How to Create Code Combination ID by API

I was on an integration assignment between Home Grown Project System and Oracle Payable. A big gap which I faced there was how to maintain single source of Account Code Combinations. We had following options to manage this issue.
Built a View of GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS table and pass Combination and ID from Oracle to Custom System
Use API and create Code Combination
I used second way to handle this. Here is script which i used in that Assignment ( it works for me but you need to be careful as it’s not documented any where 🙂
—–Create Function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION APPS.XXX_CREATE_CCID
( P_CONCAT_SEGS IN VARCHAR2
) RETURN VARCHAR2

L_STATUS BOOLEAN;
L_COA_ID NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS_ID
INTO L_COA_ID
FROM GL_SETS_OF_BOOKS
WHERE SET_OF_BOOKS_ID = 2021; –UPDATE THIS WITH SET OF BOOKS ID

L_STATUS := FND_FLEX_KEYVAL.VALIDATE_SEGS(

No approver found for Purchase Requisition XX

I was working on one client site for AME setup with Purchase Requisition. I finished setup for AME transaction Type “Purchase Requisition Approval”. When requester was submitting requisition system initially shows that it’s in process but after one minute requester was getting notification “No approver found for Purchase Requisition”.
I checked from AME Test Workbench functionality by using transaction ID system was generating approval list as per setup. In other words everything was setup properly but still after submission user was getting error while submitting from Core Purchasing Form.

If user was completing this purchase requisition by using iProcurement Checkout functionality request was going for approval to supervisor as per setup.

After 2 days of working, found out one silly problem .guess what????????

Define Valid Grades for Position in Oracle HRMS

Define Valid Grades for Positions
Oracle HRMS lets you define Valid Grades for Positions. These definitions will be used to provide warning messages in the Assignment window when you enter Position and Grade information.
Navigate to Position Definitation Form
Query the position and click on the Valid Grades button
Enter and save the valid grades for each position. You can enter a single grade, or a set of grades.

How to Get Supplier Bank Detail In R12

In Release 12, Payables Supplier Bank Information is stored somewhere else instead of PO_VENDORS table as in 11i.

Please provide the tables names where bank account information and other bank related information is stored?

Join Processing in Oracle

In a query involving more than one table, join processing is involved to determine the most optimal plan to perform the join. This comprises:

1. Join cardinality
2. Enumerating join orders
3. Evaluating the costs associated with each join path under each join method.

Join Cardinality

Join cardinality is the determination of the number of rows that will make up the joined relation. In the worst case, we have no join predicates and the cardinality is the Cartesian product of the two or more tables involved. But typically when two or more tables participate in a join, the join is based on values of some columns. Using the statistical descriptions on the columns and the number of rows in each table, we calculate the cardinality of the joined form.

Join Orders

A “Join Order” is a particular permutation of ordering the access to tables participating in the join to complete the joined relation. Join orders depend on the type of join or the join topology. Depending on the structuring of the join predicates, joins can be classified into various types viz chain, star, cycle, complete graph, etc. For example, consider the query with a three table join –

SELECT … FROM t1,t2,t3 WHERE

t1.col1 = t2.col1 AND

t2.col1 = t3.col1 ;

Tables t1, t2 and t3 are joined in a chain order.

Tables t1,t2,t3 can be joined in n! i.e n factorial way .

where n is number of tables .

So in This case it will be 3*2*1=6

Possible join orders:

t1->t2->t3, t2->t1->t3, t2->t3->t1, t3->t2->t1

t1->t3->t2, t3->t1->t2

Note the Join orders such as t1->t3->t2, t3->t1->t2 are evaluated using

Cartesian product as there is no join predicate specified between t1 and t3.

Each of the join orders are possible and need to be evaluated for resource usage. As number of tables increase, depending on the join topology, the search space or the possible permutations go up steeply. Several techniques are used to prune the search space and reduce the work involved in identifying the best join order.

Evaluating Join Path Costs

For each join order, the optimizer evaluates the cost of performing the join by breaking the order into pairs. The first part is made of the relations already joined and the second part of the next table to be joined. Costs are considered using both join methods currently implemented in the kernel, the sort-merge join method and the nested-loops join method.

In the sort-merge method, the tables participating in the join are first sorted by the join columns. The sorted relations are then joined. The cost of performing join by this method includes the sorting costs and the cost of retrieving sorted records to perform the join.

In the nested-loops method, we scan the outer table row one at a time and for each row retrieved, we access the inner table based on the join columns. The outer table will actually be a joined relation where more than two tables are joined. The cost of performing the join in this method includes the cost of accessing the outer table and for each row retrieved and the cost of fetching the group of rows from the inner table based on the join columns.

For each table in a particular join order, there is a large number of possible access paths, the table can be accessed using a ROWID or could be accessed by doing a table scan. Alternatively, it may be accessed using a single index or a cluster scan or a merge of several single column no unique indexes.

Several rules are used to narrow down or prune the search space to speed up access path selection. For example, if there is a lookup by ROWID, it is considered the best and we don’t bother to evaluate other access paths open to the table.

How can I unreserved quantity, Reserved against a closed / canceled sale order

Problem

In one of my operating unit sale officer enter order and released to ware house, after that sale officer cancel that sale order. Now it showing me quantity reserved for that sale order in system but actually order is canceled how can I unreserved this quantity

Solution

For 11i – 11.5.7 / INV.G and above

Script to Clear Orders Stuck in Workflow @ Releasing

If you have some order lines in booked status and the ship line activity is in error instead of ‘Notified’ then use the following script (But check on Test Environment first). Pass the line_id for one of the line from problematic order and check if this will progress the line to ‘Awaiting Shipping’ and the work flow activity to Notified status.

What Notification Types are available in Oracle Service

The following Notifications are available:”You can set up the application to automatically notify the service request owner and customer contacts associated with the service request whenever a certain event occurs, for example, whenever a service request is created, closed, or reassigned. Notifications can be sent via Oracle Workflow notifications or by e-mail.

Oracle TeleService includes a notification workflow and notification templates suitable for different types of events, but implementers must set up the rules that trigger the workflow. The rules make it possible to selectively notify users only about events of interest to the organization. This notification functionality enhances and replaces notifications through the Call Support Process workflow which can be associated with Service Request Types. The Call Support Process notifies users each and every time a service request is updated. This release includes one seeded notification rule: If service request status changes to closed, then notify the primary contacts of related service requests.

The following table describes the events that can trigger a notification message to be sent and the scope of the rule you can create.

1. Contact Added to Service Request

2. Published Solution Added to Service Request

3. Service Request Status Changed

4. Service Request Created

5. Service Request Owner Changed

6. Relationship Created

7. Relationship Removed

8. Service Request Updated

The Notifications that are available in Oracle Service can be set up via the Customer Support -> Setup -> Service Requests -> Notification Rules form.
