Generating Excel Outputs from existing standard Oracle Reports 6i Output

Most end-users use Excel as a very generic tool, because of their familiarity

and the control in analysing data using the power of MS Excel.

There is a trick to capture Oracle Reports output (text output) into a excel

sheet.

Basic Steps :

1) Set the output format for the report to XML

2) Run the report to generate output.

3) Save the output file locally as a XML file.

4) Open the file using MS Excel.

5) To make it more beautiful, you may use a MS Excel Template.

The Excel Templates can be used to do complex data analysis and

formatting. Displayed example below is a simple excel template, to make

the point.

Conversion (Data Migration) of Invoices in Receivables

Whenever we are going in for implementation of Receivables module, we

have to consider the necessity of bringing in customer open balances from

the old system to Oracle Receivables.

Some of the key questions that needs to be addressed before we take up a

conversion activity. This is just a sample list and not an exhaustive one:

1. What are the different types of invoices in existing system Provide invoice

samples? (invoices, credit/ debit memos, commitments, chargebacks)

2. Do we need to migrate only open invoices?

3. Do we migrate closed invoices also, if yes, then for what time period?

4. Please explain the invoice numbering mechanism? Is it automatic?

5. What are the interfaces from/to your existing receivables system?

6. Will the old system still be in place for querying and reporting purpose?

One can adopt one of the following three strategies for conversion:

1. Consolidate all the open balances customer-wise and create a single open

invoice for each customer in the new Oracle system. The advantage of this

system is that it is quite easy and not data intensive and makes good

business sense in case of small businesses with very few customers. The

major demerit of this approach is that later on one cannot track the

individual invoices which the customer had sent and can become an audit

issue also. In case of dispute over payment, this invoice will remain open till

the dispute is resolved. Also, aging of invoices and dunning history will be

lost.

2. Bring in all the open and partially paid invoices, credit/debit memos into

the new system. Migrate all the unapplied and partially applied receipts to

the new system. The advantage of this process of conversion is that you can

track all open invoices individually and apply the correct receipt to correct

invoice. Also, the conversion effort will be moderately low compared to case

if you migrate all open and closed invoices. The disadvantage of this

approach is that you cannot have a track of closed invoices in the new

system. Also, it would be tough to handle scenarios where there is a dispute

regarding incorrect receipt application, etc. This is the most common

approach taken for receivables invoice, credit/debit memo and receipt

migration.

3. Migrate all open and closed invoices to the new system. Reapply the

migrated receipts to invoices in the new system. This approach makes sense

if your receivables data is quite small else the effort involved in migrating all

closed invoices and credit memos to the new system does not make much

business sense.

The next question that arises is how we should migrate the invoices,

credit/debit memos and receipts to the new system. Oracle provides

standard interfaces to load the same. We can also use tools like Dataloader

or manually key in the data into Oracle.

In this article i will talk of invoice, credit/debit memo conversion only. Prior

to invoice migration, customer migration should be over apart from other

pre-requisites. Following is the list of pre-requisites that should be

completed prior to invoice, credit/debit memo conversion:

•Set-up of Customer Payment Terms should be complete

•Set-up of Currencies should be complete (this is necessary in case you have

foreign currency invoices also)

•Set-up of Transaction Types should be complete

•Set-up of Accounting Rules should be complete

•Set-up of Tax rates and Tax codes should be complete

•Set up for sales representative should be complete

•Set up for debtor area should be complete

•Set up for income category should be complete

•Automatic customer invoice numbering should be set to 'No'

•Customer and Customer address should be migrated in the system

•Disable the Invoice interface purge program so that the data successfully

imported should not get purged in the interface table.

•Set up for invoice batch source name should be complete

In the next step extract Invoice data from the legacy files and using SQL

loader populate the interface tables RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL and

RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL. Submit the Auto Invoice open

interface program. Data from the two interface tables will be uploaded to

the following base tables using the Invoice open interface program:

•RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL

•RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINES_ALL

•RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DIST_ALL

•RA_BATCHES_ALL

•RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_SALESREPS_ALL

•AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL

•AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL

•RA_INTERFACE_ERRORS_ALL

Ensure that the Purge Interface check box is not checked when you submit

the Autoinvoice program. In the Autoinvoice errors form you can see the

error corresponding to failed records. Correct the errors in the interface

table and rerun the Autoinvoice program. Submit the Autoinvoice Purge

Program separately. Only records that have been successfully processed by

Autoinvoice are purged.

Using autoinvoice you can migrate invoices, credit/debit memos and on-

account credits into Oracle. However, you have to set grouping rules

(Navigation > Setup > Transactions > Autoinvoice > Grouping Rule) to

group lines to create one transaction and ordering rules (Navigation >

Setup > Transactions > Autoinvoice > Line Ordering Rules) to determine

Troubleshooting the Projects to Receivables Interface

Troubleshooting the Projects to Receivables Interface

This feature is for anyone using Oracle Projects and Receivables 11.5.10 and

beyond. There were several new features introduced to Projects 10.5.10

(Family Pack M), which now require additional configurations for the

Receivables interface to work.Here are few quick tipts consolidated from

the Metalink notes and user guides to remember what to do

Open Periods

Make sure to open respective accounting periods in Receivables. As

Receivables Manager, navigate to Control > Accounting > Open/Close

Periods.

Retention Error

You may not be using retention or multi-currency in Project Billing, but you

still receive the “Transaction Code: TRA OU Level Retention Accounting

flag N… Some transactions are disabled. Please Check auto-accounting

setup” error when running the PRC: Interface Invoices to Receivables

program (PATTAR).

To resolve the error you need to enable the AutoAccounting Assignments

for Unbilled Retention Account and Rounding Account.

As Projects Billing Super User:

Navigate to Setup > AutoAccounting > Assign

Query up function ‘Revenue and Invoice Accounts’

Define Segment Rule Pairings for the Unbilled Retention Account

Define Segment Rule Pairings for the Rounding Account

Make sure to enable the Function Transactions!

Again, you need to do this even if you do not intend to enable retention and

multi-currency billing in your Implementation Options.

Sales Credit Type Rejection

You might get a ‘No sales credit type at Implementation or Projec Level’

rejection when running the PRC: Interface Invoices to Receivables program

(PATTAR).

In order to resolve this error as Projects Billing Super User:

Navigate to Implementation Options

Select ‘Exchange Rate Type’ in the Currency tab

Select ‘Sales Credit Type’ in the Billing tab

Transaction Source and Transaction Type Errors

The seeded Project Transaction Source and Project Transaction Types

might be incomplete. Make sure to review and update these for your setting

you defined in the Implementation Options > Billing tab. The source It is

going to be ‘PROJECTS INVOICES’ (if new 11i or R12 implementation,

or ‘PA INVOICES’ if upgraded from 10.7) and Transaction Types are going

to be ‘Projects Invoice’ and ‘Projects Credit Memo’ (11i and beyond) or ‘PA

Invoice’ and ‘PA Credit Memo’ (10.7) respectively.

As Receivables Manager:

Navigate to Transaction Sources: Setup > Transactions > Sources

Query up your Transactions Source you defined in the Implementation

Options > Billing tab

Make sure the Reference Field Default Value field

= ‘interface_header_attribute1′

Make sure the Standard Transaction Type = ‘Projects Invoice’

Make sure the Credit Meno Batch Source = ‘PROJECTS INVOICES’

Also navigate to Transaction Types: Setup > Transactions > Types

Query up ‘Projects Invoice’ transaction type

Make sure the Credit memo Type = ‘Projects Credit Memo’

Oracle HRMS enables you to enter and track people recors when they apply

for a job or when they leave organization.HRMS allows you to enter ,

maintain,report of employess information.

Business Process in HRMS

The following modules are intergrated in Oracle HRMS

1.Hiring & Deployment

2.Recruitment

3.Career Management

4.Training & Development

5.Compensation & Benefits



6.Time & Labour

7.Payroll Processiong

8.Organization & Resource Planning

Work Structure

Work structure are independent of the people who work in enterprise. and

it suppots Enterprise and employee structure such as Business groups and

legal entities and also contains grade structure, pyroll groups,jobs and

positions.

Location

Locations represents physical site where employees work.The location types

could be

Global Availble across all BG

Business Group only availble in BG

Jobs and Positions

Jobs and positions to represents the different roles that a person can

perform in enterprise.

Job is generic role within BG

They are independent of ant single organization.

Exists for all Organizations.

Positions

Positions is specific role or function exist in only one organization.Position

includes Jobs and Organization.

Positions are used to show spcific posts within org.

Using position contril functionality can manage positions.

Grades

Grades indicates seniority level in an enterprise

Grades and Pay

HRMS supports direct and indirect relationship between grades and Pay



Person Types in HRMS

HRMS store information about different group of peoples such as

employees,applicants and people external to your enterprise.Using person

Types you can restrict access to records of certain group of people

HRMS uses a unique identifier called as Employee Number to identify every

employee in BG.

Business Group

Business group defines a complete set of HR data and linked with one

legislative processing like payrool and benefits . But oracle HRMS come

with predefined Business groups which is useful who do not intedent to use

HR in Apps.

Personal Information

Every enterprise must be able to record personal information for its

employee,applicants and contacts,So HRMS allow you update and report

employee information.

Addresses

Employee must have only one primary addres on record.But you can enter

as many addresses ad mecessary for each person.Each Country has its own

national address style.

Tracking

By using web-based Manager Self service to enter some information like

employee history,roles and employee data etc...

Employee Assignment

The assignment represents the way employee work in enterprise.The

assignment is the central concept that related to the structure in which

employes works.

Each assignment has employess assignment number that uniqely identifies

assignment. When employees change their locations or job these changes

are dtaetracked.

Assignment stastuses




1.Active

2.Suspended

3.Terminated

4.Ended

Employee Development

You can Record work choice,relocation,preferred work hours and work

schedule.

Person Types

HRMS supports with predefined set of system person types ease person

typa has its own user name. These are 8 types.

Retiree

Former Spouse

Surviving Family Member

Surviving Spouse

Former Family Member

Beneficiary

Dependent

Partcipant

Terminate Employee

When employee leaves organization terminate the person record action

changes the person type to Ex-Employee and automatically ends all

assignments for the person.You cannot terminates an employee who has

future-dated assignments.



In oracle HRMS the following DFF's not allows you to change the

Definitions. These are used by product Development to deliver std

functionality for HRMS.

d)Orderby..




1) Implicit: declared for all DML and pl/sql statements.

By default it selects one row only.

2) Explicit: Declared and named by the programmer.Use explicit cursor to

individually process each row returned by a Multiple statements, is called

ACTIVE SET. Allows the programmer to manually control explicit cursor in

the

Pl/sql block




Confine mode

On: child objects cannot be moved outside their enclosing parent objects.

Off: child objects can be moved outside their enclosing parent objects.

Flex mode:

On: parent borders "stretch" when child objects are moved against them.

Off: parent borders remain fixed when child objects are moved against

them.

BIND Vs LEXICAL




BIND Vs LEXICAL

BIND VARIABLE :

-- are used to replace a single value in sql, pl/sql

-- bind variable may be used to replace expressions in select, where, group,

order

by, having, connect by, start with cause of queries.

-- bind reference may not be referenced in FROM clause (or) in place of

reserved words or clauses.

LEXICAL REFERENCE:

-- you can use lexical reference to replace the clauses appearing AFTER

select,

from, group by, having, connect by, start with.

-- you can’t make lexical reference in a pl/sql statmetns.



Oracle Reports(D2k 6i): This is the most used tool for reporting on

Oracle Applications. Most of reports customizations are built with this tool.

Once customized the output of the report can be in Excel (Not group By

Report), word, Acrobat documents or text format.

Oracle Discoverer:This is an intuitive tool for creating reports and

performing on-line analysis.The flexibility of this tool allows the user to

create cross tab reports that perform like pivot tables in Excel

Oracle XML Publisher: This is a new Oracle tool for reporting. It

enables users to utilize a familiar desktop tool, like MS Word or MS Excel,

to create and maintain their own report, XML Publisher merges the custom

templates with the concurrentrequest extracts data to generate output in

RTF, PDF, HTML and EXCEL.

Business Intelligence System (BI): This tool provides helps managers

to take the right decision with the daily data that is uploaded on their

systems.

This tools to provide high level information to run their business such as the

profitability of a particular business unit.

FSG Reports (Financial Statement Generator): Very powerful report

building tool for Oracle General Ledger. Benefits of using this tool are that a

user can generate financial reports, and schedule reports to run

automatically. The only Disadvantage of this tool is that it is only available

for the general ledger responsibility and can be used to see only financial

account balances.

RXi Report:(Variable reports) :With this tool a user has the ability to




print the same report with multiple layouts.This tool is most used on Oracle

Financials Applications>

FNDLOAD

FNDLOAD

when we are working in oracle application development/implementation

project? The equally important AOL data Migration takes place necessary to

synchronize the data across databases instance during installation and

upgarde.

Using FNDLOAD can download data from an application entity into an

editable text file, which can be uploaded to another database.The

Conversion between database format and text file format is specified by a

configuration file.

What can be Done?

�It can be done following list

� Concurrent Programs, Executables

� Request Groups, Request Sets

� Profile Options

� Key and Descriptive Flexfields

� Menus and Responsibilities

� Forms and Form Functions

� Attachments

� Messages

� Value Sets and Values

� Lookup Types

� User Responsibilities

� Printer Definitions

� FND Dictionary

� Help Configuration

� Document Sequences

� Concurrent Manager Schedules

Advantages when using FNDLOAD

1. Because downloaded data is stored in a text file, version administration is

possible

2. No learning curve. this is relief for developer/dbas

3. Fully supported and recommended by Oracle

4. Capture the migrations in a file and use it during installations(log file).

5. Pin-point when something happened and where (database) easily

6. AOL data migration process is now simplified!

Disadvantages

1. Applications patching mechanisms use FNDLOAD heavily possibility of

negative impact is not zero



2. No validation against migrating database/instance sensitive data

The Syntax

To use FNDLOAD, the following syntax is needed.

FNDLOAD apps/appspwd 0 Y mode configfile datafile entity

[parameter1.....]

� The mode is either DOWNLOAD or UPLOAD.

� The configfile is the file that Fndload needs to download on upload data.

� T he data file is the output file, in which the downloaded data is written

� The entity is the entity you want to download,

�

Example of download:

FNDLOADapps/pwd 0 Y DOWNLOAD

${FND_TOP}/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct myfile.ldt \ PROGRAM

CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME= concurrent_program_short_name>

APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=application_short_name

Example of Upload

FNDLOAD apps/pwd 0 Y UPLOAD

${FND_TOP}/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct myfile.ldt -

CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE undocumented parameter

Where is Config File Located

� Configuration files with extension .lct

o On Unix - all the configuration files are in $FND_TOP/patch/115/import

directory

o On Unix Oracle also places the original configuration files in

$FND_TOP/admin/import directory

�Data files with extension .ldt

� The configfiles (.lct) are delivered and maintained by Oracle

� It has entity definitions, parent-child relationships and user input

parameters identified by :NAME

oDownloading a parent automatically downloads all children - (Example)

deactivated then just close it and go to next step.

4) Shipping :

For this we need to go to Shipping Transaction Give the order Number, and

click find

Then we can see the order status.

Then we have to click DELIVERY Tab Button, in the Action LOV

We have to choose, SHIP CONFIRM.

Then four concurrent program will run in the background.

Such As::

1.) INTERFACE TRIP Stop

2.) Commercial Invoice

3.) Packing Slip Report

4.) Bill of Lading

After this concurrent program will complete successfully, we have to run

One more WORKFLOW BACKGROUND PROGRAM.

� If we don’t want to ship all the items, that are PICKED, then we have to



click LINE/LPN tab , then click DETAIL button .

Now, in that form , in the SHIPPING field, we have to enter how Much

quantity of items, we want to ship . The rest remain quantity, that are

Ordered will become backorder quantity .

5) Interfacing with AR :

After WORKFLOW BACKGROUND PROGRAM

Concurrent program will complete successfully, we have to run

AUTO INVOICE MASTER PROGRAM from

RECEIVABLE RESPONSIBILTY. After this program

will complete successfully , we can the invoice details in

RECEIVALE à TRANSACTIONS à TRANSACTIONS. Here in

This Form, we have to give our order number in reference field

And query for the invoice details .Then we can see the invoice details.

Table Level Information:

==========================

Order Entry

• At the header level a record gets inserted into the header table

OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL.

• At the line level, record(s) get inserted into the Line table

OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL.

Terms used in the conventional purchasing system and as referred in Oracle

Purchasing may be different. A brief explanation of the ‘Oracle Purchasing’

terms vis-à-vis the existing terminology is provided the following

paragraphs. These terms are extensively used in documenting

the ‘Purchasing - To Be’ flows and it is recommended that the various users

of this system get acquainted with the same.

Requestor: Any Employee who requires specific items to meet his

operational needs. Requestor may or may not have the system access to

enter the on-line requisitions. Requestor with no computer access will give

their requisitions manually on pre-printed requisition form to the

requisition ‘Preparer’ within the concerned department.

Preparer: Employee in a department with the responsibility of entering

Purchase Requisitions in the system.

Approver: Employee with the responsibility and authority of approving the

requisition and / or the Quotation Analysis Document and / or the

Purchase Orders.

Buyer: Employee in the Purchase Department with the responsibility of

entering the Requests for Quotation, the Quotations received from the

Supplier and the Purchase Orders in the new system.

Request For Quotation (RFQ): Synonym for ‘Inquiry’. RFQs are sent to the

vendors, requesting them for their quotations for the items / services

required to be purchased.

Quotation: Quotations are the ‘Vendor Offers’ for the required items /

services.

Quotation Analysis: It is a ‘Comparative Statement of Quotations’.



Standard Purchase Order: Standard Purchase Orders are created for

purchase of various items / services where details such as the quantity to be

purchased and the negotiated costs.

Blanket Purchase Agreement: Blanket purchase agreements are signed with

the vendor for the supply of goods / services over a period. Such agreements

can be used when details of the goods / services you plan to buy from a

specific supplier in a period are known, but you do not yet know the details

of your delivery schedules. They can also be used to specify negotiated

prices for your items before actually buying them.

Blanket Release: You can issue a Blanket Release against a Blanket

Purchase Agreement to place the actual order with the vendor. The Releases

should be within the Blanket Agreement effectivity dates.

Planned Purchase Order: It is a long term agreement committing to buy

items / services from a single source. The tentative delivery schedule is

given to the vendor along with other details like quantities and estimated

costs.

Schedule Release: This document is issued to the vendor against a Planned

Purchase Order to place the actual order. This document will confirm the

specific quantity and delivery date to the vendor.

Contract Purchase Agreements: Contract Purchase Agreements may be

entered into with suppliers to agree on specific terms and conditions

without indicating the goods or services that will actually be purchased.

Standard Purchase Orders can be issued at a later date referencing such

Contracts.

Purchasing Cycle:

Requisitions: Requisitions generated by various departments of your

organization. They basically say that ‘I WANT THIS ITEM’ mentioning the

item quantity and required date

Request for Quotation: The purchasing person sends the requirement to

various suppliers giving details of the item and can also specify own terms

and conditions such as payment terms, price etc.

Quotations: The Supplier responds to the RFQ and sends their quotations

mentioning details of the item and all their terms and conditions regarding

payment terms, discount, delivery schedules, etc.

Purchase Orders: The quotations received from various suppliers are

compared and PO made for them in which all the terms and conditions of

the firm are mentioned as regards to Payment, price, etc.

Receiving Goods: Suppliers ship the goods, which are received in your

organization

Payments: After clearance from the receiving department about the receipt




of goods, payments are made to the suppliers.

Close the PO: After the items are received, payments made you can close the

PO.

In this article we will see what a Blanket Purchase Agreement is and how we

can import them along with the price breaks.

Overview of Blanket Purchase Agreements:You create blanket purchase

agreements when you know the detail of the goods or services you plan to

buy from a specific supplier in a period, but you do not yet know the detail

of your delivery schedules. You can use blanket purchase agreements to

specify negotiated prices for your items before actually purchasing them.

Blanket Releases: You can issue a blanket release against a blanket

purchase agreement to place the actual order (as long as the release is

within the blanket agreement effectivity dates. If your purchase agreement

has price breaks, the quantity entered on the release determines what break

price is defaulted into the Price field.

Import Process: The Purchasing Document Open Interface concurrent

program was replaced by two new concurrent programs Import Price

Catalogs and Import Standard Purchase Orders.Import Price Catalogs

concurrent program is used to import Catalog Quotations, Standard

Quotations, and Blanket Purchase Agreements. Import Standard Purchase

Orders concurrent program is used to import Unapproved or Approved

Standard Purchase Orders.

You need to populate PO_HEADERS_INTERFACE and

PO_LINES_INTERFACE to import header and line information into

Purchasing. PO_LINES_INTERFACE table contains both line and

shipment information, and imports data into both the PO_LINES and

PO_LINE_LOCATIONS. The below are the additional columns that are

required in PO_LINES_INTERFACE if you want to import price break

information:

LINE_NUM

SHIPMENT_NUM

QUANTITY

UNIT_PRIC

If you are importing price break information through catalog quotations,

you can also, optionally, populate the following columns in the

PO_LINES_INTERFACE table: MIN_ORDER_QUANTITY

MAX_ORDER_QUANTITY

Lets take an example to better understand.Suppose you want to create a

blanket with one line and two price breaks and the details for the price

break are as below:

1)quantity = 500, price = 10, effective date from '01-JAN-2006' to '31-JUN-

2006'

2)quantity = 500, price = 11, effective date from '01-JUL-2006' to '01-JAN-

2007'



To create the above the BPA, you would create ONE record in

PO_HEADERS_INTERFACE and THREE records in

PO_LINES_INTERFACE

LINE1: It will have only the line information. LINE NUM would be 1.

LINE2: For the first Price Break details but the LINE NUM will be the same

as above i.e 1. SHIPMENT_NUM would be 1 and SHIPMENT_TYPE would

be ‘PRICE BREAK’

LINE3: For the second Price Break details but the LINE NUM will be the

same as above i.e 1. SHIPMENT_NUM would be 2 and SHIPMENT_TYPE

would be ‘PRICE BREAK’ All the line-level records above must have the

same INTERFACE_HEADER_ID.

Useful Shell Script for Oracle Apps

Shell Script Tutorial for Oracle Apps



Steps to Register Shell Script as a concurrent program

Sample Shell Script to copy the file from source to destination

Basic Shell Script Commands

Steps to Register Shell Script as a concurrent program

step 1:

=======

Place the .prog script under the bin directory for your

applications top directory.

For example, call the script ERPS_DEMO.prog and place it under

$CUSTOM_TOP/bin

step 2:

=======

Make a symbolic link from your script to $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr

For example, if the script is called ERPS_DEMO.prog use this:

ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr ERPS_DEMO

This link should be named the same as your script without the

.prog extension.

Put the link for your script in the same directory where the

script is located.

step 3:

=======

Register the concurrent program, using an execution method of

'Host'. Use the name of your script without the .prog extension

as the name of the executable.

For the example above:

Use ERPS_DEMO

step 4:

=======

Your script will be passed at least 4 parameters, from $1 to $4.

$1 = orauser/pwd

$2 = userid(apps)

$3 = username,

$4 = request_id

Any other parameters you define will be passed in as $5 and higher.

Make sure your script returns an exit status also.

How to RETRY , REWIND and UPDATE ATTRIBUTES for Expense Report Workflows

How to RETRY , REWIND and UPDATE ATTRIBUTES for Expense Report

Workflows




RETRY Demo:

Log into Workflow Admin responsibility

Go to Administrator Workflow > Status Monitor

Key in the following values:

Type Internal Name: APEXP

User Key: Expense Report Number

Click Go

Select the Radio button and click on Activity History.

Select the Activity you want to RETRY say “Request Approval from

APPROVER” and click on the Retry button on the top.

Click on Submit button in the next screen.

Confirm the details in the next page by clicking the OK button.

REWIND Demo:

Log into Workflow Admin responsibility

Go to Administrator Workflow > Status Monitor

Key in the following values:

Type Internal Name: APEXP

User Key: Expense Report Number

Click Go

Select the Radio button and click on Activity History.

Select the Activity which you want to REWIND for example say “Request

Approval from APPROVER” and click on the Rewind button on the bottom.

Choose the activity to which you want the workflow to return in the next

screen and select the "Apply" button. This would REWIND the activity.

UPDATE ATTRIBUTES Demo:

In the “Activity History” screen, click on the “Update Attributes” Button at

the bottom. This opens up a page with all the attributes where you could

update the necessary and hit “Apply” button to save the changes.





The mail status of the notification can be SENT, CANCELED, MAIL,

UNAVAIL, ERROR, NULL. Let us see in detail about these and the actions

required to get the notification to SENT status..

SENT: The notification has been successfully sent to the APPROVER.

CANCELED: The system is setup to send the notifications n times (n can be

set in the workflow attributes) with a timeout after 5 days. If the Approver

does not approve or reject within the time frame, the workflow will cancel

the notification automatically and then the notification will end up in the

status CANCELED.

Action: In such cases, RETRY would not work instead ask the preparer to

withdraw and re-

submit the expense report.

MAIL: If the notification is not SENT to the approver, the status would be

MAIL.

Action: Ask the DBA to bounce the workflow. This would solve the problem

most times. But if it doesn’t i.e if the status is still MAIL, then RETRY the

activity ‘Request Approval from APPROVER’ using the Workflow

Administrator responsibility (demo below). If yet not sent, check the

Attributes like Approver’s email etc.

BLANK: Sometimes the value of the status would be NULL.

Action: Sometimes even if the status is BLANK, the notification is sent to

the approver. First check with the Approver to see if the notification is sent.

If not sent, RETRY the activity.

UNAVAIL: This would happen usually when there is problem with the

Approver’s preferences or Email address.

Action: Check the notification preference of the Approver using the below:

SELECT WFU.NAME, WFU.display_name,WFU.notification_preference,

email_address ,wfu.status

FROM WF_USERS WFU

WHERE WFU.name in (‘NAME’) (NAME would be the user_name in

FND_USER table)

The notification_preference can be set to one of the below

MAILTEXT

QUERY

DISABLED

MAILHTM2

MAILHTML

MAILATTH

Make sure that it is set to MAILHTML

Also check if the email address returned in the above query is a valid one

and matches with the one in HR Employee record (hr_employee table),

fnd_user table and the outlook email address.



Also check if the status is ACTIVE in the above query, if the APPROVER is

an existing employee and his FND_USER account is ACTIVE.

FAILED:

Action RETRY would solve this case.

ERROR:

Action: Check the ERROR and act accordingly. Some sample Errors:

Check if the code combinations are all passed in correct and if it exists.

There is something wrong in the data which results in this error. If the

expense report errors out in this Stage i.e it has not passed the validation,

Status in expense report header would not be WEBEXPENSE and hence

cannot see this in AP.

Fill in the appropriate Manager Id (Employee ID), Manager name

Ask the DBA to resend the notification from Workflow mailer. This is due to

RETRY would resolve the problem.

If all the attempts were futile in sending the notification to the Approver,

the last action to resolve would be to ask the approver to go to IExpense

responsibility and approve manually.

Expense report Workflow Notifications Error Handling

In this section we will mainly focus on the notifications that are sent to the

APPROVER for the approval as it is very important to see that such

notifications reach the APPROVER on time so that there is no delay in the

processing of the expense report to avoid late fee enforced by the Credit

Card company. These notifications will have the message_name

as 'OIE_REQ_EXPENSE_REPORT_APPRVL' in wf_notifications table.

The mail status of the notification can be SENT, CANCELED, MAIL,
