Choosing a Tax Package
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 15:58:35 -0500
From: Leah_Dorfman@Millipore.com
Excuse me, I'm taking an informal poll on tax software...
Our current sales and use tax calculation package is not Y2K compliant and the vendor does not have a smooth upgrade path to a version that is both compliant and will work with R11. (We are currently on 10.7 char, moving rapidly to 10.7 GUI on our way to R11 by mid 00.) I am enlisting your experience and advice in light of the magnitude of this decision.
Which Tax package do you use?
Are you happy with the package .... works correctly, routine rate
updates are easily handled, etc.
Are you running the PL/SQL version?
Do you do Sales Tax & VAT in the same instance?
How do you handle Canada's needs?
What reporting package do you use?
What shortcomings are you aware of?
Thank you in advance for replying to my questions. And please don't
reply to the list, if anyone on the list is interested in these
responses I am willing to share them, but let's not clutter everyone's
e-box.
If you prefer to talk, then please call me at (781) 533-2161.

Yes, we have used the Noetix Views for the AR reports. If the reports are
not complex it works great. But if the reports are complicated dealing with
larg chunk of data then query runs awfully slow. I developed few repoerts
using Noetix Views with Report Writer 2.5. Also you can develop the reports
using Cogno's tool.
I hope this may help you.

Greetings Oracle Apps Users!
Has anyone out there ever used ORAXCEL? It is an add-on to microsoft excel
that allows you to connect to an Oracle instance (from excel). It uses
Oracle Objects for OLE instead of ODBC to connect to Oracle. It allows you
to enter sql statements within excel and return the resultant
set to a worksheet. It also allows you to export multiple rows within
a worksheet directly to an Oracle table. Please, if anyone has ever used
this product you can contact me on the side. I've installed it but
have had problems connecting to our db instance and would appreciate
any insight.

Yes I have used this excel add-on and found it quite useful. Although the
shareware version limits you to 250 characters in your sql statement, and
you can't do updates using it. As far as I am aware it would still use your
TNSANAMES file to work out the Database instance name. Is the database name
valid? If you want to talk more contact men directly.

Subject: RE: Oracle Tutor
We used Oracle Tutor. The product consists of various modules (Navigation
explanation (NAVs), Procedure documents (PROCs), Education materials
(EDUCs), and Exercises (LABs). There may be others. These are maintained
as separate documents which can be combined via the TUTOR software into a
desk manual, training manual, etc. You pick the items to be included. The
result is similar to Oracle's training materials. The advantange is that
you can tailor any document to your specific needs. The LABs, for example,
can be modified to reflect your business. You can also use the product to
build documents from scratch. (We did, for EMPAC). Our team did General
Ledger. We modified the EDUCS and LABS to reflect our company's flexfield
structure and eliminated a lot of the repetitious material (there is a
lot!).
We have successfully used the materials for training manuals. We haven't
yet produced the desk manuals.
For General Ledger, TUTOR was a lot of work! And I would guess that GL is
one of the more straight forward applications. Of course, you can make the
documents as simple or detailed as you like.
I am not a fan of the PROCS as Oracle supplies them, at least not for G/L.
I remember reading a 15 to 20 page document that basically said, "If you
can't figure it out, tell your supervisor!"

Subject: RE: Oracle Tutor
Dominic:
We've used Oracle Tutor extensively to document core business processes and
provide end-users with manuals to minimize the amount of face-to-face
training required. Once you get the hang of Oracle Tutor, it's a great
tool. We found that some of our staff just couldn't "think" the way Oracle
Tutor requires you to think when writing procedures. In other words, some
staff catch on quickly; others never quite make the transition.
I wrote approximately 9 PROCS (procedures) for Oracle Projects and about 20
NAVS (navigations). I would estimate it took me 160 hours total. We got
solid help from Oracle on the tool itself and how to write procedures. The
real challenge is understanding the application and how it will be used in
the context of your own business.
Bottom line-we got good value out of the tool, because it forced our
implementation team to really learn the applications they were implementing.
It also forced us to identify key players in the organization that were
going to be responsible for using the applications. On the downside, we've
not found too many end-users that are willing to wade through the
navigations. What they seem to prefer are simple checklists. Just as it's
hard to get functional experts to use the Tutor model when writing
procedures and navigations, it's also difficult to get end-users accustomed
to Tutor's highly structured format. Finally, procs and navs require
constant feeding and care. Be sure you have a commitment up front from your
organization to maintain the documentation once it's been created.

Hi there,
I've used SmartDB in our Fin implementation for our GL conversion data and
AP Interfaces. It is quite effective and fast. It gives you flexibility of
using logical if then else statements within it which I guess SQL*Loader
does not give you. We've been using SmartDB since last 10 months or so and
never got any problems in it. You need the data files as your source and
then you create templates based on that file. Once your template is ready,
you can map your template columns with database table columns. I think,
there is one aspect of SmartDB which I didn't like. It hard codes the oracle
user password in the scripts that it creates so your passwords are visible
to the users.
Let me know if you need to know anything else.

In character mode you can use simple windows copy and paste functionality to
populate some standard forms within the applications. This is often done
with segment values, etc. With both smart client and nca applications it is
necessary to use these excel files or develop your own macros to get the
same results. Since these files are already developed if you can get a hold
of them, why take the time to write your own macros. Hope this makes things

DataLoad V4
Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 16:43:42 +0100
From: "Jonathan Stuart" jdstuart@globalnet.co.uk
Subject: DataLoad (or Cut&Paste) Version 4
Hi,
Users of the DataLoad (or Cut & Paste) macros might be interested to know
that Version 4 of this tool is now available. DataLoad V4, along with the
latest versions of to_apps.xls and to_nca.xls, can be downloaded from the
following site:
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~jdstuart/nca_load.htm
DataLoad has been completely re-written for V4.0 and is now a standalone
Windows application. This not only dramatically increases the possibilities
for current and future functionality, but also provides improved
performance, reliability and stability within a dedicated DataLoad
interface. The DataLoad macro will continue to be developed and will remain
numbered V3.X.
The key changes in V4 are as follows:
1. DataLoad implemented as a standalone Windows 32 bit application.
- Improved performance, reliability and stability.
- Dedicated DataLoad interface speeds up the build and testing of loads.
- No dependency on Excel.
- Vastly increased scope of potential future functionality.
2. Control of delays increased and improved using dedicated delays form,
including access to low level delays.
3. DataLoad file format introduced to save setup information as well as
data.
4. Documentation re-written as Windows help file.
5. Control of keystrokes made easier and the keys available to the user
increased.
As far as possible DataLoad V4 is compatible with the macro version but some
changes were necessary. A comprehensive Windows help file has been written
so please take 5 minutes to scan that and pick up on the changes (there is a
quick start section for existing users). The key points to remember when
using DataLoad V4 are that data is now sent to the target window using
Windows copy and paste, and that complex keystroke combinations using any
keyboard characters can now be programmed within the spreadsheet. The former
point improves performance and reliability but cannot be universally used
because certain fields can't accept pasted characters. The second point
regarding sending keystrokes allows us to populate fields which cannot
accept pasted text, but also enables us to access all menus and keyboard
shortcuts, for example, so that all Oracle Apps functionality can be
controlled by DataLoad.
If you require support, or have suggestions for improvements or changes
please email me at:

We use Optio for our deposit advices and it works very well. In a few
weeks we will start using it for purchase orders, AP checks, and pick
lists. Some time in the Fall we will begin using it for payroll checks.
As you can see we haven't put it to the test yet but it is working very
well in all of our tests. When we installed it we sent two people to
their training course and we had one of Optio's technical people come in
for a week to get us started. I recommend that you get some help also
because the class is mainly about designing forms, not about installing
and configuring the software on the server.
I give their tech support an A. We've never had to wait more than a few
minutes and the people we have talked to have been very competent.
If you are going to be printing checks or other documents with
signatures I recommend that you get some signature fonts made. Other
graphic types are slower and don't look as good.
Lily -
I have worked with Optio in the past, and while the product is okay
there is
really NO reason for a company to buy Optio! I have a strong
opinion on
this,
because as a consultant I see companies waste money on 3rd party
software
all
the time:
You can easily produce barcodes and bitmapped (logos, etc), faxed
and
emailed
output with Developer 2000 and Oracle Apps. You already own that
software
and
you already have developers on staff (most likely) that know
Reports 2.5.
One thing I specifically don't like about Optio is that they claim
you will
need zero customizations to make it work. That is not true. At a
minimum you
will need to write optio scripts that map to your Developer 2000
output.
The last project I was on spent $100k on Optio (software, training
and
licenses)! When I told them that since I already had to customize
the two
reports that would be sent to Optio, with just a few extra days I
could do
the
barcode and conitional logo printing they wanted, they just could
not
believe
it.
I have attached a copy of the report (just to give you an idea of
what you
can
do) I just produced for my current project using only Reports 2.5,
no third
party products! And as you can see it looks great. Its also has
lots of
conditional data fields in it which print/don't print under certain
conditions.
It took less than 5 days to complete.
I also have a paper on my website in the 'Oracle ToolBox' that
details how
to
setup bitmapped reporting and emailing, and its really easy for
some with
Reports 2.5 and Oracle experience. Faxing and barcodes are just as
easy too,
it
all just takes a little 'thinking out of the box'.

Subject: Re: Optio
Amber is correct: for most companies, Dev2K can do anything Optio can
do. However, I do not agree with Amber that every shop purchasing
OraApps should use D2K Reports just because it's there. We recently
purchased Optio, and are using version 6 without performance issues
on HPUX. We've been using OraApps since 1994. We've been following
Amber's prescription, customization, and are fed up with it. Even at
the $100,000 price tag Amber quotes (fairly accurate), Optio can be
cost-effective.
How, you ask? Well, assume you hack Oracle's delivered PO, you poor
soul. Ring up the consulting fee or the staff hours. Now assume that
Oracle delivers a patch for their PO. Assume they deliver one every
month, in fact, as is sometimes the case, and that it is buried in a
megapatch bundle you are forced to apply to continue doing business
into the next century. The patch alters the report's driving views
and breaks your hacked version. No problem--customize the new PO
again! Ring up another consulting fee or more staff hours. You can do
it faster--as long as every single change is well-documented and the
new report didn't change structure and invalidate your steps.
Modify just a handful of Oracle delivered reports and then go through
a round of patches or a major upgrade. You'll ring up well over
$100,000, I can tell you from experience. By the way, you'll need to
update your Oracle Reports skills for the new toolset, learn all the
new APIs, yada yada yada. And use Oracle Reports' design interface,
to add to your affliction.
Optio's approach does not require you to even know what tool produced
the output. Further, the patches that would break your customizations
rarely change the output format of reports, and so your Optio
document continues purring along. When patches do break your
documents, you don't need to analyze code to fix them--just spend 5
minutes tweaking the mapping document. Really! Optio's claim is true:
the reports are not customized. There *IS* a difference.
Yes, Dev2K Reports can do anything Optio can do. And if you use Dev2K
Reports, you'll get to prove that over and over and over again with
the same reports. That's great if you're billable, but lousy if you
have business to attend to.

what Smart DB has, is that the toolkit submits the concurrent program,
monitors the status as well as brings back the concurrent processing
errors/exceptions from Apps and consolidates all in one place at the
Hub.
