Confirm Shipment - error message

Subject: OE: Confirm Shipment

Environment: HP-UX 10.20, RDBMS 7.3.4.3.1, 10.7 SC16.1

After 6 weeks of testing Oracle Y2K patch set 4, we patched prod this weekend. In OE the user does a Confirm Shipment. The Confirm Shipment screen opens up, with a Default Action of Ship, he enters the units to be shipped, enters Serial Numbers, then presses the Close Pick Slip button. An error messages appears "Please enter a ship action when closing pick slips", clicks the OK button and then clicks the Close Pick Slip button again and the job is completed. Any ideas about why this error pops up, any profiles to change.

TIA

I have an error in my analysis of the problem.

The user presses the Close Pack Slip button, the task completes successfully. However, the Close Pick Slip button does not gray out, it is still available, so the user presses the button thinking he hasn't done it, then gets the error message below. So the problem is the Close Pick Slip button is not disabled. The OE patch in set 4 is G. Thanks again.

Does this problem occur with Non-Serial Number Controlled Items? It seems like I've heard of this problem before, when executing Ship Confirm with Serial Number controlled Items. I'm not sure of the resolution, but Oracle Support should be.

The problem occurs with serialized and non-serialized items. As Harry suggested, we contacted Oracle support. This problem is a known bug and being worked on by development. Our workaround is not to press the Close Pick Slip button the second time.

Subject: OE - Auto generate 2 copies of Pack Slip

We are using Order Entry to ship goods from our warehouse to internal customers.

1. customer creates an internal req for an item coded as inventory
2. run create internal orders
3. run order import
4. system generates a pick slip, items are picked
5. N:Shipping/Confirm shipments/Pick Slip
6. Click on Close Pick Slip

When Close Pick Slip activated the system runs a document set that generates (prints) one Pack Slip. We would like the system to print two pack slips.

Does anyone know how to set the system to automatically print two pack slips when the document set is run?

Subject: OE - Auto generate 2 copies of Pack Slip

I believe I have a solution for automatically printing two copies of the Pack Slip. I am in the process of testing this now, but I can't imagine it won't work.

I created a brand new driver that includes the instruction to print 2 copies. I then created a new style (ex. LANDSCAPEHP8100-2COPIES) to be used to print 2 copies. Then, I added the new style and new driver to the list of styles available for the printer type we want to print 2 copies of the Pack Slip to. Finally, I went to the define form for the Pack Slip concurrent program and entered my new style in the style field.

I will follow-up with a note to this forum ONLY if this DOES NOT work.

Wild guess, Why don't you create another Pack Slip Report in Document Set. It's just like running two Pack Slip Reports and other reports in Document Set, which will print one copy each.

I hope you know the procedure to create new report in Document Set, if not you will find it in Order Entry TRM Manual Vol II.

I think this is simpler than creating new printer driver and printer style.

Pack slip - Autogenerate 2 copies of - Query 2

From: John Sweeney jsweeney@goaa.org
Subject: OE and AOL:printing multiple copies of OE Pack Slip using

We are running 10.7 SC161 on RDBMS 8.0.5 and Sun Solaris 2.6...

Attempted to get 2 copies of the Pack Slip (one element in the 4-report OE document set) to print when a ship confirm/close pick slip transaction is done. I am trying to use the driver method (associating a style/driver with the Pack Slip concurrent program), since you cannot add an other occurrence of the Pack Slip to the OE document set (you can only include unique concurrent program names in the doc set). Below are the two driver set-ups I have tried. Method 1 attempts to use the Init string to specify 2 copies. Method 2 attempts to use the arguments string to specify 2 copies. Neither one of these seem to work (even after the concurrent manager is bounced). It seems like the concurrent program is looking to the default number of copies specified in my profile option:conc req number of copies even though the style associated with the drivers below is required at the Pack Slip concurrent program level. Everything I have read states that the options you set at the concurrent program level override everything else (profile options, etc.). Any input would be appreciated.

Method 1:
Arguments: lp -c -d$PROFILES$.PRINTER -n$PROFILES$.CONC_COPIES
-t"$PROFILES$.TITLE" $PROFILES$.FILENAME

Hi John,

If your printer setup doesn't work, go for this option, Create another Packing Slip Report(with custom name) in Document Set

* Copy the Packing Slip Report to a custom directory with different name.
* Create Concurrent Program Executable and Define the Concurrent Program for the Custom Packing Slip Report.
* Add this report to SO_REPORTS Table ( Use INSERT Statement and insert the values for REPORT_ID (it's max(Report_id)+1 ) and name like any custom name for the report etc..)
* INSERT Custom Packing slip report parameters (Same as Packing Slip Parameters) to SO_REPORT_PARAMETERS Table. ( Here also use INSERT Statement, take the Report_id for custom packing slip report from SO_REPORTS table and other parameters)
* Also insert the record in SO_REPPORT_USAGES and SO_REPORT_SOURCE_PARAMETERS.
* Add Custom Report to the Document Set ( Now it's having different name).

It's simple, but it requires lengthy procedure to add a report to a document set. In my previous project, I added custom report to the Document Set.

you will get this procedure in Order Entry TRM Vol II.

If you still have any doubts, please let me know.

Thanks,

Freight in RMA - giving credit to

Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 11:59:51 -0700 (PDT)
From: Jay Patel-ERP Consultant jpmrp@yahoo.com
Subject: RMA:Grouping Invoice

All;

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We have a need to give credit for freight that was charged on the original invoice, when a return is sent back. We are adding the item to be returned, and then adding a line for FREIGHT (set up as P/N that is not stockable) for the appropriate freight amount.

The problem is the, since FREIGHT does not need to be received, it goes thru the cycle and gives immediate credit, whereas the actual item does not get credit until it is received (usually in 5-10 days).

Is there a way to prevent giving credit on Freight until the item is received ?

Thanks Jay

From: "Prasanna Kumar Jena" pk_jena@hotmail.com
Subject: Re: RMA:Grouping Invoice

Dear Jay,
The general Procedure for setting up item attributes is as follows.
Physical items
Returnable: Yes
Shippable Item: Yes
Transactable: Yes
Stockable: Yes. ( Note that Transactable is under the Inventory attribute group and is different from OE Transactable)
Inventory Item attribute must also be Yes

To create credits for return items in Oracle Receivables, the item must have the item attributes
Returnable: Yes
Invoice Enabled: Yes.

Intangible items like Freight here should have the following item attributes:
Returnable: Yes
Shippable Item: No
Invoice Enabled: Yes

Apart from that you have to look into the Order Cycle. In the Order Cycle which is used for the Return materials - make sure that RMA Interface is a prerequisite for Receiveble Interface. The RMA Interface result should be Completely Accepted, not Partially Accepted. This will ensure that no Receivable Interface is possible till the last item is accepted in RMA. So the Freight can not get credit ahead of the physical item which will be received some days later. Then only can it be interfaced to Receivable and the total credit given to the Customer.

Hope this works.

RMA for interrelated items

From: "Jim Geisler" jim_geisler@hotmail.com
To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: OE : Implementing RMA for Models

Greetings everyone :

We have implemented RMA's with and w/o the credit options and seems to be working without any problems. Recently we have had returns of parts which are related or associated to another part.

For example: A computer part # 123 has a disk drive part # a123 and this disk drive part is associated to the computer part # as a component to the computer part # in a Model type item.

We require to be able to process RMA for this disk drive part if a customer returns it as long as this part is in the system regardless of the association of this part to an agreement, or another part or order. The computer that has that particular part in it may be associated to an order or agreement or a Model.

Please let me know if anyone has implemented RMA's for such a criteria, if so, how (even with bespokes).

Thanks. Jim.

Thanks for the reply. We are using 10.7 NCA. Though we are able to enter and book an RMA without any Reference Information, but are unable to RMA Interface it. One of the reason could be that the part was never shipped since it does not have any reference information, hence RMA Interface cannot put it back into inventory. Our RMA cycle is fairly simple :

Enter
Book
RMA Interface
Complete Line/Order

Please let me know how you have achieved this. Appreciate your time and help.

The reqt in OE is follows:

In oracle OE, a sales person can be attached to the order at the header level only. Any idea on how to associate two different sales persons to the same order.

Note: The order cannot be made into two different orders.

Hi Venkat,
The Sales credits at the header level, by default are taken as 100% for the salesperson. And these default to the line level. In case you want the line level sales credits to be diff from those at the header level, you have to assign the sales credits at the line level (from Special menu) MANUALLY. Diff lines can have diff sales credits (revenue credits for each line totalling to 100%)

However, there's no way by which the line level sales credits are defaulted by the product group / brand.

Hope this info helps.

Can somebody help me with the following two independant issues:
1. We have a multi-org environment on 10.7SC. The auto accounting in AR has been set to get the location segment from Standard lines. OE: item validation has been set to one particular org. what we are finding after the autoinvoice is run is that even though the shipments have occurred from different warehouses (locations) the auto accounting picks up the location segment from the segment attached to the item to the organization defined in the OE: item validation profile. How do I get the location segments attached to the item as defined in the shipping organizations?

2. Does anybody know of any third party products which will make price list maintanence a little easier task.

David, This was posted by Michael sometime back, it may help you.

Credit card setup in OE
You can use LockBox concept for creating receipts for orders paid by credit card. Here is the outline :-

When the customers are charged from order entry, the information should go to some settlement database where you find order info, credit card info and charged amount.

Depending on the bank/credit type the funded statement are provided by the bank next day/after certain days.

Tally the funded amount with charged amount.

Create a lockbox for each credit card type (visa, master etc).

Developed an interface process to update the lockbox interface for receipts creation for each card type. This process links settlement and invoices.
Run the lockbox process for each card type and followed by posting the batch, which should create the receipt for credit card payment.
Note : There are setup issues like define lockboxes, define payment method, define receipt sources.
I hope this gives an outline for developing an interface to create credit card receipt automatically.
