Cost Manager failing

Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 15:10:45 -0400
From: alin2@csc.com
Subject: INV: Material Cost Transaction Worker Failing to cost

Hi,

We're on 10.7sc/16.1 unix 10.20 7.3.4.4. and have the Cost Manager scheduled to run on a daily basis. Every so often (maybe one out of 10) the process completes with a Warning. When you look at the logfile for the cost worker, you can see where it costs transactions, then fails intermittenly with the message:

Failed costing id = 123456
APP-00988 Oracle error 1476 in insert_acct
APP--00406 No message explanation found for message '&MESSAGE'
Within one scheduled run that completes with a warning, it fails intermittenly throughout the log. I've been working on this issue with Oracle support for over two months now and they do not have a clue why this is occurring.

If anyone out there has seen this or might have a clue, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Alice

We've run processes that complete with warnings. Oracle support and our experience has lead us to believe the warning is telling you there are no items to cost since that manager last ran.

You may try deactivtating the manager and reactivating it or looking at the setup of the problem item that may differ from an item that is being costed properly??

Hi Alice

first i must tell you that i have no experience with 10.7sc/16.1, but based on my expatriate in R11 try to see if you can find a record in MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS that the transaction_id is 123456 if so, contact my

In isolated Pick Slips getting 'No Loacator Specified' error

Subject: INV Stock Locator "No Locator Specified" error

Hi,

Can anyone give me a lead on a this problem - we are getting (10.7.4 NCA) a message "No Locator Specified" on isolated pick slips. I traced it back to the demand process which could not identify an item stock locator. The related items have on-hand quantity, had previously been successfully picked, and have identical attribute settings as "good" items. Other items from the same subinventory and locator are being found. Any clues or advice?

Thank you,

Subject: Re: Inv: Organization creation problem

Do you have any invalid objects?

Also try flushing shared pool and have user logout an login again.
If memory serves me right, I've seen this issue as a memory leak in 8.0.5, It went away by increasing the shared_pool_size and periodically flushing the shared pool (hourly). But that was in a 7.3.2 database.
Also check all your other init.ora parameters.
If it persists you may want to upgrade to 8.0.6 or latest patch 8.0.5.1.0 if Oracle allows it in their compatibility matrix.
Curious, if you are on NT or another Intel platform?

Subject: Re: Inv: Organization creation problem

hi all,

i could solve this issue. this is actually related with Stock locator flexfield which comes with default 19,20 segments for project and task. even not enabling this did not allow me to create organizations. in fact there is a patch c/d851461 which fixed this problem.

Ravi: creating organization is an independant and one step before running adadmin.

Inventory Out of Balance

Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 08:06:08 -0400
From: alin2@csc.com
Subject: Inventory: Out of Balance

Hi all,

Has anyone ever encountered an out of balance situation in their Inventory? We ran the GL transfer & import and there is one batch that is out of balance. Then we ran the Material Account Distribution detail report for a specific date range and the difference in the unbalanced JE is the balance on the Material report. We've called Oracle Support and no answer yet.

Thanks for your assistance in advance,
Alice

From: "Nagamohan U." umohan@irs.co.id
Subject: RE: Inventory: Out of Balance

Hi Alice

Please check whether accounting code combination id generated for these transactions. You can run the following script to check that.

Select reference_account from mtl_transaction_accounts Where gl_batch_id=&your_gl_batch_id_which is out_of_balance

You can find the gl_batch_id in GL_Interface table Reference21 column.
You can find the organization code in the reference22 column.

This may result in -1 for some transactions. Because of this the debit or credit entry of this transaction will go to GL and the associated debit/credit entry will remain in Inventory because of the problem in the code combination id generation.

If you find -1 in the table you have to update the reference_account column in the MTL_TRANSACTION_ACCOUNTS table.

After that you have updated this table, check any transaction is there in the GL_INTERFACE table from inventory with this account with which you have updated the table. If it is there just add the amount in the import corrections form against this account. Otherwise you have to insert a record in the GL_INTERFACE table with all the relevant information so that the accounts get balanced.

Item import not working - Query 1

Hi,
We are running item import and the concurrent manager is not processing any rows. The process flag remains set at 1. Does anyone have a clue as to what is causing this?

Thanks Deepa

Hi,
We faced a similar situation recently. Please try again after filling the following columns in interface table -
LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, CREATED_BY,
LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN and TRANSACTION_TYPE (value - 'CREATE').

Good luck -

Subject: RE: Item Import

Make sure your inventory managers are running to process the rows in the interface table, otherwise they'll just sit there. I don't have anything in front of me but if you look at the interface manual it should say which managers need to be running.

Good Luck.

16.1 GUI 10.7

I am trying to run item import. I have records in the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE and I run the item import under inventory and it does nothing. I does not import the records nor does it put any records in the MTL_INTERFACE_ERRORS. Is there something else I need to setup or run?

Hi Carole

Check if your concurrent managers are active by going to SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORconcurrentsAdminister concurrent managers and look at the Actual column. if all the numbers there are 0 ask your system guys to run the concurrent managers.

Hi,
We were on ver 11 and were having the same problem. We had to apply an I/O patch and that fixed the problem for us. Also make sure that you are not populating the inventory_item_id column in the interface table.

Subject: RE: inventory item import

Carole,

Maybe your items failed a validation check. Check the PROCESS_FLAG value in the mtl_system_items_interface table. For the meaning of the values, look in the Oracle Manufacturing, Distribution, Sales and Service Open Interfaces Manual.

Hope this helps.

I have checked that and it is null, it ask just like its not running anything. In worked in 16.0 and has not worked since upgrading to 16.1 so I am sure there is probably a patch but oracle is taking there good old time telling me.

Carole, try setting the process flag to 1 (Pending) and also the transaction type (or something to that effect) to CREATE.

Dear Carole,

I've just got item import working and I ran a 8K item import overnight successfully (on the test database).

The process_flag SHOULD NOT BE NULL. You should set it to 1 . The import programme then sets it to a number 1 if there is an error.

I am on 10.7 GUI 16.1 and while it's working here (so far) I once got a PROCESS_FLAG value of 47. The Open Interface manual lists values only up to 7. The MTL_INTERFACE_ERRORS table indicated that there was a snapshot too old error in the rollback segements. I was trying to run 10 workers at the same time using the PROCESS_SET_ID.
