Hi All,

When I am trying to print the total invoice amount in the last page, it is saying invalid printing code. I am getting this error when I am changing properties of the filed as print condition LAST. Could some body help me in getting the total invoice amount to print at the end of the last page.

Thanks Kiran

Hi Kiran,
Create a summary column at the report level for the "Sum" of the invoice amount field. At the report footer print the summary column.

Hi Kiran,

If you look at Invoice Report (RAXINV.rdf), you can see that freight amount,tax amount and total line amount is comming from AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES table and these are there in MARGIN LAYOUT EDITOR and they will print for each page.

If you want to get the invoice total in the last page, just create summary column and set print condition as last.

Go through the Q_INVOICE query, you will get clear understanding.

Don't forget to delete the fields in MARGIN LAYOUT EDITOR.

All the best.
HTH,

I already tested by creating the summary column and gave the print condition as the last, but it gave an error by saying the invalid print condition.

What do you mean by deleting the fields in the margin layout editor? I am confused, What all I want is to print the total in the last page of every invoice, not in the last page of the report. And I didn't have any fields in the margin.

Thanks Kiran

They are there in M_PAGE_FTR Frame ( or search for F_TRX_LINE_AMOUNT, F_TRX_TAX_AMOUNT, F_TRX_FREIGHT_AMOUNT Fields etc..).

In which repeating frame you are keeping the Summary column field ( Hope it's in R_INVOICE)and make sure to keep the summary column in G_INV_TERM group.

If you have any questions, let me know.

INV_ALL_AMOUNT field does not have the TAX and FRIEGHT amount in it. It's just quantity_invoiced*unit_selling_price. If you want only that sum, create summary column field in R_LINES repeating frame and it's going to work for u.

Create summary column x, give the source as D_LINE_EXTENDED_AMOUNT and reset at G_LINES level and function as sum.

I do not have Recievables Application to test ur scenario, but I worked on other customization.

Subject: RE: Reports : Invoice total

you need to customize the RAXINV.rdf. You may need to create a small repeating frame and select main repeating frame as source for it. Then add a field to that repeating frame and select invoice total summary column as its source. Set return(false) for the original invoice total field. Place this frame in the appropriate position and set its print condition to LAST.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kiran,
I assume you have created a summary column, then a field using layout editor with a print condition as 'last' and type as 'anchoring'. If it is so and you are getting this error then you can check whether this field is anchoring to the repeating frame. I guess it is not, then try play around in layout editor to see that the field is anchoring to the desired frame. You can even try explict anchoring.

I hope this works. Satish

Susan,

If you modify a seeded Oracle App report they don't support it, so you have to copy it, modify the copy, and run with that by changing the concurrent request to point to the new rdf (or better still create a fresh concurrent request and just disable the original - that way if Oracle upgrade the report/concurrent requests you will not lose your settings/changes.

I know that the actual Oracle report itself is a bit complicated...!

Hi Susan,

There is no fixed report format. What I will do is copy a report from the same module and save as some other name.The you can customize it based on the requirement.
Costomization may include -
writing a new query,
changing Layout,
Triggers re writing.
After the report is over you will need to register it with Oracle Apps under
Sys Admin ->Concurrent -> Program -> executable then Program -> Define.
Hope it helps.

Hi, there is nothing fixed about report customisation. What you can do is a take out a present apps report, save it in a different name and modify it i.e. change the query, add some new fields, layout etc. make sure when you FTP the RDF from the surver you do it in binary. b write a new report using report writer 2.5 and register it with apps. This I find to be more elegent way of doing a report customisation. Whenever you follow this option make sure proper value sets are attached for your parameters to run the report. if you want I can send you RDF files for a customised report.

Susan,

Sujatha is right and in addition

While registering the report rename it and do not use the existing name. (give a you company initials as a prefix) If you add any new Parameters and if you need a LoV for that you may have to add a new Value set (if not available) Ensure that the custom reports are ftp ed to your custom top and not the standard top.

This a new feature in Rel.11. Oracle Support claims it is a function of Workflow and the person (or persons) you select when submitting a concurrent request will be sent an email notifying them the concurrent request has completed. The down side is that you must had Workflow completely setup for this one feature to work.

I have a 9 page document support sent me to complete the setup, if you would like a copy I would be glad to forward it to you.

Combined Report from FSG and AP

Dera ALl,

Have anybody ever created a combined report? I need to create a report of expense acivities. Currently, I have to run a FSG report (of expense accounts) and run another standard report in AP (to see details of each expense account activities). My questions are:

1. I want everything in one report .. cutomized report. My understanding I just need to copy FSG's query (from log file for that FGS program) and combined it together with AP standard report query. Can somebody verify this?

2. Is there any other way to doing this and can you share your experience on doing stg like this.

Thanks. Seth.

Please be more specific in what you are looking for and what version of the Apps you are running. GL has a few specific reports which shows some AP detail. It is not in FSG format but might suffice for what you are looking for. And the answer to your question is undoubtedly yes. Many people have created reports that cross modules.

Hi Suma
The text_io package will allow you to output directly to an excel spreadsheet, we do it all the time. Place the following code in your after parameter form report trigger.

myfile TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
begin
myfile := TEXT_IO.FOPEN(:DESNAME,'w');

TEXT_IO.PUT(myfile,'Item Class Lookup Code');
TEXT_IO.PUT(myfile,CHR(9));
TEXT_IO.PUT(myfile,'Item Description');
TEXT_IO.PUT(myfile,CHR(9));
TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE(myfile,'Line Total');

This code will create the file and create the headings Then in the repeating frame trigger place the code that writes the data

function R_G_ITEM_CLASS_LOOKUP_CODEForm return boolean is

myfile TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
begin

myfile := TEXT_IO.FOPEN(:DESNAME,'a');
TEXT_IO.PUT(myfile,:ITEM_CLASS_LOOKUP_CODE);
TEXT_IO.PUT(myfile,CHR(9));
TEXT_IO.PUT(myfile,:ITEM_DESCRIPTION);
TEXT_IO.PUT(myfile,CHR(9));
TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE(myfile,:line_total);

TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(myfile);

return (TRUE);

Hi James,
For Printing a bitmapped image from Apps :
First of all in your Report designer make this bitmap file as a link file (ensure that the bitmap file is in the same directory as your report). so that path is not required.
Ftp this bitmap file in your srw directory.. in Unix.
Try it out..Now it will run perfectly..

Hope that helps..

Report as a Concurrent Programme from another Prog

From: Rajesh TL priyarajesh@yahoo.com
To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: Reports as a Concurrent Program from another

Hi

I have a Oracle Reports Pgm that I registered as a Concurrent Program (Con Pgm A).

The report runs and displays as desired when I execute the same as a concurrent program.

The requirement is that another concurrent program (Con Pgm B) does some DML and Calls Con Pgm A through

FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST

The same report when launched through the FND_REQUEST function from Con Pgm B displays the report with some '|' like characters (mostly) in the start of each line,

I have a feeling that Con Pgm A does not default some Height/Width Settings from Con Pgm A settings when called from Con Pgm B.

Has anyone encountered this .

Please throw some light
Thanks and regards

From: "Jonathan Stuart" jdstuart@globalnet.co.uk
To: oraapps-l@cpa.qc.ca
Subject: Re: Special Copy File

Catherine,

Special Copy File does work with custom reports however there is a bug in the Define Concurrent Program form which will prevent it from working. When a new concurrent program is defined as having 'Text' output the record in the database will contain the string 'Text' rather than 'TEXT' in the appropriate column. When a concurrent job is run the output type is also stored in the requests table. If you try and do a Special File Copy and the output type is not valid (i.e. it is 'Text' not 'TEXT') you will get the error you describe. The solution to this is to change the column in the table storing the definitions so that any occurrence of 'Text' is changed to 'TEXT'. From then on when you run those reports you will be able to use Copy File and it will work. If you do this remember to make the change again after any further concurrent jobs are defined. To Copy File any jobs you have already run make the same change in the FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS table.

Regards,
Jonathan.
