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.

I am seeking information about the customization of Account Generator, and the interaction of Workflow and Account Generator in Oracle Financials, Rel. 11. My goal is to load account information in Oracle Purchasing and Accounts Payable based on project association.
When I read about Account Generator, there are "further reading" references to Oracle Workflow. However, in the Workflow manual, I do not find any references to Account Generator. There are also references to Flexfields Manual for Release 11 which I do not have.
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).

  • Balancing the G/L accounts to the Asset Module

    Hi All,
    Every month after depreciation is posted I run 2 reports that compare the G/L accounts for depreciation expense to the asset module to make sure they balance.
    At the end of December 2009, this report is out of balance $687K for cc:xxxx. Could you please help.
    The report for the G/L is run using GL Account Balances - fiscal year 2009, reporting period 12
    The report for the Asset Module is run using the Asset History Sheet (S_ALR_87011990) - Report date: 12/31/2009
    Below is the result of the above reports.
    CCde  | PreviousMnthBal. | Debit Rept Colmn | Credt Rept Colmn|      GL             |   AM                  |Adjustments  |GL - AM VAR|
    XXXX |    48,402,976.59   |   8,032,994.69     |  4,192,875.68      | 52,243,095.6 | (53,087,344.91)|1,531,000.00 |  686,750.69 |
    Can you please give me an idea where to look for this out of balance? I know ABST2 is an option, but when I run this now, it comes up zero. I don't know how to run this for a prior year.
    Thanks in advance.
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay,
    If I understood correctly you are trying to balance  Accumulated Depreciation accounts (from the AA module) with the Cost Depreciation Accounts.
    If they don`t balance zero, it mostly likely means, that some user has posted manually deprecian in your GL, not using the depreciation program.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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

  • Offsetting Account & Offsetting Account description in Asset Module reports

    Hi,
    Good day to you
    Is there any report in Asset Module where we can get the Offsetting Account and Offsetting Account description (both detailed and Summary)?
    I would be very grateful if somebody could throw light on the above.
    Regards

    The only reports from FI-AA that could be useful are RAGITT01 and RABEST01. Maybe you should try to find a appropriate report in FI.

  • Asset Books - Account Generator Defaults

    Hi all.
    I am learning how to set up R12 assets.
    I am in the process of creating an asset book.
    On the natural accounts tab there is a required entry of Account Generator Defaults.
    I think that this basically auto fills in the segments, apart from the actual account numbers?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks...

    Overview of the Account Generator
    Applications need to construct Accounting Flexfield combinations automatically for various purposes.
    The Account Generator feature uses Oracle Workflow technology to provide applications with the ability to construct key flexfield combinations automatically using customized construction criteria. Each site can customize how they want to build key flexfield combinations.
    Benefits of the Account Generator using Oracle Workflow
    Automatic construction of key flexfield combinations speeds users' data entry.
    Automatic construction of key flexfield combinations improves accuracy of data entry because users do not need to determine what key flexfield combination to enter.

  • Account Generator Oracle Assets R11.03

    The functionality of Oracle 10.7 Assets allowed the expense code combination to come from the flexbuilder.
    However the R11 Assets functionality does not select from the Account Generator, instead it has reverted to the old R9 method by using the distribution line.
    IS ANYBODY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM? solutions welcome?

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by ([email protected]):
    Hi there,
    Have you migrated from 10.7 to Rel 11? If thats the case, then the flexbuilder rules get migrated by default. In Rel 11, the account generator gets the balancing segment value from the distribution line of the asset assignment for ALL types of accounts and it gets the cost centre segment value from the distribution line of the asset assignment only for the depreciation expense accounts.
    Well, you could modify this by modifying the Account Generator using Oracle Flow wherein, you could define a process and specify "Generate Account using Flexbuilder Rules". Hope this is helpful. But you do need to take care that other existing processes are not affected bec of this. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

  • Error generating release against scheduling agreement  (cause 6) in ME38

    Hello Experts,
    Need your inputs on the the below error getting generated in ME38
    Error generating release against scheduling agreement  (cause 6)
    Message no. 06857
    Diagnosis
    The function module for generating a scheduling agreement release (forecast delivery schedule or JIT delivery schedule) has run up against an error, causing processing to be terminated.
    In this case the cause of the error is 6.
    System Response
    The error may involve one of the following situations:
    1: The nature of the error cannot be specified precisely.
    2: The forecast delivery schedule or the JIT delivery schedule was generated but no message record could be generated.
    3: A document type for which the functions "Generate forecast delivery schedule" or "Generate JIT delivery schedule" are not defined may be involved.
    4: A material for which the function "Generate JIT delivery schedule" is not defined may be involved.
    5: A scheduling agreement that has not yet been released by all persons responsible may be involved.
    6: The factory calendar has not been maintained correctly.
    Procedure
    Error source 1:
    Check whether the vendor and plant shown in the PO actually exist in the system.
    Error source 2:
    Check the Customizing facility for message determination with respect to delivery schedules created under scheduling agreements (print operation '9').
    Error source 3:
    In Customizing, maintain the document types accordingly ( Define document types for scheduling agreement). Then create a new scheduling agreement with a document type for which release documentation is defined.
    Error source 4:
    Maintain the JIT delivery schedule indicator in the material master record.
    Error source 5:
    Have the scheduling agreement released by the person(s) responsible.
    Error source 6:
    If you are using a release creation profile without aggregation, you must maintain the factory calendar for the next 999 days
    Regards,
    Santosh

    Hello Mallinath,
    I referred the note and following are the observarion in the system.
    Step1:Run T-code SE16 (table T001W) to check the calendar ID of the plant.
    -----Referred the Calendor ID
    Step2: Check the JIT/Forecast delivery schedule of release creation profile in customizing. (T-code OLME -> Scheduling Agreement -> Maint. Rel. Creation Profile for Sched. Agmt. w. Rel. Docu.)
    Run T-code SCAL to adjust the period of the calendar ID which checked in STEP 1 according to the JIT/Forecast delivery schedule of the release creation profile which checked in STEP 2.
    (For example, if the JIT/Forecast delivery schedule of the release creation profile is "999" days, then the calendar should be extended for the next 999 days at least)
    ---------In this case factory calendor is valid till 2015 and according to note needs to change the factory calendor till 2018( or for 999 days) ?
    Waiting for your inputs.
    Thanking you,
    Santosh

  • Depreciation Posted in Asset Module but not in GL

    Hi,
    In one of the assets, falling under the 'Assets Under Construction' by mistake the users defined the depreciation key. Accordingly there was an error while running the depreciation. However, after amending the assets master and removing the depreciation key, the depreciation was again conducted. But this time, the depreciation for the month appears to get posted in the Asset Module, without there being any entry in GL Account. When we look at the asset balances report with posted depreciation, we find the depreciation in this asset. Since there is no Accum Dep account for the AUC, the system is not allowing to carry out the Book Depreciation.
    The question is how can we remove the depreciation from the asset module only, without affecting the GAL?
    Thanks in advance for the assistance.

    Hi Rajjul,
    you mix up things. First of all the changes will not have any effect as long as your RESTART run has not been executed successful. The RESTART will only pick up the postings (on FI-AA side) which have been created in the original run. If there have been values to be posted for an asset, it must be posted.
    Therefor you have to change configuration now, store accounts for the Auc class and post the depreciation. First when this run finished successful, and you execute a REPEAT run, the system will catch up depreciation back to zero.
    A RESTART run will never calculate the depreciation value to be posted new, it always takes to amount calculated to be posted from its original run.

  • Reverse Depreciation in Asset Module

    Dear Freinds,
    Pl advise how to reverse Depreciation posted in Asset Module in SAP ?
    We have run Unplanned Dep in period 7 , but FI period was closed , sys gave an error message that " period is not open " . Now if we want to run in period 8 , system is asking to restart for period 8. <u><b>There has been no FI entry posted in the sys.</b></u>
    What we want is to reverse the dep posting of period 1 to 7  in Asset Module  , so that we can run Unplanned depreciation from 1 to 8 periods in period 8. <b>HOW TO DO THIS ?</b>
    Thnks
    Vinod

    Why would you want to reverse all of the depreciation that was posted?  Since asset accounting is a subledger of the G/L that would have an impact on the closed periods in FI/GL.
    There is no functionality within standard SAP to reverse depreciation once it is posted.  That way, SAP mantains the integrity of the postings in FI and keeps the subledger and ledger in sync.
    If you feel that you have a real business need to do this, log in an OSS message.  SAP may have some tools that will help you with this.

  • Accounting Entries in Project Asset Capitalization Process

    Hello Dina,
    Can you explain the accounting entries for capital projects for the scenario mentioned in the below points ?
    1. A a project related supplier invoice is created for a capital project. It is validated, accounted and entries are transferred to GL. These are the entries:
    Dr - Asset Clearing Account
    Cr - Supplier Liability Account
    2. Now, the transaction is interfaced to projects. The cost distribution line for the transaction only shows the Debit entry here (standard functionality)
    Asset Clearing Account - Dr
    Cr - Blank.
    Since there are no adjustments to be made nor any more costs to incur, the project is capitalized.
    3. Once asset lines are generated and then interfaced to Oracle Assets, the same clearing account (i.e. Asset Clearing Account of step 1) can be seen in Mass Additions screen in 'Clearing Account' Field. WHERE IS THIS USED ???
    4. When the additions are set to POST, the system asks to enter 'Expense Account' and defaults the 'Bonus Expense' account from the setup for the asset category. WHERE IS THIS USED ???
    5. Finally in the output of the Post Mass Additions request, there is a column 'Asset Account' which shows the value of the 'Asset Cost' account from the setup for the asset category. WHAT IS THIS FOR ???
    Request you to throw some light on this.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • FA Account Generator: Non Qualified Segment

    Hi,
    Currently we have a requirement of customizing the account generator to accommodate the following requirement.
    COA structure: Company-Branch-CostCenter-NaturalAccount-Product-Future1
    The account generator should generate the Account based on the Branch and the CostCenter that owns the asset.
    I understand that we can get Cost Center segment value in FA account generator.(by using the Cost center qualifier)
    Currently i need to derive the non qualifier segment BRANCH also.
    Can someone throw some light on this, like how can this be acheived?

    Accounting Segments that are not qualifiers will have to be derived programmatically.
