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,

Account Generator for Projects

I need to customize Account Generator for Documents (PO,REQ & Invoice) which are linked to Projects.
So we zeroed in on below Workflows
1. PO Account Generator
2. PO Requisition Account Generator
3. Project Supplier Invoice Account Generation
For 1, PO Account Generator, we found the node under Process "Generate Default Charge Account" where it's checking for Destination Type, & if it's Expense then it's checking if PO is Project Based. Now my question is
Q1.1 --> Can PO be of Inventory or Shop floor & still have Project associated with it. If yes, then how can we do the customization of Charge account for PO's based on Project.
For 2,we found the node "Build Expense Project Charge Account" under Process "Build Expense Charge Account".
Q2.1 --> Is it where we need to Put the customization for Project related requisitions. Again this process is for Destination Type of Expense. So again same question under 1.1 will answer the second part of question for PO Requisition Account Generator
For 3, as of now I am very much confused on this workflow where to put the customization for Project related Invoices.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Much
Sachin

We were able to finally confirm that we are doing the customization on right node.
Now we are stuck as we are being asked that we only need to call standard packages for customization, now if Account is setup as Lookup Set on Oracle Projects, then we have found that by calling PA_ACC_GEN_WF_PKG.PA_SEG_LOOKUP_SET_VALUE we'll be able to derive the value for the segment. But what will happen to Rules & Functions defined in Oracle Projects. How they can play the role for customizing Account Generator.
Any help. Let me know if I can explain in more detail.
Thanks

"Account Generator" you can read budget account from item level

Dear Values Consultant.
I am reading from oracle purchasing user guide that if you deal with "Account Generator" you can read budget account from item level
How I can enable this functionality "account generator to gets a budget account from Item Level)
Or it is already defaulted enable in the application
If it is default enable, how to use this functionality, what the setup required to reach to this point
thanks

It is Oracle standard functionality. Account generator can be customised as per need.
Define your Accounting Flexfield structure for each set of books.
Define flexfield segment values and validation rules.
Set up Oracle Workflow.
Choose whether you want to use the default Account Generator
processes
Then do one of the following for each set of books:
Choose to use the default Account Generator processes.
Customize the default Account Generator processes, test your
customizations, and choose the processes for a flexfield
structure, if necessary.

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?

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.

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.

R12 PO Account Generator

Hi,
Can someone help me understand how the PO Account Generator WF works in R12. I have customized this WF in 11.5.10 for generating the Expense Charge Account.
In R12, it gives me an error "PO Accrual Account should be entered" whenever we enter Project related po.
I did customize the Build Expense Accrual Account process. But I couldn't monitor the WF in WF Administrator responsibility and also it is not getting the correct Accrual Account.
We do have the Default Accrual Account set up in Purchasing Options. It is not either populated from the default one.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
What I would advice you to do (if you did not do this...) is:
- Take the seeded R12 AG WF and see if this creates the charge and accrual account without error
- If this works do the Charge Account changes you want to make in a copy of the seeded R12 WF definition

Marcel

How Does The Account Generator Default The Accounts In Oracle Purchasing

I enter requisition in iprocurement, add a Project/Task. Where does the workflow look for the default accounts?
Thank you

Hi,
To Default the accounts, the Requisition Account Generator workflow - POWFRQAG would be called.
It is normal, that POWFRQAG does not default charge account for project based requisition.
You are required to customize the POWFRQAG workflow.
Details documented in the note:
Error APP-PO-14040 in Po Requisition Account Generator (Doc ID 263850.1)

PO Account Generator Workflow

We are customizing following account generator workflows:
1. PO Requisition Account Generator(POWFRQAG)
2. PO Account Generator(POWFPOAG)
Requirement: When user enters charge account manually for requisition/purchase order, SEGMENT4 value has to be updated based on business rules. Based on new SEGMENT4 value, charge account should be updated accordingly. User will be entering the charge account manually.
Problem: We have included required customization in these workflows. 'CODE_COMBINATION_ID ' attribute(charge account id) is updated with new CCID value. However this value is not getting reflected in the form.
Example: Charge account ID which is entered manually in the form is 14049. As per business rules, new charge account id will be 14052. However this value when passed to the form is not getting updated. When we see workflow attribute values from 'Status Monitor', charge account id is having the value 14052.
So the main question is whenever charge account is entered manually, requisition/purchase order form allows updating charge account through workflow? Generally, if project related information is entered, charge account can be overwritten with workflow. However in our case, we are not having any project related information. Based on charge account which is entered manually, we will be updating SEGMENT4 & then generate a new CCID. Any suggestions or pointers will really help.

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.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by jossle:
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).

Account Generator within AP

Account Generator workflows are available in FA, PA, and PO to derive invoice distribution line account information for AP Invoices created from these feeder systems. We would like to use an Account Generator like workflow to derive the accounting for invoices entered within AP (via either the Invoice Gateway or Workbench forms). Has anyone done something like this? If not, does anyone have ideas on how to do?

Would anyone have example code of how to call the Project Supplier Invoice Account Generator (PAAPINVW) from the AP custom pll?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You may consider using SLA instead of Account Generator.

PO Account Generator.

Hello,
I have customized the PO Account Generator/Requisition Account Generator workflow in 11i. We have the similar requirement in R12,
is there any other way that we could implement the same requirement for building the charge account on PO/Req ?
I have heard about Sub Ledger Accounting Engine, but I am not sure how it can be used to implement the account generation on PO/REQ.
Over View on Requirement:-
Requirement is to generate different segment values for charge account on the basis of Project , Tasks, Expenditure used on the PO/REQ.
If anybody has idea on the same please share the related documents or implementation approach.
Thanks in Advance.
