Statements with only Non Zero values

From: Stephen.Solomon@rac.com.au

Subject: [orafin] AR: Statements with zero value
To: orafin@mail-list.com

Hi all,

When we run out statements for our various transactions types there are always a significant number of suppliers that have a zero balance but a statement is printed anyway. Is there an option that will enable you only to print statements for customers with a balance greater than 0.

Thanks

Subject: PROBLEM IN AR INTERFACE

I am trying to interfacemy existing system (In Oracle) to OF. I am creating a database link and by a public synonym I am able to populate the Interface table for Customer Interface and Auto Invoice. But when I run Customer Interface or Autoinvoice Program it rejects all the lines. I checked all available report and screen but though the records are diplayed there the Error message field is empty. It does not show any error messages. When some error like wrong memo_line name, etc where made it showed the errors. So what might be these error which does not show any error message. PLEASE Somebody help. I Have a dead line to meet. In autoinvoice when I query the exceptions screen, in the invaild value field it shows value as '(nil)'. Please do Help.

Debbie,

First you will need to successfully load your customers before you can interface invoices for them. There are lots of things that could be wrong here, but first some more details: Does the concurrent program error or complete normal. What does the Customer Interface output say? It should say:

Total Records: x
Inserted Records: x
Updated Records: x
Exception Records: x

Then below the summary will be your specific error messages. Have you followed the required setup in the Open Interfaces Manual? Also What version are you on 10.7 or 11x?

I just got both Customer Interface and Autoinvoice working in 11.0.3 and it took a couple of patches to get them there, but I had specific errors. I would suggest starting with something very easy, like update an existing customer's name or address, then insert 1 new customer, etc.

Subject: Invoice Import - Autoinvoice problem

Hi,
I am running into this problem, where everytime I run AutoInvoice program it creates batches in Oracle even though the program has not imported any invoices. The batch will have 0 invoices in it. Is this connected to any profile option or any other setup? I am working on Apps Rel 11.03 The Batch source I have chosen has Auto Batch numbering turned off. How do I create batches with my own numbers for any given batch source ? Which columns should be populated in RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL table ?

Thanks

Hello All,

we are intergrating vertex with applications 11.0.3.Can we delete the values from the AR_LOCATION_RATES table so that we can upload new values for tax rates and zipcodes provided by Vertex?We are having problems with updating the existing records using the Sales Tax Interface Program.Most of the records are not geting updated to the correct tax rate and zip code.So,we thought of deleting the records from the AR_LOCATION_RATES table and bring in new records through the interface.Does deleting the records from AR_LOCATION_RATES table affect the current transactions in the system? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Hello Raman,

I implemented Vertex for a client who had been using Oracle Applications in a production environment for approximately one year. The problem with deleting the data from the AR_LOCATION_RATES table is that it is linked to data in the following tables: RA_ADDRESSES_ALL, AR_LOCATION_VALUES, AR_LOCATION_COMBINATIONS, RA_TAX_EXEMPTIONS_ALL, and RA_ITEM_EXCEPTION_RATES.

Please let me know if you are interested in additional details.

Customer Interface for Multiple Orgs

Date: Thu, 07 Oct 1999 11:15:31 GMT
From: "Sanjay Sharma" mrsanjays@hotmail.com
To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: Customer Interface for Multiple Orgs

Hi,

I am trying to import customer information from Legacy systems to a new installation of APPS. The interface data contains 2 lines that refer to a particular customer 'ABC' and each of these lines is linked to different organizations. The Site use is 'BILL_TO' in both cases. Theoritically, the system should accept this data and create one customer 'ABC' and two different addresses which correspond to the organization specified. But in reality, it doesnt seem to do so.

The interface program throws out an error as follows:
**********************************************************************
APP-15449 This customer reference has two identical primary site uses defined
**********************************************************************

Is this interface not equipped to handle multi org data? If anybody has a clue to this, pl reply.

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nagendra

Hi

your problem is that you are trying to interface tow different org's at once. if you are working in multi-org (and I believe you do because I ran into the same error message one) you must load the interface once for one organization, run the import from that organization and after you are finished, run the interface for the anther organization in an insert mode for address because the customer is already there (it has no org_id in it).

What version are you running of Oracle Applications? We are running 11.02 and have experienced this problem since going live.

The problem we have is if no parameters are entered. If you run the Receivables Interface with parameters it does not end in error. I have support working on getting a patch to resolve this problem.

To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: Re: AR: Finance Charges

Hi jay,

I have some knowledge about the finance charges calculated while printing the customer statements. As soon as you commit on the screen to print the customer statements a concurrent program is launched. This runs a report ARXSGPO.rdf.

The program uses two standard tables to store the statement information temporarily, namely
AR_STATEMENT_HEADERS and
AR_STATEMENT_LINE_CLUSTERS

AR_STATEMENT_HEADERS as the name suggests stores the summary information for every customer transaction. The field FINANCE_CHARGES in this table gives you the finance charges for a customer. This table joins with AR_STATEMENT_LINE_CLUSTERS using the column LINE_CLUSTER_ID.

In AR_STATEMENT_LINE_CLUSTERS all the activity against an invoice can be found. INVOICE_NUMBER identifies the trx number. TRX_ORDER_SEQUENCE and TRANSACTION_CODE are the key fields in this table that identify the type of transaction (PMT, INV, CM etc.)

The data in these tables is purged at the end of the concurrent program for printing the statements. One work around to see the data is to abort the process in the middle or modify the report ARXSGPO.rdf to avoid purging.

Hope this helps

Whether or not finance charges are calculated is controlled by Profile Class region in the Customer Profile attached to the customer. This setting (like all Customer Profile settings) can be overridden for a specific customer.

Subject: Re: AR: Credit Memo

Hi Kiran,

All application information can be obtained from the table AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL. The key fields in this table are

CASH_RECEIPT_ID --from AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL
CUSTOMER_TRX_ID, APPLIED_CUSTOMER_TRX_ID -- from RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL
PAYMENT_SCHEDULE_ID, APPLIED_PAYMENT_SCHEDULE_ID -- from
AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL

e.g. :
-----

1. CM Application

If a credit memo CM01(Payment Schedule ID = 1000) is applied to an invoice INV01( Payment Schedule ID = 1001) then the corresponding rows in AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL can be obtained by querying on :
PAYMENT_SCHEDULE_ID = 1000( of the Credit Memo) and APPLIED_PAYMENT_SCHEDULE_ID = 1001( of the invoice to which the CM has been applied)

2. Receipt Application

If a receipt REC01(CASH_RECEIPT_ID = 1) is applied to an invoice INV02( Payment Schedule ID = 1002) then the corresponding rows in AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL can be obtained by querying on :
CASH_RECEIPT_ID = 1 and
APPLIED_PAYMENT_SCHEDULE_ID = 1002( of the invoice to which the receipt has been applied). If the receipt is applied to more than one invoice just query on CASH_RECEIPT_ID = 1

To understand the table AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL read the information given in the Technical Reference Manual for AR.

Just FYI, try this SQL if you want to find out the transactions to which a credit memo has been applied.

select trx_number, class
from ar_payment_schedules_all
where payment_schedule_id in
(
select ara.applied_payment_schedule_id
from ar_receivable_applications_all ara, ar_payment_schedules_all aps
where ara.payment_schedule_id = aps.payment_schedule_id
and aps.trx_number = Credit Memo Number
and class = 'CM'
)

Hi,

We are facing some problems in transferring entries from AR to GL.

We did the following
- Created a Receipt Batch
- Many receipts created manually under the batch. Almost all the receipts are unapplied. Only 3 of them are unidentified.

The problem :

After transferring the entries from AR to GL(Journal Import) for the period OCT-99 all the receipts created above appeared in the Unposted Transactions report. This report gave a message in the end : "This receipt is part of an unposted quick cash batch."

What could be the reason for this?

Thanks in advance

Subject: RE: Problem in transfer from AR to GL

If the batch type is Manual-Quick, then you are using QuickCash functionality for your receipts batch which requires an additional step - Post QuickCash before the receipts actually update customer accounts & before they can be posted to the GL. Hope that helps!

The post quick cash message can be misleading. It can also mean that the journal entry you are trying to create does not balance in the current month.

2.You must supply sales credit assignments for this transaction when you specify you require salesperson ( This error only for line_type 'LINE')

Hello Manjula,

You need to populate the ra_interface_salescredits_all table as well with the salesrep information.

Also, for line type of tax, you must "link" the tax line to the line for which the tax applies using either the link_to_line_attribute1 through 15 columns or the link_to_line_id column. These data are, for the link_to_line_attribute1 through 15, the interface_line_attribute1 - 15 of the taxed line. You don't have to use all 15 columns. Just make sure the combination of whatever columns you use are unique. If you have not enabled autoaccounting, you will also have to populate the ra_interface_distributions_all table. You will probably want to populate this table since you won't want to change any of the accounting from your legacy system.

I know this may be confusing, so feel free to write back. Also,. the User's guid provides an example in the autoinvoice section.

Manju-

1.Message not found. Check the log file for more information. (this error I am getting for all records) You must be getting a value after message not found message. This value you must be assigning to one of the columns in the Interface Table. Check whether it is a correct value for that column.

2.You must supply sales credit assignments for this transaction when you specify you require salesperson ( This error only for line_type 'LINE') If you have set salesperson as required, you need to populate ra_interface_salescredits table with the right values. Otherwise uncheck the salesperson required checkbox in system options. The navigation path is System-System Optionms and go to Miscellaneous alternate region.

3.You must link the transaction of line type 'TAX' to a transaction of line type 'LINE' ( This error is for Line_type 'TAX'). If you are planning to have TAX at line level, you need to link TAX line with its corresponding 'LINE'. You need to populate LINK_TO_LINE_ATTRIBIUTE's with the right values. Read Receivables User Guide and go through the Transaction Flexfield setup details.
