Oracle Interfaces

Procedure:    

1)      We populate the Staging Table

2)      Performed Validation on Staging Table.

3)      Populate GL Interface

4)      Used Concurrent Program: Journal IMPORT.

5)      Report Used is: Journal Import Execution Report – That gives Info on failed import.

6)      If we get few errors, then we fix the errors in GL_Interface.

7)      If we get many Errors: Then we delete IMPORT Journals using

Concurrent Process: Delete Journal Import Data.

-          we clean the GL_Interface

-          Fix the data from the Source and start over.

8)      Post Journal Entries after successful Import.

Interface Tables:  GL_INTERFACE

Base Tables      :         GL_JE_BACTHES,

GL_JE_HEADERS,

GL_JE_LINES.         

[GL_JE_Set_Of_Books, Gl_Code_Combinations, GL_JE_Source_TL, GL_JE_Categoies_TL, GL_Periods, fnd_Currencies]

Error Records    :  Open GL Execution Report output to see the error record statuses.

Staging Table Cols: Accounting Date, Date Created, Actual Flag, Category Name, Source Name, Entered Debit/Credit, Segments 1-5, References 21-27, CCID, ProcessFlag, ErrorMsg.

                                                                                                                    (New, Yes, Error)

Interface Cols: Status, SetOfBooksID, AccountingDate, CurrencyCode, DateCreated, CreatedBy, ActualFlag, UserJECategorName, UserJESourcename, Entered Debit/Credit, Segments 1-5, References 21-27.          

Concurrent Program:           Journal Import

Validations Type:

1) Batch Level:           a) SOB                        b) BatchName                         c) PeriodName

                        This is done to ensure that batch doesn’t exist already.

2) Journal Level:         Journal Entry Name, Currency Code, Accouting Date

3) Accounting Validations / Journal Entry Line level Validation

            Code Combination ID: 1) Should be enabled in Accounting Date.

Validations for the staging table:

Check if the inputted data file is already uploaded into staging table.

                                    Check if the record already exists in the interface table.

Check if the journal already exists in the GL application.

Procedure :  Payable Open Interface is used to create invoices from Invoice records in the payable open interface Table. During import payable, we validate invoice Records and rejects invoice records that have insufficient record or data. Successfully imported invoices have distributions and have schedule payments and can be queried, modified and approved in the invoice work bench.

1)      We get files from different sources e.g. Flat Files or EDI.

2)      We load the data into staging table, then validate the data  and then insert the data into AP_Invoice_Interface and AP_Invoice_Line_Interface; And submit to the Payable Open Interface Import Program.

3)      If the status = ‘Processed’ then

Submit Invoice validation process to validate (Approve) the invoice.

            If the status = ‘Rejected’ then

-          Fix the invoices in AP_Invoice_Interface

-          Resubmit Payable Open Interface Program.

 

AR Auto LockBox

Definition: AutoLockbox is a service that commercial bank offers to corporate customers for

     outsourcing their Accounts Receivables payment processing. We can use   

     AutoLockBox for historical data conversion. We can only load Cash Receipts, not

     miscellaneous receipts as there is no invoice & customers.

Set Ups done before using Autolockbox Prog:

1)      Set Up Receipt Bank : We define Bank with ‘Account Use’: Internal where checks from

   customers are deposited. [ ARàSetUpàReceiptsàBank ]

2)      Set Up  Receipt Class : Here we assign Payment  methods. [SetUpàReceiptsàClass]

3)      Set Up Receipt Source: We define Receipt Batch Source and assign Receipt Class, payment

  method and Bank Account to this source. [Set upàReceipts àReceipt Source ]

4)      Define LockBox : Define Lockbox to use the Receivable AutoLockbox  Program.

[Set UpàReceipt à LockBoxes àLockbox ]

5)      Define Transmission Format : Autolockbox uses Transmission format for importing data

      into receivables. Here we define Lockbox Header, Payment,     

      Lockbox Trailer.

      [ Setup àReceiptàLockboxàTransmission Format ]

[ Define LockBox tells how Lockbox will handle Invalid Transaction Number.

1. Post Partial Amount as Unapplied: Apply the receipt to the valid transactions, then import the remaining receipt amount with a status of Unapplied.

2. Reject Entire Receipt: It doesn’t import the invalid receipt and data will remain in Interface table [ Ar_Payments_Interface ]. We can edit the invalid records in the “Lockbox Transmission Data Window”, then resubmit the validation step for the receipts before Lockbox can import it into Receivables.

]

Process:

1)      We create Control File for flat data file, we get from bank.

2)      Move the .dat file and .ctl file to $AR_TOP/bin

3)      After that we first do Import, then validation and finally Post QuickCash.

AutoLockBox is a three step Process:-

1. IMPORT – During this step, Lockbox reads and formats the data from our bank file into

                       Interface table < AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE_ALL> using a SQL*Loader script.

2. Validation– This checks data in the interface table for compatibility with Receivables. Once the 

                         data is validated , the data is transferred into QuickCash tables [Receipt Tables]

                     (AR_INTERIM_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL, AR_INTERIM_CASH_RCPT_LINES_ALL).

3. Post Quick Cash - It applies the receipts and update our customer’s balances, So data goes

          to Base tables.

Interface tables:         AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE_ALL                

                                    AR_INTERIM_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL

AR Auto Invoice Interface

SetUp Needed :

1)      Define Transaction [i.e Invoice ] Source : [ Set UpàTransactionàSources ]

2)      Define Transaction Flexfield [i.e DFF]    : [ Set Up àFinancialàDescriptiveàSegments 

Process:

1)      Created Staging Table and then its Synonym in Apps schema.

2)      Using SQL*Loader, populate staging table.

3)      Run the AutoInvoice Interface (i.e pakage we created ) to populate Interface tables.

4)      Run the Concurrent Prog : AutoInvoice Master Program’ for importing to Base Tables.

5)      If we get any error, we can use ‘AutoInvoice Correct Form’ to fix the errors.

customer API

(Every API has 3 out Parameters – Return_Status, Msg_Count, Msg_Data)

Algorithm Used in API is:

1)      We create a record variable of the desired type (Party /Organization)

2)      Then we Populate the record with information from source.

3)      Then Call the Procedure to create Party / Organization and pass the record to the procedure as a parameter so that procedure put the information of the record variable in the base table.

1. Set the organization id

Exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(‘204’);
