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.

When i clicked onDeletebutton, "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 theName(mandatory) andDescription(optional), save it. Then, go back to the Navigator,Delete Groups, query out the record byGroupName. 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.No comments:Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookLabels:[BOM][PO] What Are The Steps Required To Setup An Internal Requisition In Purchasing?Excellant note.

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 anconsigned PO, which has consigned item (doubled check it fromShipment). System allows receiving for the unchanged line because receiving activity for consigned PO will NOT generate any accounting entries, no impacts.

Transaction Mode Number / DescriptionNULL or 1: Online Processing2: Concurrent Processing3: Background Processing8: Internal Processing (Not visible in the pending transactions form)

EXPLANATIONHere is an explanation of each:NULL or 1:Online ProcessingOnline 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 ProcessingTransactions 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 ProcessingInterface 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 ProcessingTransaction 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 recordsSample SQL:update mtl_material_transactions_tempset process_flag = 'Y',lock_flag = 'N',transaction_mode = 3,error_code = NULL,error_explanation = NULLwhere process_flag in ('Y','E');No comments:Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookLabels:[INV][INV] Reservations Interface ManagerWhat does the "Reservations Interface Manager" program do?

The Ship-to Address appears on the Pick List (for ISO) is retrievedfromwsh_locationstable. As for IR-ISO setup, ship-to-address comes fromCustomeraddress instead ofLocationaddress.

When we updates the customer address,hz_locationstable get update. By right, bothhz_locationstable andwsh_locationstable 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 externallocations 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 theupgrade, it should not be required to rerun this concurrent program since anychanges in the HR/HZ LOCATIONS tables are automatically synced up with WSHtables.

There are a few exceptions when Import Shipping Locations concurrent program should be run. These exceptions would be only when any updates to aCustomer's information does not get reflected when creating a new sales orderor when you find any inconsistencies in Location records when interfaced fromHR 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).

Related SQL:SELECT *FROM apps.gl_interfaceWHERE 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.
