Date: 13 Jun 99 12:35:22 MDT
From: knujwalajr jupitor knuj4@usa.net
Subject: Help on Auto Invoice(OE/AR Experts)

Hi,
Through Auto Invoice I am trying to insert extra Tax and Freight Lines corresponding to Order Lines from OE. I am trying to link TAX Line(ra_interface_lines_all.line_type=TAX) and

FREIGHT Line (ra_interface_lines_all.line_type=FREIGHT) with order Line(ra_interface_lines_all.line_type=LINE). But the extra tax and Freight Lines are not getting Linked to order Lines.Freight is getting created on separate Invoice.I checked all the mandatory grouping columns.For extra Tax line i am using link_to_line_context as 'Global Data Segments' instead of 'Order Entry'. For Link to Line attribute values i am giving interface_line_attribute values for extra Tax Record.
Can some body please help me ?
Thanks in Advance

From: "Amejka, William" wamejka@dreamworks.com
Subject: AR: Copying transactions

Hi all,

We would like to utilize the copy transaction functionality in Oracle Receivables 10.7 NCA, but we have 2 issues

1. the function only copies completed invoices
2. when it creates a new invoice, the new invoice is completed as well.

Questions.....

1. Has anyone found a way to copy incomplete invoices
2. Is there a way to automatically make the new invoices incomplete

Thanks for your help!
Bill



Loading Salesreps

Subject: AR: Loading Salesreps

Hi,

I have 1,400 new salesreps I need to load into Oracle AR. Does anyone have the sql*loader scripts they may want to share to accomplish this, since oracle does not support an open interface for this process.

Thanks, Rich Bush

Vertex Load

From: bdungy@csc.com
Subject: Vertex Load
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 15:35:35 -0400

I think there may be something wrong with the arvertex.ctl file or the seqmast file that I have from vertex. When I try to load the ar_tax_interface table using arvertex.ctl the process runs for hours but doesn't appear to be loading any data. Both the Oracle Top Session monitor and GlancePlus (HP-UX) show no I/O activity for the process. However, it is using almost 100% of the CPU. I've let it run as long as 5 hours straight before without seeing any appreciable progress. Is there something that I need to do when unloading the seqmast file from tape other than issuing "tar -xv" (i.e. reblocking the data, etc.)? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Customer merge not giving results

From: DASARI SUBRAHMANYAM [mailto:srdasari@hotmail.com]
Sent: Saturday, June 26, 1999 4:18 AMTo: Multiple recipients of list
Subject: Re: [Concurrent Program Help Required ***URGENT***]Hi all,

My client has a problem in running customer merge program between customers.

When the user runs customer merge it runs with status success. But, Customer Merge Execution Report does not contain any lines. The log file generated shows some debugging messages from ARP_CMERGE package. When i go and query for transactions in AR, they are appearing with the old customer only.

Is there a patch? I have taken care of all the prerequisites as mentioned in the manual to do customer merge.Any help will be greatly appreciated.-dasari

Dasari,

First you need to find out why it didn't run. Usually the Request Log can give some information. I've had some abort because it didn't finish before the database came down for backups or it ran out of tablespace. Is the setup correct? Do you have a billing or shipping address for each corresponding address? After you correct the problem, you can resubmit through the AR responsibility - Control, Requests, Run. Choose customer merge and enter the request id.

If you don't know the request id, you can find it in the RA_customer_merges table. This worked for me so I hope it solves your problem.

Hi Susan,

Thank u very much for ur concern. I believe my problem is not related to tablespaces or running of database. The customers i tried have bill to and ship to addresses and i mapped bill to - bill to and ship to - ship to of each customer.

When i queried on ra_customer_merges table, the process flag is 'N'. I understand fromt the documentation, for merge to be complete the process flag has to be 'Y'.

Log file gives me many message from the packages ARP_CMERGE_MASTER and other packages. In between i get Oracle Error 'User Defined Exception'. Since it is accessing more than 10 packages, i do not want to go into the code. I logged tar with oracle and i did not get any reply till now.

I would appreciate if any one has some knowledge of this problem/patch.

bye dasari



Customizing AutoInvoicing

From: Robert Kopf rkopf@mapmobile.com
Subject: AR: Customizing AutoInvoicing
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 13:49:31 -0400

We are relatively new to Oracle Applications and are just beginning some customizations to the AR, Inventory, and Order Entry areas. We have come across the AutoInvoicing functionality and would like to use. However, our billing scheme necessitates some customization.

Our customers are billed each month for a service plan at a set price. Additionally, they are billed for any services rendered over and above what their service plan entitles them to. For example, a customer would be billed in June for July's service, as well as any additional services they requested in May. Therefore, a customer's invoice is different every month, even though their original service plan remains the same. The amount of additional services a customer has used is stored in another system that can easily be passed to Oracle Applications (i.e. text file, cron process download, etc.).

Can the AutoInvoicing feature in the AR module be used to establish a recurring amount for the service plan and then have the additional service charge added automatically when an invoice run is performed at the beginning of each?

Credit Transactions - problems

Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 12:39:57 +0500
From: Faisal Yasin fyasin@ora-tech.com
Subject: problem in credit Transaction module in AR

Hi, All

Please resolve my problem.

We have been facing a problem in credit Transaction module in AR since last six months, there have been several complains logged to response UK/AU. We also received the response from both sites, but the actual problem is still persist as this problem is now causing delay in work and created a situation that we can not continue our work. A brief history of this problem is described as below and I hope that it will help you to understand the problem.

(A) The problem is when I click either credit transaction or transaction summary, system gives me the following error:

APP-01728: An assignment does not exist for these parameters.

Cause: An attempt was made to find a sequence for this document flexfield.

The profile option says Sequential Numbering is only partially used.

Action: None is necessary unless you excepted this document flexfield to have a sequence defined.

(B) After ignoring when I enter credit transaction either from transaction summary or credit transaction and try to save it gives me the following error message:

FRM-40735: ON-INSERT trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-04068

The history is as follows:

FRM-40735: ON-INSERT trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-04068 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
ORA-04067: not executed, package body “APPS. ARP.CREDIT_MEMO_MODULE” does not exist
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
ORA-06512: at “APPS.ARP_PROCESS_CREDIT_INS_COVER”, line 215
ORA-06512: at line 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SOLUTION:

We were asked to check the invalid objects and fixed them. The problem did not resolved.

CASE 2.Reference to Tar # which is logged to RESPONSE_APPS@uk.oracle.com

In this response we were asked to check specifically for the package arp_credit_memo_module, if the package does not exist then recreate it using the sql ARTECMMS.pls script.

This script is suppose to create the Package, it does create the package but also created some new problems.

CASE 3.Reference to Tar ,which is logged to GTANAS.@au.oracle.com

In here we have been asked to apply AR MEGA Patch # 791987 containing a server patch/database patch and a client patch.

After successfully applying the patch on the server as well as on the client the problems appearing in case 1 and case 2 are gone. As the impact of the client patch when I click on the credit transaction option, a new form invoked, instead of the old form. This form is basically used to find the invoice. But unfortunate once again the basic problem of saving the credit transaction remains intact.

Best regards

Working with California's Section 6378 - Exemption from 5% ST

Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 11:04:46 -0400
From: William Hall WHall@media100.com
Subject: OE/AR Working with California's Section 6378

California has a Section 6378 which exempts teleproductions from 5% of the state sales tax. Has anyone any thoughts on how to apply the 5% credit automatically when it is identified that the customer has a Section 6378?

Thank you,
Bill


MICR info in Lockbox

Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 10:39:43 -0700 (PDT)
From: Kevin Johnson kevin_t_johnson@yahoo.com
Subject: AR: LockBox MICR Information?

Has anyone had any experience using MICR number within LockBox?

We are looking at potentially using these and have some questions. We are running 10.7 NCA and have about 250,000 customers.

Does Oracle allow MICR to be stored at the Customer Site Level?

Does Oracle allow multiple MICR numbers per customer?

In order to use MICR numbers do we have to preload MICR information onto the Customer table using Customer Interface or manually? Or can we just allow LockBox to load them in as they are received over time?

In order to use MICR do we have to load Customer Bank information first?

Where do you manually load MICR information? Is this on the Customer Standard (Bank Accounts dropdown) form in the Account Number, and Bank Number columns?

Thanks any help would be appreciated.



Misc Receipts in Lockbox

Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 10:47:41 -0700 (PDT)
From: Kevin Johnson kevin_t_johnson@yahoo.com
Subject: AR: Misc Receipts in LockBox

Does anyone know about backing Miscellaneous Receipts out of LockBox batches?

When LockBox creates receipts I beleive it creates everthying as a type of Cash as opposed to Misc. If we notice that a receipt should have been Misc. we could reverse and re-enter it as Misc.

If we do this can we re-enter the Misc. receipt back into the same batch (Oracle Batch and Bank Batch) so that the Batch balancing and status still works correctly?

Thanks
