Sales Tax Validation

Date: Wed, 1 Sep 1999 10:51:08 -0400
From: "nkumar" nkumar@se-tech.com
To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: AR/Projects Invoice

Our Sales tax Validation is set to State.County.City. Tax Code for Sales tax has been setup and attached to customer sites. A project has been setup with work site different from the bill site. On running the autoinvoice program, we get the error stating "Unable to locate valid sales tax rate for transaction. Ensure that active ST rate exists for the transcation"

I have queried in AR for the sales tax rate using the state.county.city combination and a valid rate exists. We have Vertax installed and are on Rel. 11.0.2

Would appreciate any help
Thanks

Hi,
Attach a valid postal code to the address of ur customer site in the Locations form,this generally gives that error.See to it that the state,city and county have the same postal code,

This will work.

Individual Receipt No. to automate AND Application of payments to Invoice Lines

Subject: yet another AR question

Thanks to all those who responded to my earlier AR question regarding attachments. Very helpful. Two quick questions.

We're on 10.7SC GUI

1) In AR, I can set RECEIPT BATCH to auto number, but where can I set up individual receipts to auto number? Is this possible? I can't seem to figure this out.

2) When applying receipts, can you apply payments to specific invoice lines rather than to the invoice?

Thanks in advance for your asssitance!!

Subject: RE: yet another AR question

You can not apply receipts to invoice lines, you can only apply them to the invoice (10.7). When I called Oracle on this question they said that applying receipts at the invoice line level is being considered for a later release but they did not commit to a release.

As far as I know you can not automatically number receipts without adding a DFF or some other customization. Wouldn't you want to use the receipt number (check number) to record a payment?

Subject: RE: yet another AR question

Chris and Michael,

The Line No. field has been there since at least 10.4.2, but the system doesn't track balances at the line level, so it is not a usable feature. In addition, in 10.7 you can only apply a receipt one time to each invoice even if you select different lines on the same invoice. So, if you want to apply a receipt to multiple lines, you cannot do that. There is not such a restriction in 11.0.3, possibly in anticipation of the change to line level application.

The enhancement of multiple receivable accounts will make line level application a necessity, but at that is in the future. Possibly 11i, probably after that.

Hope this clarifies things, Craig

Hi,

I am on 11.0.2 and just looked up the screen. There's no provision to enter invoice line information. I would be very much interested to know which version has this capability. The table layout (AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS) does have the capability to record invoice line being applied.

Subject: RE: yet another AR question

To all interested in this question:

I tested this in version 10.7 GUI (by the way we are doing this implementation on a cash basis) and the LOV does allow you to specify the invoice line. However, upon GL interface, the amount applied is prorated among all invoice lines. Unfortunately, a prior message from Craig Yedinak is correct...AR does not carry balance information at the line level.

This functionality does not seem to exist as yet.



Statements- Reference No. customize

Subject: AR:invoice numbering and statements

We just changed one of our AR batch imports to auto invoice numbering. Since these numbers mean nothing to the customer, we need to include the reference number (credit card transaction number) on the statements instead of the generated invoice number. Has anyone else done this? Where did you get the reference number for the statements? I see it shows up correctly in the transaction form query, but I am not sure how to select it for the statement.

Tax Interface - Import very slow

From: Kevin Bradley kbradley@mapmobile.com
To: "'OraApps-L@cpa.qc.ca'" OraApps-L@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: Receivables

We have populated the tax interface with tax data. When we ran the import it was taking forever. So we killed it and only loaded 1000 records. This took 2 hours to load into the tables in Oracle. Then we loaded 2000 records. This ran for about 20hours. All of our temp space on our drives was eaten up by the tax interface process, and subsequently, the process just hung there. I have called a TAR into Oracle (12250196.600). They have had me check to make sure all the triggers are enabled, which they are. They also had me check the indexes to make sure they are valid, again they are. This has been going on now for about a week and we are not making any real progress.

Now I will tell you that this is a test instance and that we are running apps version 11.0.3 and database version 8.0.5 on SUN Solaris. I did increase the cache size to 5000 in (N) Setup-- System-- System Options.

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas/input as to why we cannot get the interface to run without crashing the system. Is there anything in setup I am missing? Or is there something I should look at on the database side? At this point any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: URGENT-Autoinvoice errors

Hi,

We are on 11.02 NCA implementing GL,AR and AP.

When working on importing invoices info from our custom invoice application into AR, the autoinvoice program and its validation report listed out the following errors:

-duplicate transaction flexfield;
-invalid bill to customer id;
-invalid conversion type;
-invalid primary salesrep;
-invalid ship to customer id;
-bill to address id must exist in ora.receivables and must be assigned to the bill to customer;
-supplied ship to address id must exist in Ora.receivables and must agree with the supplied ship to customer;
-supply sales credit assignments for trx when you specify you require salesperson;
-total % of sales credit must equal 100;

Now, we are working on dealing with these errors. In the meantime if any of you can share your views/opinions on how to set right these errors, it will be a great help.

While mapping for integration of our custom invoice application with OF,is it a must to use RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS table? If not why?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Radhakrishnan
Since we do autoinvoice everydya I think I could be able to help U out. The error Invalid customer id is because U R supplying a customer id which is not present in the system. Check ur set up and check the batch source U R passing for the invoices.Also check in the batch source if it is set to pass bill to customer values or id.If it is id and U R not passing ID then U get that error. The conversion type is a not null column so U have to pass a value in it. If U want to associate a salesrep with the invoice U R importing then U have to pass a salesrep id or value or else U can just pass the -1 default which is provided by Oracle. Also check that the address id U R passing is associated with the customer and is marked as bill to. same with ship to address Also U have to populate the ra_interface_salescredits_all table . I guess this should help U out but if U require any other help I would be more than happy to provide U with an old source code I have.

Thanks

Subject: Re: AR: URGENT-Autoinvoice errors

Hi,

You should synchronize your Batch source definition and your input data. For example, if your batch source says 'transaction type' -- id and say you're passing the transaction type name in your data, that's a mismatch.

Your flexfields (Invoice/Line Transaction Flexfield) definitions identify a unique transaction or a line. You cannot have two lines having the same values for this flexfield. That's your 'duplicate flexfield' error.

If you have in your setup 'Require salespersons', then you should populate RA_INTERFACE_SALESCREDITS_ALL table.

If you like Autoinvice to use Autoaccounting to drive the accounting, then you do not have to populate RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL. But if you have specific accounting requirements from your legacy system, then you might consider populating the above table.

Good luck,
Murali

at the risk of seeming ignorant. You have a sales person and a csm and need to track them both. Do you have a different CSm based on the type of invoice?

I ask this beacuase Im sure you ve already looked into replacing the salesperson ont heinvoice with the CSM. The only other way I believe would be to use a DFF in one of the invoices reference fields. but if someone tells you other wise please pass it to the whole list.
