Hai Kevin,
We have recently purchased the ZipUtil Tax softwere from DPC for our Tax Purpose.We are in utility business like Gas and Electricity and we are finding some difficulty in matching the Ziputil data to the AR_LOCATION_RATES tables right now.We decided to use the software outside of Oracle Applications and later inport the invoice generated from the outside billing system.We are going to use the Location information in the Ziputil software for loading the location values for customer import address validation.

Thanks

Managing Facilities and Properties

Subject: GEN: Property and Facilities Management

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody out there in Oracle Apps land uses it for managing facilities and property. I know Fixed Assets can be used for ammortization, asset valuation, leases and asset inventory. What I am looking for is something that can specifically manage building maintenance, operating costs (utilities, repairs, etc...), building plans, environmental control, etc... Is there any third party systems for facility management that can be integrated with Oracle Apps?

I would appreciate any advise you can offer.

Thanks again,

Richard

I have seen people using Timberline and Axiom to do this and interfaced that with the Oracle Applications. Let me know if you need some more information.

Thanks for the info. I just looked into Timberline. They seem to have a full line of property and lease management software. That would be great for a property managment firm. What I am looking for, actually, is something that a school board can use to maintain and manage the schools and other facilities.

If you have any more insight, that would be great.

Thanks,
Richard

The University of Minnesota Facilities Management uses TSW, The System Works, out of Atlanta. While they did not interface it to Oracle at the time it was implemented more than five years ago, I believe those interfaces are available now. It handled full facilities management, deferred maintenance, construction projects, etc.

COSprint Print Spooler and Oracle

From: "Sheets, Toni" toni.sheets@lgeenergy.com
To: "'oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca'" oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: COSprint Print Spooler and Oracle

Hi,

I was wondering do any of your companies use a 3rd party print spooler, such as COSprint by OSM?

We have Oracle 10.7SC on a HPUX 11.0 server. We use the COSprint spooler as the LP spooler on Unix is limited to the number of printers it can have. We are running into a few problems where jobs are getting "stuck" in the COSPrint queues and was wondering if there were any other Oracle shops out there that were having similar problems and how they resolved them.

The problem that we see occurring is when the printer is out of paper or has a jam or whatever, the COSPrint will put an error status on the job it is trying to print and all the other jobs behind it back up. Even if the user corrects the problem at the printer, the jobs don't automatically start off again. The administrator for COSprint still has to go to the COSprint printer queue and "jumpstart" the printer, then restart all the jobs in the queue, to get it going.

We were wondering if anyone else had this problem and what they did to resolve it.

Thanks in advance

Subject: RE: Auto Faxing Docs from Oracle Receivables

Commerce Path offers a fax server product that is tightly integrated with Oracle apps. Product installs easily. Once installed you define a "form type" in Oracle and the output is directed to the fax rather than a printer. We use a internally developed Overlay for the form. Works great

Hi Andrew,

You can print the checks in Oracle. Set up the printer depending upon your requirement. When you’re formatting the checks in AP specify the printer name.

Ali

We use the Evergreen Long Laser format provided by Oracle and it works fine. We have modified it slightly to use an Evergreen signature cartridge that signs the checks when they are less than a certain predefined amount.

Subject: Re: Check Printing

Andrew,

You can print checks straight from Oracle Apps but there are serious limitations, depending on your specific requirements. We are currently looking at a number of third party apps, among them: Bottomline, Ganson Engineering, Secure Document Systems, MHC and StreamServe. Oracle actually recommends Bottomline.

Good luck.

We are using Optio and it works well. It captures the output of an apps print job and reformats it to your specifications.
