Change PO distribution charge account

hello,
I need to change a distribution charge account for an IN Process PO; from the default account of the Master Inventory organaization.
If I have to do it from the backend, do I need to update another table besides po_distributions_all, and do I need to change any other column besides CODE_COMBINATION_ID.
Please advise me as I need to do this on the Production.
Thank you...

This may not be an answer to your question, but I think you should look for other options to achieve business functionality before doing a back end update:
1) If the PO is in process, you can either have the PO be approved by business user and then as the Purchasing manager/buyer to change the distribution account from front end.
2) If it is very critical to update it, then I would suggest you use standard script provided by Oracle to update the status to incomplete, so that Business can change the PO from front end and resubmit the PO for approval.(search on metalink for 'update in process PO' or 'update stuck PO'. I will try to find the exact metalink note and update soon).
Hope this helps.

Updating PO distribution charge account

Hi,
I have a requirement to update the PO charge account through PDOI or API. Is it possible?
Client do not want to update PO Account Generator. they want it through Interface.
Appreciate your responses.
Thanks,
Vara

Nagamohan,
PO is for CE's.PO dept do not want to wait till CE gets approved by finanace dept. So they'll code to default account.and pay it in AP(this is AP policy). Once CE is approved they want to reflect the actual account in Oracle. They use external system for POs. which is a not a enterprise system like Oracle. that is the problem. and our instance is multi SOB,Org and we do not want to customize any standard Oracle workflows.
seems we can not update GL charge account on the PO with any API/ or Interface.
Thanks for your time.

PO: Error while entering Charge account in Distributions line

Hi All,
We are getting below error while creating Requisition,
+++++++++++++++++++
APP-PO-14082: A PO Charge Account is mandatory and could not be determined.
Review your account generator setup.
+++++++++++++++++++
We are getting this error after I click in Distributions line and Charge Account Field.
Please suggest where in the setup we should check for Account Generator Setup.
Thanks

Hi,
I think no need to change any thing in Account Generator, in ideal case if you setup for INV,PO and AP is complete then it picks the PO Charge Account by default. for more detail please email at [email protected]

In iProcurement requisition charge account is changing based on the category.
Could you please let us know is there any setup missing

You may consider using Expense Charge Account Rules available in Purchasing.
The detail is available in User's Guide under "Expense Charge Account Rules", or
you can also reference note How to Set Up and Use Category-based Account Default in Purchasing (Doc ID 293046.1)
Hope this helps.

Need to populate PO Charge Account in PO Distributions Form

Hi
I am converting legacy PO's into Oracle 11.5.10.
I need to populate PO Charge Account in PO Distributions Form in Purchase Order for every shipment which is on legacy PO line, which column in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_INTERFACE table should be populated.
I could see 6 Segments setup (company,cost center,account,product,initiative,future) in Oracle from the distribution form.
I am assuming that i need to populate below columns in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_INTERFACE table.
CHARGE_ACCOUNT_SEGMENT1
CHARGE_ACCOUNT_SEGMENT2
CHARGE_ACCOUNT_SEGMENT3
CHARGE_ACCOUNT_SEGMENT4
CHARGE_ACCOUNT_SEGMENT5
CHARGE_ACCOUNT_SEGMENT6
Could you let me know if i am right or wrong.
thanks.

Well, you can directly populate the charge_account_id in po_distributions_interface if you know the ccid from gl_code_combinations. In our system, I see that they get charge_account_id from mtl_parameters. It depends how you are receiving these segments and want to default them.
Even if you use different segment values instead of charge_account_id, the interface may generate new combination. You may have to check the documentation.

Charge Account on PO Distribution

Hello
Why do we use charge account on PO distribution. As per my understanding, Charge account will not go to GL and there is no associated credit account.

You should do not do this personalization. The valuation a/c for inventory asset items is determined at the org level and at the subinventory level. By forcing some different value for that a/c, you will be corrupting your data.

Can user change charge account on a PR/PO if the destination type is 'Inventory'?

Hi all,
Can user change the charge account on a PR or PO if the destination type is 'Inventory'? Thanks a lot.
Regards
Leo

Hi Leo,
Creating Expense Items as Inventory Items should not be ideally recommended to the Customer. If you want to establish tracking of material following process does well
a) Create an Expense Sub Inventory with Tracking Enabled for Storage of Expense Items
b) Define all Item Codes for Expense Items
c) Receive these items in the Expense Tracked Sub Inventory
d) Use Misc. Issue / Account Alias issue to map material consumption.
If you follow above steps, you would be able to utilize flexibility of Expense A/C rules for creating a Charge A/C based on Item Category which suits your need.
To answer your question, you can't update the material a/c both in PR and PO for an Inventory Item, as its defaulted from Org Definition.

Can we change the charge account in the PO once it is "approved, reserved "

Dear All,
Can any one clarify me the below doubt.

Note: We are using the 11.5.10.2 version and we have enabled the encumbrance for PO.
Please let me know?

Hi Sanjay,
Here is the OA help (11i) :
Entering Purchase Order Distributions:
6. Enter the purchasing accounts. When you save your changes in this window, Purchasing uses the Account Generator to automatically create the following accounts for each distribution:
Charge: the account to charge for the cost of this item in the purchasing operating unit
Accrual: the AP accrual account in the purchasing operating unit
Variance: the invoice price variance account in the purchasing operating unit
Destination Charge: the account to charge for the cost of this item in the destination operating unit
Destination Variance: the invoice price variance account in the destination operating unit
Note: The last two accounts are created only if the receiving destination operating unit is different than the purchasing operating unit and there is a transaction flow defined between the two organizations.
If you are using encumbrance control, Purchasing also creates the following account for each distribution:
Budget: the encumbrance budget account
The Account Generator creates these accounts based on predefined rules. See: Using the Account Generator in Oracle Purchasing.Hope it helps

- PO Charge Account
- PO Accrual Account

Can anyone tell me where they come from?
Please help.

Thank you for your help.
unfortunately, i have no access to metalink these days.
We had also the following error ; on the attempt to open the assignment form of the item:
APP-OFA-48317: the employee to which this distribution line is assigned is no longer valid.
when the form opens there is no emmploye visible in the assignment line.
and in the table FA_MASSADD_DISTRIBUTIONS an employee_id is there.
So, I chose an employee in the form and saved it, then I cleared the employee from the line and saved again.
Finally the problem is solved.

Charge account chaging when autocreating PO's

Hi All,
EBS:11.5.10.2
We have a web based system for creating requisitions, and these requisitions are auto uploaded into EBS and we have made these requisitions to hit one account, and when users are auto creating Po's from these PR's the charge account in some Po's is changing.
Please help asap.
Thanks in advance.

There are bunch of rules to derive the charge account.
You will definitely need to check the setup in Oracle Purchasing and Inventory.
Things to check:
1.) Inventory Item Master form, check the charge account given against an item.
2.) Default accounts given in Purchasing Options.
Apart from these, it will be really helpful if you go through any documents that talk about Autocreate documents workflow.
Cheers,
Vinod

HT1918 I need to change countries on my account but I can't because I have 98 cents left on my account and there is nothing I can buy for 98 cents. What do I do?

I need to change countries on my account but I can't because I have 98 cents left on my account and there is nothing I can buy for 98 cents. What do I do?

1) Buy something and charge the balance to a credit card.
or
2) Contact Apple and ask them to remove the balance.

Can you change the "System Installation Account" from the Site Server Computer Account to a Service Account after the DP is configured?

When the distribution points were configured, we used the Site Server Computer Account.
Now we would like to change to a service account and remove the site server computer account from the local administrators group (and add the the service account).
Can someone provide some guidance on if this is possible, and what steps should be taken to accomplish?
Thanks

Sure, just modify the properties of the "Site System" role in the console (in the Administration workspace under Site Configuration -> Server and Site System Roles).
Why would you do this though? It's less secure and adds an administrative burden.

Error in default workflow Project Supplier Invoice Charge Account

Hi,
We applied the patch for E-Business Suite extended support requirements in our clone server and we advise users to test the modules. On the AP-PA module, we received an error saying "The default workflow for the Oracle Payables account function Project Supplier Invoice Charge Account has not been customised. Please replace the dummy function in the default process for account generation by your own account generation method."
Our problem is that we do not know what has been customised and what are the setup being done. On the unpatched server, the said module/process is working.
Need your help...
Thanks,
Benjo

Hi,
do you have projects module being implemented? if that exists,the issue happens when the user is trying to enter project related information in the invoice distributions.
Ideally the systems looks in the Project supplier invoice work flow for generating the distribution CCID when the invoice is Project related.
you need to customize the standard Project supplier invoice work flow through work flow builder, by adding your Accounting flex filed segments in it and how they will get picked up ( Like Look up , parameter, constant).
Doing this will resolve the issue.
Thanks
Vijay

IProcurement Requisition Charge account build Extension

Hi,
I am extending the PoRequisitionLineEO for triggering the PO Account Generator-charge account build process whenever the Line DFF attributes changes (Attribute2, Attribute3, Attribute4, Attribute5). I followed these steps:
1)Copy all the BC4J files on to your local machine directory and Extend the Entity Object (PoRequisitionLineEO) that contains these attributes.
2) The Extended EO will introduce business attribute properties (AccountLineBizAttrSet=Y) for these DFF Attributes. This will tell the Oracle iProc engine to regenerate the accounts.
3) Transfer the xxPoRequisitionLineEOImpl.java, xxPoRequisitionLineEOCollImpl.java, xxPoRequisitionLineEODefImpl.java files on to $JAVA_TOP on Apps server and compile the same to produce the .class files.
4) Substitute the standard EO by Extended EO - xxPoRequisitionLineEO --> PoRequisitionLineEO using the JPXImporter
4) Bounce the entire middle tier.
I've tried this several times but the charge account is not changing if the DFF attributes are changed. I am missing something or I am doing anything wrong? please help.
Thank you.
