Note 827125.1 for details.

In order to increase the availability, we need to remove the job allocation.

Go to "Transact Move Orders" menu, go to "Pick Wave" tab, "Work Order" section, enter the job number, query the

[OM] OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL -> SOLD_TO_ORG_ID and
SHIP_TO_ORG_ID
At the Order Header table, SOLD_TO_ORG_ID refers to customer_id whereasSHIP_TO_ORG_ID is
the ORGANIZATION_ID from OE_SHIP_TO_ORGS_V. From theSHIP_TO_ORG_ID field, we can trace back the
actual ship-to address for a particular order.

Before we can use OE_SHIP_TO_ORGS_V view in sql, we have to first initialize the view. However, we can skip it by
going direct to the tables.

--to get actual ship to address for a Sales Order

IR Creation
I have Requisitions Preferences as follows.

Destination Type: Inventory
Organization: A1
Location: A1Location
Subinventory: A1Sub
Source: Inventory
Organization: A2

Click Apply. Exit Requisitions form.

Open Requisitions form, select Type as Internal Requisition, tab. The above Preferenceswill be defaulted.

Enter the item code at line level, APP-PO-14736 error prompted, my source organization is overwritten to A1,
source subinventory has the value of A1Sub. Why?

Checked Item and Item Transaction Defaults, nothing special was found. Finally, drilled down to Subinventories level.
For A1Sub subinventory, there existItem Subinventories link. For the item code i entered, the Sourcing
Organization is A1 and Subinventory is A1Sub. These value get defaulted to sourcing org and subinv after item code
was entered (with field exit) in Requisitions form. As the result, sourcing subinv and deliver-to subinv is the same,
which leads to above error.

Solution:
Remove this Item Subinventories defaulting, or
Manual correct the sourcing org and subinv at Requisitions form level, or
Change to another Destination Subinventory
