Automating AR cash application

Hi,
Currently all of our AR is handled manually and we are planning to automate AR cash application.We are in a situation where some of our customers send their payments referencing an invoice number and a large portion of our customers do not have an invoice number while sending their payments to the bank.Can we use lockbox functionality in SAP to auto apply the payments when we do not have an invoice number from the customer?Can we basically match on customer number and amount while applying the payments automatically?

does anybody have an answer for the query above. I think it can be cleared through a matching criteria with customer having open-items. we can set the matching criteria in ob74. What i have a question is about how to configure auto-cash clearing and is there a different parameter to clear it in f.13. Thanks.

Segregation of Cash application and application of on account AR payments

Hi Friends,
We have a requirement to segregate cash application to customer accounts and application of on account payments from customer account. The requirement is coming from Internal audit. They want a process where a group of users can apply payments to the customers , they can apply payment directly to invloice if they know it. But if they don't know the same, they can post on account to the customer. Another group of users (collectors) can call up customer and find for which invoice, the payment needs to be applied and can clear on account payment to an invoice. In FI module, application of payment to customer can be done by using TR code F-28 and account clearing can be done using Tr code F-04/F-32. These two functions can be segregated by restricting access of F-28 to only cash application group. But if the collector wants, he/she can post to cash account using Tr code F-32/F-04 also. SAP does allow to enter any GL Account in clearing Tr codes also so it does not seem possible to segregate these two functions just by restricting access to Tr code F-28. Restricting access of collectors to all GL Accounts may not work as they may have to post exchange rate gain/loss which are GL Accounts. Has anyone dealt with such situation and how was it solved? Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks and regards,
Pinky

Accounts receivables - Cross company cash application - Need help

Hello,
They are applying cash to an invoice to a diff company- code . For e.g if there is an invocie in comp A ( cust debit and Rev : credit ) but the cash account is of company B.
These are the documents which it creates
Original Invoice :
COMPANY A,
Customer   debit :                  100 dollars
Revenue account credit :         100 dollars.
After CASH application:
cross - company document created : 100000
company A, customer credit :    100 dollars
                   inter company   :     100 dollars
company B cash account debit :           100 dollars
                   inter - comp account credit :   100 dollars.
The thing is when I pull up the customer from company A , it still shows in open items list , but the fact is it is cleared in a diff company.
What do I need to do to remove it from the open item list, or what is the correct procedure .
Please let me know how to resolve this as it is affecting a custom Aging report.
Thanks in advance.

i am testing this , can u pls tell me how do i clear an invoice from a diff company code cash account.

Automatic SAP Cash Application- for ACH incoming payments

Dear experts,
We have requirement to automatically apply cash for the ACH incoming customer payments. We have been using LOCKBOX for automatic cash application for Check incoming payments. Now we want to implement automatic cash application for incoming ACH payments as well. What are available best options? Can we do this through EBS?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tina

Hi Tina
I suggest to use a different GL code for incoming ACH payments and set this up using BAI codes from your banks EBS file. I believe you are not running EBS statement upload or manual load currently. Identify all the bank transactions and their related BAI codes with the help from your bank.
Thanks

Cross - company cash application for Accounts recievables

Kindly let me know how to conduct an cross company cash application. Which transaction will best accomplish this .
I have set - up the cross - company clearing account between the 2 companies.
Thanks in advance.

If I am not wrong, your company code A receives payment from customer and you want to clear the customer open item in company code B. If you have done the cross-company code clearing between these two company codes using T Code OBYA, then all you have to do is make the following posting in company code A.
Dr. Cash/Bank $100 (in company code A)
Cr. Customer $100 (in company code B)
System will automatically generate the following postings.
Dr. Cash/Bank $100 (in CoCd A)
Cr. Clearing with CoCd B $100 (in CoCd A)
Dr. Clearing with CoCd A $ 100 (in CoCd B)
Cr. Customer $100 (in CoCd B)
Clearing accounts are what you specify in OBYA.
Assign pts. if this answers your question!

How to install Oracle Policy Automation in Oracle Application Server?

We are planning to use OPA with Oracle Ebusiness Suite Release 12.1. We are running Oracle Application Server 11g. We want to deploy the Oracle Policy Automation components in same application server as Oracle Ebusiness Suite.
(a) How to install Oracle Determinations Engine, Oracle Web Determinations and Oracle Determinations Server on Oracle Application Server? The installation document for OPA doesnt have steps for Oracle Application Server.
(b) Which one is better, to deploy OPA in separate server or in same server as Oracle Ebusiness Suite?
(c) How to decide whether to use Java API's using Determination Engine or web services using Determination Server or UI of Web Determinations for our project? Or what factors should we consider?
Thanks for the help.
-- Sreeram.H

(a) You should install the war files for Oracle Determination Server and Oracle Web Determinations as per normal war deployment - there's no special steps required, which is why it is not listed explicitly. There's no reason to deploy Oracle Determinations Engine itself to a web application server.
(b) "Better" tends to be more a subjective viewpoint, but if you already deploy all your web services on the same server as Oracle E-Business Suite then you should go the same for OPA. Same story for separate server deployment.
(c) Can't answer that without knowing why you are using OPA! If you are looking to integrate with Oracle E-Business Suite then Oracle Determinations Server would be the sensible choice. Web Determinations is most useful if you want a sensible way to collect or review the relevant assessment data for determinations, as well as for "self service" scenarios. Determinations Engine should be used if you have a completely bespoke integration scenario that can't make use of web services or web applications - but I can't think of a scenario where this would make sense if you are using Oracle E-Business Suite.
Of course, these are just my views - others may feel more strongly one way or the other!

Launch Remote Automator Workflow or Application via Apple Remote Events

Hi All,
I read in a MacScripter post that a remote application must already be running to send it Apple Remote Events.
http://bbs.applescript.net/viewtopic.php?id=3727
However I have found that since the Finder is always running you can tell Finder to open the application. I wanted to launch an Automator App on my web server to run a perl script to update an index database.
Open this Scriplet in your Editor:
tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://Username:Password@IP_Address"
open file "Server HD:Applications:iTunes"
end tell
When I run this iTunes launches on the other machine. I use it like.
Open this Scriplet in your Editor:
tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://Username:Password@IP_Address"
open file "Server HD:Users:admin:Documents:Rebuild IF Index-Quick"
end tell
The last item "Rebuild IF Index-Quick" is the name of my Automator App.
Be sure Remote Apple Events is on for the remote computer. Also you can do this over the web as opposed to being on the same LAN as the remote computer by using you WAN IP and adding :3031 to the IP Address to direct it to port 3031, be sure to open/direct this port number in your router or firewall to the proper machine.
Cheers,

Okay, it took the tabs out of my message (also probably my fault).
So ignore things in {} brackets...they indicate the missing spaces.
tell application "System Events"
{TAB} if ((get name of the processes) contains "iTunes") then
{TAB}{TAB} tell application "TuneBar"
{TAB}{TAB}{TAB} activate
{TAB}{TAB} end tell
{TAB} end if
end tell
Right now, someone is probably making fun of me.
Oh, the shame. There it is.

Have you tried to call ojdeploy directly instead of using the ojdeploy task?
I remember that the ant task has had some bugs. You can use the exec task and execute ojdeploy directly. Then you don't even need to include the path elements as you use the jdev project which includes all the information.
ojdeploy.executable=path_to_your_jdev_installation/jdev/bin/ojdeploy.exe
