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.

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.

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]

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.
Regards,
Vara

FA and PO Charge Account?

Dear all,
I have 2 questions on FA and PO and we are using R12.
For FA, we have 2 asset books (USD and CNY). Any solution or control for FA addition into different company not ledger book.
e.g.) FA of USD was wrongly manual process addition into CNY. User doesn't aware until create accounting.
For PO, when I create a standard purchasing order, the following accounts are retreiving from the setup.
- PO Charge Account
- PO Accrual Account
- PO Budget Account
- PO Variance 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.

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

Is it Mandatory to include the PO charge account under Budget Organizations

Hi,
I have an doubt in PO' charge account:
The Charge account what we are using in the PO distributions Is this account combination is mandatory to include under the Budget Organization....
Regards,
Kevin.

Hi Srikanth,
Thanks for your reply..
Please find my doubt and let me know your views on the same.
Suppose if the charge account what we use in the PO is not assigned to the Budget Organization in GL responsibility, but still we can reserve the amount for this charge account. Here the conclusion is " If the charge Account is not assigned to the Budget Organization which means does the system will automatically consider the Funds Check Level as 'None' for this charge account" is it right or correct me if i am wrong? plz let me know.
Regards,
Kevin.

What is the difference between PO Charge Account and PO Accrue Account ?

Hi
On Requistion's Distribution screen , there is a A/c codes exists : PO Charge , Accrue, Budget & Variance .
Can anyone explain me the exact purpose of the same and what is the difference between PO Charge Account and PO Accrue Account ?
regards
Thanks
SD

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

Charge Account is invalid in checkout and Submission of iProc 11i 11.5.10.2

Are either of you aware of any ongoing issues with iProc that would cause me the trouble detailed below.In summary, I am attempting to enter a Req against an approved project ID. I have a quote from the vendor as the materials are not in our catalogs. I entered them into Oracle using non-catalog.
Error: Row 1 Charge Account - Charge account is invalid. (Program error has occurred while looking up a flexfield segment combination. Please inform your support representative that: The FND_FLEX_SERVER validation function has encountered a null or negative combination ID () while trying to look up the segments values for this combination.

Hussein,
After further research, I came across following Metalink Notes on Java concurrent program.
ID 305710.1 - A Sample Java Concurrent Program
ID 827563.1 - How to create a Java Concurrent Program.Now here is my confusion:
The note: 827563.1 is using Package package oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request;The note: 305710.1 is using Package package oracle.apps.msc.util;I would think that all Java Conc programs that run out of EBS must be as per template.java, but the sample is using a different package then template. So, which package should I be using in my java development?
In addition, where do I put class file and .java file on $APPL_TOP any idea?
Thank you in advance for taking time to read this message. I really appreciate your effort.
Thanks,

Need to restrict KFF values on Charge Account Screen in Oracle Apps 11i

Hi,
I have a requirement to restrict KFF values based on certain criteria in the charge account screen in Oracle Apps 11i..

Can you please mark my answers correct......if they were helpful to you.....
That would be so nice of you....:-)
and regarding your next requirement, You should create a new table which will contain Date, Worker Number and any other details that you want.
In the form, for every date for which you want to enter the data, you will select the max(date) before the current date and maximum worker number for that selected date and then from that number you can select next 15/20 workers or whatever your number is.
e.g. for the first time if you want to enter data for 01-jul-2010 and you have work for 15 workers, you will select max(date) where date<01-jul-2010, but you will not find any bcoz this is your first entry. So wat you will do is will start popupating your grid from number 1-15.
Next day you will select max(date) where date<02-jul-2010, you will find 01-jul-2010. Then you will select max(number) for 01-jul-2010, you will find 15. So populate your grid from number 16-30 (whatever your number is). and so on.
Hope it helps you...
Please mark my answer Helpful or correct and Please create a new thread for new question

How does Requsition Charge account for Project Deliverables get populated?

Hi All,
I am creating deliverables from project management . However the charge account in the req wen this deliverable is imported to Puirchasing is incorrectly populated.
How does this accounting take place. I have a customized Requisition Account generator however, this workflow is not invoked when trying to intiate Procurement or after running the requistion import process in purchasing module.
The charge account seems to default from Organization Parameters in Inventory (This is mandatory account set for Average Costing Orgs).
Please help. .

Hi
I assume your deliverable is an inventory item.
When entering a requisition for inventory item, and the destination is Inventory the system is using the Materials Valuation account of the inventory organization (or the inventory cost group).
If the requisition is for expense destination, then the account will be generated using the Account Generator customized workflow.

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

Expense charge account not defaulting

Hi All,
One of the user getting the following error,
Row 1 Charge Account - Charge account is invalid. (Program error: An error has occurred while looking up a flexfield segment combination. Please inform your support representative that: The FND_FLEX_SERVER validation function has encountered a null or negative combination ID () while trying to look up the segment values for this combination. This may indicate an invalid entry in the unique ID column of the combinations table.).
Issue is user tries to create an Req and adds to his cart,when he tries to checkout he gets this error.But the employee has been setup with the expense account in the HRMS assignment tab and an expense rule set is also been defined for that category which will replace the default account.But none of this happens,when whe views the account details in the line both the account and dept segment is empty which causes the above error.
I really need help as iam not able to find solutions in metalink.
Thanks,
Vijay
