I am importing invoices on Rel 11. Auto accounting rules are not being used for any of the batch sources. If I am not using auto accounting rules, then How do I handle RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS

Thx in Advance

As far as I know (I do not know of Rel.11), setting up Auto Accounting (rules?) is mandatory to import invoices. What do you mean by using auto accounting rules for the batch source? Please clarify so that I may try to help.

If you are not using Auto accounting for Invoice . You can pass Account information to which this transaction belongs to in RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL table. You Should pass Accounting class ,Amount or Percent ,combination Code id or Segment1-30 and Line transaction flex to which this transaction belongs to information in RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL .

Sridhar,
In the RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL table, do we need to have 2 entries per line in the RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL table ? How do I do the debit and credit part of the transaction, Since one record can have just one amount field in the RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL table

TIA

Hi Ajay,
For every line in RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL, there will be one line in RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL with account_class as 'REV' or 'TAX'. This is the credit part. For the debit part, there will be one line per invoice in RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL table with account_class as 'REC'.

For examble, consider 3 lines in RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL table for an invoice.

Revenue line1 amount:$1000
Revenue line2 amount:$500
Revenue line3 amount:$200

RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL will have 4 lines as shown below.

Amount: $1700 Account_Class:REC Account:Receivables Account (or Debit Account)
Amount: $1000 Account_Class:REV Account:Revenue Account1
Amount: $500 Account_Class:REV Account:Revenue Account2
Amount: $200 Account_Class:REV Account:Revenue Account3

Hope This helps you.

K.Bagavthi Rajan.

Ajay,

You can have one or more lines for one line in ra_interface_lines_all table .The sum of amount in all distributions lines should be equal to amount of lines. You can differentiate debit and credit part of transaction using Account_class column in Distributions table .

Hi

You require only 1 line per transaction in RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL. The account code you supply is for revenue. The respective customer account will be the receivable. Hope this clarifies.

I am trying to import 2 invoices. I have 4 lines in the RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL table. (2 lines/invoice) One line with account class of 'REC' and another line with account class 'REV' for Debit and Credit accordingly.

Now I receive the following error

You can supply at most one Receivables account for a transaction (an invoice, a debit memo or a credit memo)

I quite dont understand this message. Any help?

Hi Ajay,
Sometime back, a problem with the same error message was posted to this list. In that case, there were more than one line in RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL with account_class as 'REC' for an invoice. In your case, you have only two lines in this table with account_class as 'REC'. So, i think you haven't linked the lines with account_class as 'REC' to the appropriate invoice & hence, the system might be considering the two lines for the same invoice. Check it.

Hi,

You should have setup 7 types in Auto-accounting. Autoinvoice clearing, Freight, Receivable, Tax, Revenue, Unbilled Receivable and Unearned Revenue.

You should not have setup 'Rounding Distribution', though it comes up in the LOV when you setup Autoaccounting. If you have, delete it.

You will get this message if you have not setup the 7 types mentioned above OR if you've setup the rounding thing.

I guess this rounding account is related to Header-level rounding functionality introduced in 11.x, but Autoinvoice code has not been revised to use this account.

Hope this helps,
Murali

In case anyone is interested, the error I reported below (above) was caused by an incompatible version of globe.pll (v76.10).

Hi Guys.

In vanilla Oracle when U go to the receipt screen - line items on just by pressing the tab from the amount applied field the Oracle calculates the discount amount for U based upon the customer setting.

My concern is how oracle calulates the discount amount.

I have open the form arxrwmai.fmb and gone through the script, the when validate item calls the lib routine "arp_app_folder_item.amount_applied_dsp_hook" and it further calls the lib routine "arp_app_folder_item2.discount_dsp" here the oracle calculates the discount, the requirement is to arrive the discount in my custom procedure how can i get the discount amount in a variable from this lib routine.

Any help will be appriciated.

Credit Memo Import through Autoinvoice

Subject: AR: Problem Importing a Credit Memo Through AutoInvoice Program

Hello All,

We are experiencing a strange problem when atttempting to import a credit memo via the AutoInvoice program. The concurrent manager will successfully complete when a term_id is supplied. However, the AutoInvoice Execution Report/ AutoInvoice Validation Report indicates that the record was rejected because "You cannot supply payment terms for your credit memo transaction.". I then set the term_id null in the interface table and run the AutoInvoice program again. This time the concurrent manager will abruptly abort and the AutoInvoice Execution Report/ AutoInvoice Validation Report does not even get generated. Is anyone aware of whether this is a known bug in the AutoInvoice program or have a solution to the problem? Any help would be much appreciated.

We are also facing same problem while importing Credit Memo through Autoinvoice Interface. If you are running Database Ver is 7.4 then there is patch for this. We could not test this as we are running on 7.3.3.

Keep us updated with your progress in importing Credit Memo .

Subject: RE: AR Customer Details shifting among Orgs

Since you do not mention of any legacy system, the new customer data has to be collected from the manual processes, tabulated and then imported, maybe using the Customer Interface. Obviously, you would not want to have the identical address/contact/phones information in all of your organizations. If any customers are existing in any of the Organizations already created, then such customers should not be created. Instead you should take RA_CUSTOMERS.ORIGINAL_SYSTEM_REFERENCE from the database and use it as a reference to import the addresses, contacts and/or phones information.

If it will be of any help, I am pasting here some guidelines for importing customers. In case you decide to use this it may be necessary to add/delete some of the fields as per your own requirements. Note however that some of the fields are mandatory.

Hi all,
I am working on a customization request to mass complete AR invoices programmatically using PL/SQL package. I found Oracle's package that validates the invoice before it complete the invoice but I can't find how Oracle
1) creates payment schedules and
2) includes the invoice in the standard aging and collection process.

I am not sure if Oracle does these with Pro*C or PL/SQL. Does anyone have any experience that you can share regarding this or know of the package name that Oracle uses to do the above 2 tasks?

Thank you, I really appreciate any help on this.

I have actually done this for sun in Holland.

What you can do in the spreadsheet is set up all the typed commands that you would use into the spreadsheet (A tab would be the next cell)

Hide all comands from the user and request that they type in any data that they require in spreadsheet cells in the correct position.

We then set up a button in the spreadsheet and this copied all the data into the buffer.

At this point you just place the cursor in the correct place within Applications and paste the macro.

Simple and effective.



Credit Memo - Amount Doubles

Subject: AR: Credit Memo doubles $$, now we cannot close month end

Environment:
10.7NCA
7.3.3.6
Solaris 2.6

We have a Credit Memo which has caused us no end of grief. And OWWS is sending us in circles. The CM is related to an RMA which was a copy of a Sales order. The CM checks out in the apps; the customer account shows OK (the CM is applied). It has posted to the GL. However, it is showing up on the Unposted Items report, which is disallowing us to close. Additionally, the amount listed on the Unposted Items report is DOUBLE the original CM amount.

Most of the tables check out OK. Until we get to AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL table -- this is listing the amount as doubled. Also, we do not have any related entries in the ar_receivable_applications and ar_payment_schedules tables. (I am not positive this is relevant, but it is one direction OWWS pointed us.)

If anyone out there has seen such a mess, any guidance or clues would be great. I have searched Metalink 2.0, but am seriously considering looking at the old one too.

Thanks in advance....

Subject: Re: AR: Credit Memo doubles $$, now we cannot close month end

I spent the last 9 months with Oracle AR development dialed into our system and working with OWWS and Oracle consulting along with sending a complete copy of our database to Oracle AR development.

Initially we had the same problem with not getting an appropriate response (as perceived by our management) from OWWS. It required our VP to apply pressure to Oracle along with bringing in Oracle consulting to get results. We then had Bo Lin from OWWS onsite for a week along with having Cathy Lavender (the most SR. AR Analyst from the BDE group who wrote the internal white paper on corruption in AR and their fixes).

The first thing to ask though is what patch set are you on. The latest patch set released this week (AR S megapatch) is considered the nirvana for AR. This patch set has the final fixes to the wide range of corruptions that we worked through with Oracle AR development. (No guarantees that it fixes everything, but with the 58,000-invoices/ 235,000 lines we processed a day along with 1100 corrections per day we hit more than our share of AR corruption bugs, See below).

As to your unposted item problems, we had a variety of unposted item problems: currency error on the balance screen, Partial Canadian entry, with no effective date, Item will not display in the apps, The accounted amount and amount are not the same in AR_ADJUSTMENTS, mismatched gl_dates, This CAD Credit Memo has been applied to USD Invoice, amount != acctd_amount in GL_DIST, credit memos across closed periods, invoices and receipts off by a penny, etc. Each one of these required Oracle AR development to dial in and fix them. Oracle AR development has a set of scripts for unposted items: ard.sql, crh.sql, cr.sql, dist.sql, and trx.sql. There is also a set of scripts in OWWS to find all information relating to a particular invoice by Bryan Hodges: ar_invoice_info_107.sql, ar_cm_info_107.sql, ar_cash_info_107.sql.

As to your comment in the previous email that your problem might not be like Tom's because he is on a different version, when the developer would come up with a fix for 10.7 he was porting that fix to 11i. Apparently not all code was rewritten in 11i.

Below are AR Corruption issues and the related TARS and or BUG numbers for us. This will make it easier for you to request information from OWWS as to specific bugs for them to reference and the scripts they have for these issues. At the end of the 9 month period we had a multi script set that Oracle AR development was having us run on any long weekends that we had available to us. Initially the scripts took 51 hours and now only take 36 hours. These scripts (Section A below) have all the AR corruption issue diagnostics and fixes built in. They don't have a name yet but the developer has turned them over to OWWS. The developer also is responsible for all issues relating to AR corruption and continuously updates these scripts as new issues arise. These scripts are suppose to be able to be used against 10.7, 11.0, and 11i. Also included with the scripts were new reconciliation reports that helps the financial users a lot. You will have to get them from development as they are only porting them to 11i.
