Account Generator, and AME

Hi,
2 questions-
1.Is it possible to use more than one account generator process for a particular accounting flexfield structure? I have attached the process 'Generate Default Accounts' to the item type 'PO Requisition Account Generator', however is there any other way to use a different process?
2.Is it possible to use AME in a few cases, and the Approval workflow for the other cases in the Requisition approval process, based on the Requisition document set up? If yes, how?
thanks!

For your second question,
refer to How To Setup And Use AME For Purchase Requisition Approvals [ID 434143.1]
Thanks

PO Requisition Account Generator Customization

Hi,
We want to customize the PO Requisition Account Code generator seeded workflow.Please let me know which is the way to go about it so that it doesnt get overwritten by Patches or Upgrades.
Thanks,
Ramendra.

Hi Ramendra,
here is suggestion that I think will work although I am not a WF person.
Copy the Seeded WF to a customized WF-definition and make your changes and upload the customized flow to the system.
Then in Setup > Flexfields > Key >Accounts you assign you customized account Generator wf to the Item Type 'PO Account Generator' and 'PO Requisition Account Generator'.
This way the application points towards the customized WF process, which you renamed and therefore should not be overwritten at Patch/Upgrade. Note though that any patch containing the WF-Defs could potential hold a change that you would want to migrate into your customized versions.

Account Generator....

Hi
How account generator is set up, and how the approval of PO/Requisition linked to
it.
pl explain on this.
Best regards
Raj

Account generator is used to generate default account for transactions in modules like PO, AR, FA etc. Its workflow based which can be customized. Oracle provides default account generator, which generates default accounts at various stages.
In PO/ Requisitions when you try to save the record, account generator starts building the account based on setups done and logic in generator and assigns the various accounts.
Through paybles or receivables manager responsibility navigate:
Flexfields -> Key -> Accounts
Query All
You will see processes like "PO Account Generator" and account generator process associated with it (may be like 'Generate Default Account" or like that)
Look for Oracle Applications Flexfields Guide for more information on how to define.

Account Generator - Release 11 Asset Module

Does anyone have suggestions on making Acct Generator run faster? We have approx 15,000 active assets and 70,000 retired assets. In test, this program runs for 3 days and then errors out at 15000 records. Oracle keeps saying that the initial run will "take a long time". I cannot accept that as an answer. We have applied all the latest patches to the FA Module as well. HELP!

You can access the information in Metalink via the Technical Libraries, under Financial Apps, under AP and then look at the manuals available. There are manuals on the Account Generators and how to alter them. You must use the Workflow Builder to edit the workflow processes and functions. The functions can be changed via SQL to do what you want.

Can anyone tell me if the Release 11 Flexfields manual has useful information pertaining to the customization of Account Generator?
Does anyone know what is the best instructional source for customizing Account Generator and making it operational? (or should I say "developing a process in Workflow using SQL, and tying it to Account Generator?).
What method is used for Workflow development -- drag and drop, PL-SQL, or a combination of the two?
How are processes edited in Workflow? Are the graphic depictions of processes in Workflow, and in the Customization example in Oracle Projects Manual, editable? How do I access the code?
I know what SQL statements to use in order to retrieve the the account information that is needed. I just don't see where or how to insert it into Workflow (if that is the correct approach).

Asking for iCloud account name and password to play iTunes radio when I have done it in the past many times without this question. Will not accept my apple id and password. Will not save my changed password. Where do I start?

I have a MAC with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2, 8GB, 2.7 GHz, intel core i5. Until 2 days ago, I could click on iTunes radio, pick my station and listen. Then 2 days ago, I do this and system asks for my iCloud account id and password. Does not recognize apple id or password. I change the password, does not save it. Screen that lists 2 step verification asks for added security questions, I do those and still will not allow me access. What do I do and where do I start? I thought I should download the update to OS X. I did that, still no change. Please help direct me to where I need to go to fix this problem.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

What are the accounts generated in subcontracting in MM module?

I want the account transactions which are debitd and credited in subcontracting transaction from MM point of view?

Hi Srinivas
Here is the Complete Sub Contracting Cycle and Accounts
(1) You have a material that can be procured externally, and you have maintained BOM with components. Any waste generated and received during subcontracting process can be maintained as component with negative quantity.
(2) You create a subcontracting PO (PO with Item Category L). You can also maintain Purchase Info Record for Subcontract category for material and subcontractor.
(3) You make a transfer posting to issue components for SC PO. Material is sent to subcontractor. As material remains under your ownership, system does not make any value entry. But quantity is shown as "Material Provided to Vendor"
(4) You receive finished material against SC-PO. You also specify components consumed in manufacturing of finished goods. Additionally, if you have negative components in BOM, now you'll also receive subcontracting by-products. There are three events, so three accounting entries are generated:
DR FG Stock/ SC By-Product Stock
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(for finished goods received)
DR Subcontracting Charges
CR GR/IR Clg
(for moneys payable to Subcontractor)
DR Consumption (Components)
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(material provided to Vendor is now charged to expense)
(5) You do the IV for SC Invoice, and the process is complete.

Query about Inventory Cost of Goods Sold Account Generator WF Customization

Hi
We are trying to Customize the 'Inventory Cost of Goods Sold Account Generator' workflow for our client in Oracle Applications 11.5.10 instance.
We have successfully uploaded the modified workflow and changed the GL Account Generator Process to point to the Custom Workflow.
Database is bounced after this change, but the changes are not taking effect.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
You shouldn't need to bounce the database for any changes to take affect (although if you were experiencing the "existing state of the packages has been discarded" error then it would clear that).
Switch on debugging so that the workflow is persisted rather than being run in forced synchronous mode, and then see what route the process is taking. If you open the workflow from the database via workflow builder, are you seeing the correct version?

HT5517 I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about.

I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about?

You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud. Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

Account assignment and G/L account

Hi
Im a SAP-BW Consultant. I need some information in MM.
1) what is account assignment ..why it is required ...and how it is link to FI.I need some information regading account assignment .
2) what is G/L account...why it is required and how can it link to FI.
Pls help me

Dear Kumar,
According to the document principle. a document must be generated and stored in the system for every transaction/event that causes a change in stock.
When posting a goods movement in the SAP System, the following documents are created:
Material document
In the Inventory Management system, when a goods movement is posted, a material document is generated that serves as proof of the movement and as a source of information for any applications that follow.
A material document consists of a header and at least one item. The header contains general data about the movement (for example, its date). Each item describes one movement.
Accounting document
If the movement is relevant for Financial Accounting (that is, if it leads to an update of the G/L accounts), an accounting document is created parallel to the material document.
In some cases, several accounting documents are created for a single material document. This might be the case, for example, if you have two material document items with different plants that belong to different company codes.
The G/L accounts involved in a goods movement are updated through an automatic account assignment.
For goods receipts for purchase orders, goods movements for stock transport orders and consignment withdrawals, business partners may have different local currencies. Therefore, as well as the local currency, the accounting document must also contain another currency for processing and postings. For this purpose, accounting documents created as a result of these goods movements will automatically be managed in the local currency and in the document currency. You can switch between both currencies by choosing Settings -> Currency display.

General Ledger Accounting:
The central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture for external accounting and accounts. Recording all business transactions (primary postings as well as settlements from internal accounting) in a software system that is fully integrated with all the other operational areas of a company ensures that the accounting data is always complete and accurate.
The SAP FI General Ledger has the following features:
Free choice of level: corporate group or company
Automatic and simultaneous posting of all sub-ledger items in the appropriate general ledger accounts (reconciliation accounts)
Simultaneous updating of general ledger and cost accounting areas
Real-time evaluation of and reporting on current accounting data, in the form of account displays, financial statements with different financial statement versions and additional analyses.
Essentially, the general ledger serves as a complete record of all business transactions. It is the centralized, up-to-date reference for the rendering of accounts. Actual individual transactions can be checked at any time in realtime processing by displaying the original documents, line items, and transaction figures at various levels such as:
Account information
Journals
Totals/transaction figures
Balance sheet/profit and loss evaluations
Account postings form an integrated part of SAP accounting. All transactions entered in the sub ledger accounts end up as general ledger postings in SAP. Thus, a posting to sub ledger account say account receivable, account payable will have an effect on the general ledger. As a rule, any accounting transaction, which affects the general ledger invariably results in a GL account posting.
But how does SAP recognize the correct GL account to be posted based on the sub ledger transaction entry. SAP recognized every transaction or entry in the sub ledger as a line item. Having said that, each line item has a unique account number, amount, and posting key. SAP FIGL uses this information in identifying the account to be posted. Similar to account postings, documents created in other modules such as production planning, sales & distribution, materials management, controlling, also get posted if they affect the general ledger i.e. SAP GL. A user in SAP does not even have to manually post a document / line item. SAP can be configured for automatic posting though an option is available for manual posting as well.

Help Required in : PO Account generator workflow customization.

Hi All,
I am new to workflow, I want to customize PO account generator workflow in 11i. I need to build the logic to populate charge-account on PO.
I have identified the process in PO Account generator workflow but I am not sure whether I should pick the same process for modification or create new process.
As I don't want if any upgrade patch applied , it will overwrite modified standard process. I have read articles on preserving customizations but couldn't get much from it, they are very confusing.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Asif,
Thanks for the reply.
I referred the links mentioned by you, but couldn't find anything relevant to re-triggering of Account Generator workflow.
The customizations I did are working fine and is triggering the workflow. But my Question is, what are the circumstances that re-trigger the Account Generator for a given Purchase Order.
To elaborate, say for instance I have created a PO for PO category 'Electrical Equipments' furnishing all other details and charge account is generated for this category, and the PO is saved. Now I come back and change the PO category to 'Medical Equipments' for the same PO, retaining all the other info same.
So here, will the Account generator be re-triggered to generate different charge account?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Nivedana

Regarding po error:buiding default account distribution and please wait....

hi ,
i 'll appreciate if any one can help me in this:
we have applied patches to our system here OAPPS 11.03,after this whenever i go to create purchase orders or requisitions ..shipment and then distribution ,i am getting error that "BUILDING DEFAULT ACCOUNT DISTRIBUTION AND PLEASE WAIT..." but i don't get values for charge,budget,accrual and variance accounts on distribution screen.i checked the wfstatus.sql(account generator workflow file) and run that by giving item_key and item_type for PO,i didn't get any output i.e no rows selected for every activities.Then i used trace on and read the trace file in which i saw one error ORA:00936 which means missing exp(i think) and one wrong sql statement is appearing in trace file.it has comma before from clause..i am not able to understand why is it happening?if any one knows about this then please let me know...is it workflow problem or something else?
thanks in anticipation

Muthu,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Please find below the example:
PO item qty - 100
Cost distribution:
Line 1 - 50
Line 2 - 30
Line 3 - 20
Now the PO has been ordered. PO in backend is showing three account assignments.
After that, I have deleted the fiirst 2 account assignments (1 & 2).
Now the PO will show like:
PO item qty - 100
Cost distribution:
Line 1 - 50 (deleted)
Line 2 - 30 (deleted)
Line 3 - 20
Now the Po item qty and account assignment qty are not same. In this it should give an error. But I am still able to order the PO. When the PO has been transfered to backend, I could see only one account assignment in ME23N but the PO item qty is showing there. Because of that I could able to process confirmation and invoice.
Now, if I change the qty of this specific item, then the new qty is getting updated in teh account assignment tab against the third item.
Rather, if I try to add another item to the PO, then at that time it is giving the error messasge: Sum of quantities > xxx < sum of total quantities.
Till invoice has been posted, it is not giving the error message.
Thanks,
SS

How to get Asset Id in FA Account Generator

Hi all,
I've defined a DFF on Asset which I use for a segment in account generator. I looked at FA Account generator attributes, I did not find any attributes for fetching Asset Id.
Please let me know if it can be done.
Thanks
Kishore

you can use the DISTRIBUTION_ID attribute to get the ASSET_ID value in the account generator code that you create
For e.g. v_disid := apps.wf_engine.getitemattrnumber( itemtype => itemtype
,itemkey => itemkey
,aname => 'DISTRIBUTION_ID'); and use this
select asset_id
into v_astid
from fa_distribution_history
where distribution_id = v_disid
