Wrong Account Numbers

Date: 21 Mar 99 18:07:51 EST
From: Thomas Matthews
Subject: FA: Wrong Account Numbers in Apps 11

Hello, We just noticed this past week, that when we run the "Standard Journal Entries" process that the account numbers that get sent over to General L= edger are incorrect.
For depreciation we get this:
Dr. Depreciation Expense (01-100-7110) $100000
Cr. Depreciation Reserve (01-100-7110) $100000
Its obvious that this is incorrect.
I have checked ALL my accounts that I defined at the Category level and t= hey are correct.
This appears to be a problem with Account Generator. We are using Applications Version 11.0.200. Any ideas on what to do? Are there any patches available for this? Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom, You need yto fix the problem with a load of the default FA:Account Generator rules.

Looks like you did an upgrade from 10.7 and it sort of junked the Flexbuilder rules (if you had any) or just went wierd.

We had a similar problem when we went live on R11 from 10.7 and the analyst after looking at our FA:Account Generator setting just had us load the default rules for FA:Account Generator as it would have been when Apps was installed(fresh).

Somehow, the file in the relevant directory cannot be loaded into the database using the WorkFlow Loader program (atleast ours could not be) and he sent us a default file that we loaded through Workflow Builder.

Let me know if you need the file and I will email the same to you from my work.

Creation of SOB

Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 17:46:25 -0500
From: murali.avanamuthu@unisys.com
Subject: GL: problem in creating new SOB

Hi, We're implementing 11.0.2 with MRC & Multi-org.

Our calendar is called 'Unisys Calendar' and is of type '13Mth'. The 1= 2 months Jan - Dec are defined normally and 31-DEC to 31-DEC is defined as an ad= justing period. We have defined periods from Jan 1981 to Jan 2002 ( to enable = data conversion and Y2K related testing).

Now when we try to define a new set of books, we get a error saying: 'There is a gap in your Unisys Calendar calendar. Not all dates betwee= n 30-Nov-90 and 31-Dec-90 are assigned to a period. Please fix the calen= dar OR choose another calendar.'

The technical message is :
Ora - 6512 from APPS. GL_PERIOD_STATUSES_PKG at line 259

I reviewed this package and it seems like there is a table called 'GL_DATE_PERIOD_MAP', in which there are rows for 01-DEC-1990 to 30-DEC= -1990 with period_name as 'NOT ASSIGNED'. That's why we seem to be getting t= heis error. Whereas, the GL_PERIODS table is not aware of such a period. In fact D= EC-90 has been defined as a valid period. Any clues? Thanks in advance, Murali


SOB ID

Hi,
we are trying to develop some reports in GL. We have multiple sets of books. I want to collect the set_of_books_id depending on the responsibility the user log into. How does the set of books id gets populated as soon as the user logs in?

Thanks a lot in advance, Mark Thomas

Mark,
A SOB is attached to a responsibility through the profile option 'GL Set of Books id' You can find out the SOB attached by the procedure fnd_profile.value('GL_SET_OF_BKS_ID')

Hope this helps Vinay



Changing SOB Name

Subject: GL: Changing Set of Books Name

Has anyone ever successfully changed the set of books name? Our high-level organization name has changed and we would like the new name to appear on reporting--FSG's, all sub ledger reports, etc.

One of our technical folks has indicated that there is no way to change this 'on a screen' and he is hesitant to go ahead and change it via SQL. Any comments from someone who's experienced this need?

Subject: RE: Changing Set of Books Name

We researched it once, and it isn't too difficult, apparently. However, we never actually went through with it. If it will help, here is the script we wrote to do this. We were actually planning on changing the names of some SOBs which we had stopped using. We wrote this for 10.7, and NEVER actually ran it. We chickened out.

The date last updated told us which SOBs to change. No promises or guarantees. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Hi,
You can probably try and define a new set of books with the 'new name' and attach the same calender,currency and chart of accounts of your old set of books.

This new set of books may be attached to whatever is the relevant responsibility. That could give the new name when you work with it.

I am not sure whether this is a correct remedy for your requirement. You may pl try this and share your experience with us.

Thanks, Radhakrishnan radha_rk@hotmail.com

Actually, I did it from the Apps. Used Examine on the SOB form. Then changed the Profile Options on the form also. No repercussions. But I think it depends a bit on the modules installed.

As usual Joe is right. As we change the SOB form and profile option it perfectly worked for us.

Here are the 2 tables needed in a 10.7 install to load the value sets with values. This is a non account type valueset. There is just one more value for loading an account type value set in the compiled_value_attributes.

New Set of Books

Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 10:55:45 -0400
From: Missy Schaetzke Missy_Schaetzke@zd.com
Subject: New Set of Books

We implemented 10.6 for the manufacturing and financial apps in January '97, upgraded to 10.7 character September '97. Up until recently we've only had the need to use one set of books. I've been asked to do some research on adding another set of books.

Our financial group is looking to add another set of books that would share our current chart of accounts, accounting calendar and functional currency with our existing set of books. We would only be using AR, AP & GL for this new set of books.

My questions are, do we need to be multi-org in order to this? What considerations should we keep in mind? Also, we are in the process of upgrading to R11 next month. Would we be better off waiting until we are live on R11 or setting this up in our current environment?

If you need more information please let me know.

Thanks,

Subject: RE: New Set of Books

Based on what you explain, yes, you would need Multi-Org. Regarding considerations, there are many. Consider the shared data. You can read the Multi Org manual.

Regarding the 11 vs. 10.7 issue, Multi Org in 11 is a more stable install than in 10.7. Some tasks are automated where you had to do them manual in 10.7. But I would ask a question regarding what is driving the need to do the Multi Org install? If it is needed before the upgrade to 11 then that answers your question. If it can wait I would probably wait. Do the upgrade then go to MO in 11. Regards, Joe Maliszewski Consultant jmaliszewski@csi.com

You don't need another set of books, just use a different value for your balancing segment. There is no need to maintain a seperate set of books if you do not need to.

Subject: New Set of Books

If you are using AP and AR with your original SOB and want to also use them with your new SOB, you will need to be Multi-Org. Single org can only point to one SOB.
