APEX and 11.5.10 Payables Open Interface Tables

Hi,
Wanted to see if APEX would be a tool that could be used to connect to oracle application interface tables and load data from a spread sheet into the ap_invoices_interface and ap_invoice_lines_interface tables. Once this is done the information could be interfaced into the application.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Scott,
Do you have experience in how to populate Oracle eBusiness Suite Open Interface tables with Excel-data using a APEX form/report/process?
If so, can you give me a clue how to do it? Uploading CSV will not work, because of treating text-fields as numbers. Our item numbers look like numbers, but must be handled as text. Example: 002.112.002
Regards,
Geert.

Payables Open Interface Import error

Hi all
I have the following issue in EBS R12.
RDBMS : 11.2.0.3.0
Oracle Applications : 12.1.3
I'm inserting records into the AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE and AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE tables and then running the "Payables Open Interface Import" concurrent program.
When I set the SOURCE column in the AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE table as a user-defined source (from AP_LOOKUP_CODES wher lookup_type = 'SOURCE') I get an error. If instead, I use a seeded source (ERS), it works. Every other field is exactly the same.
There is no difference between the lookups in the AP_LOOKUP_CODES. There is one difference in the lookups in that ERS is created as a "INVOICE TRX SOURCE" in the Purchasing Lookups. I'm unable to add my user-defined source there because it is a protected System lookup.
Looking a bit more, I noticed that ERS seems to have some additional lookups associated to it. Is there some configuration I need to do for my user-defined lookup? If so, where should I do it?
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, what was your solution?
Cheers,
Sean

I get the following error message: "Invalid Liability Liability account is invalid". I've tried both populating the ACCTS_PAY_CODE_COMBINATION_ID field and leaving it null. Some googling also said mentioned that particular error message may be misleading.
And yes, I'm passing the correct code from the lookup_type. The only difference is that for the one that works, I'm using an Oracle seeded source lookup. However, in the lookups screen I can't see where there are any special configuration.
I should also mention that the invoices will be imported from an external system, and there will be no PO attached to the invoice. I'm not sure if this info is relevent though.
I've done some researching and thinking and maybe there is some kind of profile option I need to set but I haven't been able to find it yet.
Also, I can't find the AP_ERRORS_GT table or any other closely named ones.

Prevent RCV Txn Processor from calling Payables Open Interface Import

When we create ASBN and run Receiving Transaction Processor, it automatically inserts invoice data into AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE and AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE then triggers Payables Open Interface Import.
We have tried to set PO: Create ASBN invoices using AP interface tables to No but this creates the invoice via API instead of via the interface. We would still like to use the interface but we need to call Payables Open Interface Import manually.
How can we do this?
Thanks in advance.
Anna Fajardo

That is correct, the documentation does specify not to populate a value into this field, however there is no harm in doing so.
Alternatively, if you are not using the Payables Open Interface Workflow, then you could either populate a value of "Y" or "S" into the WORKFLOW_FLAG column, to prevent the invoices from getting imported.
Or you could just supply a dummy value for the org_id column in the interface table

Mark Invoices as Paid through Payables Open Interface

Hi.
I have looked at the table definitions for importing invoices into Oracle Payables through the Payables Open Interface. It is clear to me how simply writing to these two tables: AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE and AP_INVOICES_LINES_INTERFACE.
However, the invoices that i want to import into Oracle have already been processed and paid. It seems that there is no way through these two tables to mark an invoice as Paid and pass in the associated the payment data (for example - a check number). I am retrieving data from an external invoice and payment processing web site and importing this into Oracle E-Business Suite through these two tables. So is there:
- A way to mark these invoices as Paid through the import and include the check number it was paid with?
- If not what is the best way to accomplish that in Oracle? Is there any other interface that Oracle provides that will allow this. Do I need to create some kind of routine or workflow in Oracle need to be created to do this? I am new to Oracle, so it is not clear at the moment.
Thanks!
Scott

Scott,
You cannot bring in paid invoices through payables open interface table.
This is one workaround you can use.
1. import the invoices through open interface, the interface record will be marked as Processed.
2. As soon as your invoice is created, your liability account will be hit and will be increased and cash account will be decreased (I m not using the credit/debit terms purposefully).
3. You then create a payment batch , and pay the invoice, this will balance the liability and cash accounts
This way you can simulate the payment you did outside the system and still your books will be in sync.
Things you would need to take care of:
1. Payment Dates
2. Stop the payment instrument (check/creditmemo/debitmemo) from going out
Lastly, this is a OAF forum, you might get better replies in AP or EBiz forums, so please post your query there.
Thanks

Payables open interface not populating voucher_num in R12

Hi All,
We are migrating a set of invoices from 11i to R12 and we want the voucher num to be brought in as is.
The payables open interface table has processed the invoice successfully but the voucher_num did not get populated in the base table.
Can anyone let me know how we can populate the voucher num as is from 11i through Payables open interface.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
MJ

For whatever it is worth....
This is resolved by ledger set up--> Accounting Setups and adding the balancing segments for which the accounts relate to.

"Payables Open Interface Purge" Program

Hi Guys,
In our production system, it takes 3 minutes to open "Open Interface Invoices" form (AP Manager>Invoices>Entry>Open Interface Invoices). So what should we do so as to avoid this.
I was thinking to delete data from two tables (AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE & AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE) based on certain crieterions. Like all the records which have been successfully imported i.e. with status='PROCESSED' can be deleted. So, I can achieve this using two methods:
1. Manually using SQL Delete statement. i.e.
DELETE FROM AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE WHERE status='PROCESSED';
DELETE FROM AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE
WHERE invoice_id IN (SELECT invoice_id FROM AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE WHERE status='PROCESSED');
2. Or I can use "Payables Open Interface Purge" Program.
I ran this program for my specific source, and checked the count from tables but the result is the same. This means this program has not deleted any of the processed records from these two tables for the particular source.
What can be the reason for this? Please suggest me on this.
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Sumir Chawla

Hi,
Thanks for your reply friends!
I ran the program for some source. It completed successfully, log shown below:
MSG-00001: (Import_purge 1) Check control table for the purge process
MSG-00001: (Check_control_table 1) Lock the control table
MSG-00003: (Check_control_table 2) Fetch import_requests
MSG-00007: (Check_control_table 5) Insert record into control table
MSG-00008: (Check_control_table 6) Commit
MSG-00002: (Import_purge ) Deleting records in interface tables...
MSG-00008: (Import_purge 5) Commit to the database
MSG-00010: (Import_purge 7) Delete the previous record in ap_interface_controls
But when I checked both the tables ap_invoices_interface and ap_invoice_lines_interface from backend, the records which should not exist for that particular source and which imported successfully (as purge all is 'No') are still existing in the tables. If I am correct, after successfull run, records should not exist for the source which have status "processed". Please correct me if I am wrong. I think I should log SR.
Thanks & Regards,
Sumir Chawla

Payables Open Interface Import

Currently the AP folks run the 'Payables Open Interface Import' for certain types of source's.
I am trying to run the 'Payables Open Interface Import' request for a newer source. I am getting the following error:
REP-1419: 'beforereport': PL/SQL program aborted.
My parameters are almost the same (only the source name and the batch name are different) as what the AP folks are using. Their requests completed successfully...mine did not. How would I know which part of the before report is causing it to fail?
Thanks,
Chiru

The before report trigger error does occur for n number of reasons...some of the solutions could be
1. Setting up the debug/summarized params to Y or
2. Two payables open interface import programs running at the same time and due to non-incompatibility setups, one of them is getting errored out. Try setting up incompatibility and this error will go away - the only problem with this approach is that if this program needs to run on frequent basis, then one will wait on other to complete and consume lot of time.
3. Try to increase threads of concurrent manager under which this program runs for better resouce management.
4. Check the normal AP side setups such as tax code definition, supplier site 'pay site flag' etc --Although before report error occurs at the place in rdf where these checks are yet not done but thought to share with you if it helps
Thanks

Note:
1] The program run successfully everytime, but there is no output in the output file.
2] In the Log file One Message is there saying 'Zero(0) invoices were created during the process run.'
3] All the initail setup is right, i think, because I ran the same program few days back and it was working fine and the invoices were created at that time. Now what is going wrong I am unable to figure it out.
Please help ASAP.Thanks in Advance

Can you run the program - Payables Open Interface Import with Debug mode set to Yes.
Once the program completes sucessfully verify the log file of the program and try to find out if there are any invoices which is causing the exceptions.
Also confirm that the invoices which are in the AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE and AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE tables are of the correct period in which you are trying to create the invoices.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards
