Descriptive Flexfield transfer from Requisition (iProcurement) to PO

Can a descriptive flexfield be transferred from iProcurement (requisition lines) to Purchase Order (lines)?
I am fairly new to Oracle EBS and this is my first attempt to set up descriptive flexfields. We want the user to populate the field while creating the requisition and would like that value to transfer to the purchase order. (we are on 11i)
Is this possible? Is there an option or setting that I need to be aware of?
Thank you!

I don't think that is possible.
Oracle has the functionality to transfer Req. Distribution DFF to PO Distribution DFF. But it does not work for Req Header or Req Line DFF.
Hope this helps,

Data Transfer from Sales Order to Purchase Requisition

We are trying to transfer data from Sales Order to purchase requisition in an individual purchase scenario.
We want to copy value in KUWEV-KUNNR in Sales Order and paste in CMMDA-KUNNR on purchase requisiton.
So in user-exit "USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_ME_REQ" on include "MV45AFZB" we added the following code:
FORM USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_ME_REQ.
DATA:   BEGIN OF IT_VBEP OCCURS 0,
        VBELN LIKE VBEP-VBELN,
        BANFN LIKE VBEP-BANFN,
        KUNWE LIKE VEPVG-KUNWE,
        END OF IT_VBEP.
DATA: BEGIN OF TI_VBAK OCCURS 0.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE IT_VBEP.
DATA: END OF TI_VBAK.
    SELECT A~VBELN   B~KUNWE
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE IT_VBEP
    FROM VBAK AS A INNER JOIN VEPVG AS B
                          ON B~VBELN = A~VBELN
    WHERE A~AUART EQ 'PDIR'.
   LOOP AT EBKN.
       LOOP AT IT_VBEP.
            IF IT_VBEP-VBELN = EBKN-VBELN.
              IT_VBEP-BANFN = EBKN-BANFN.
            ENDIF.
            MODIFY IT_VBEP.
       ENDLOOP.
   ENDLOOP.
*Break-point.
SORT IT_VBEP BY vbeln.
LOOP AT IT_VBEP.
IF EBAN-BANFN = IT_VBEP-BANFN.
    EBAN-KUNNR = IT_VBEP-kunwe.
    MODIFY EBAN.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
* Example
* EBAN-LIFNR = zzfield1.
* EBKN-KOSTL = zzfield2.
ENDFORM.
*eject
Right now it turns random values on the purchase requisition field.

Hi,
Why are you using only the following line to read the VBEP table?
WHERE A~AUART EQ 'PDIR'.
Shouldn't you be using a sales document number or something more specific than document type?

Creation of Descriptive FlexField on Supplier

Hello,
I am trying to add a new segment under context "Global Data Elements" of a DFF.
Currently this context has two segments referring to columns ATTRIBUTE1 adn ATTRIBUTE2
In the Segments Summary screen, when I try to select the Descriptive Flexfield column of which I believe it is available (ATTRIBUTE3), I can only select the column "ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY".
EBS R12
application = Purchasing
title = vendors
table = PO_VENDORS
Does anyone has any hints? What am I doing / thinking wrong?
Thanks

Attributes might have been used in another DFF. Run the below query to check if other columns are used in another DFF.
SELECT application_column_name,end_user_column_name,
ffv.flex_value_set_name,flex_usage.*
FROM fnd_descr_flex_col_usage_vl flex_usage,
fnd_descriptive_flexs_vl flex,
fnd_flex_value_sets ffv
WHERE flex.descriptive_flexfield_name = flex_usage.descriptive_flexfield_name
AND flex.application_table_name like 'PO_VENDORS%'
AND flex_usage.flex_value_set_id = ffv.flex_value_set_id(+)
Thanks

Program to add in the Assignment views Descriptive flexfields segments

Hi,
I have added two context fields values in the descriptive flexfield "Additional Assignment Details". I see that the view hrfg_employee_assignments has reflected those changes and has included 4 attribute columns:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW HRFG_EMPLOYEE_ASSIGNMENTS
(BUSINESS_GROUP_NAME, PERSON_NAME, PREFIX, SUFFIX, FIRST_NAME,
LAST_NAME, PREFERRED_NAME, MIDDLE_NAMES, TITLE, COLLECTIVE_AGREEMENT_NAME,
ASSIGNMENT_NUMBER, NORMAL_START_TIME, NORMAL_END_TIME, PRIMARY_FLAG, INTERNAL_ADDRESS,
MANAGER_FLAG, EMPLOYMENT_CATEGORY, ASSIGNMENT_TYPE_CODE, ASSIGNMENT_TYPE, WORKING_HOURS_AMOUNT,
WORKING_HOURS_FREQUENCY, EMPLOYEE_NUMBER, HIRE_DATE, ORIGINAL_DATE_OF_HIRE, WORK_TELEPHONE_NUMBER,
SUPERVISOR_NAME, SUPERVISOR_NUMBER, SALARY_BASIS, ORGANIZATION_NAME, POSITION_NAME,
JOB_NAME, LOCATION_NAME, GRADE_NAME, PEOPLE_GROUP, PAYROLL_NAME,
RECRUITMENT_ACTIVITY_NAME, VACANCY_NAME, USER_ASSIGNMENT_STATUS, PER_SYSTEM_ASSIGNMENT_STATUS, PAY_SYSTEM_ASSIGNMENT_STATUS,

PERSON_ID, POSITION_ID, RECRUITMENT_ACTIVITY_ID, SALARY_BASIS_ID, SUPERVISOR_ID,
VACANCY_ID, COLLECTIVE_AGREEMENT_ID)
AS
SELECT .....
I see that it has added comments in these view columns :
DESC CONTEXT,800,PER_ASSIGNMENTS,A
DESC SEGMENT,800,PER_ASSIGNMENTS,A,ASS_ATTRIBUTE1
DESC SEGMENT,800,PER_ASSIGNMENTS,A,ASS_ATTRIBUTE2
and so on.
Now I disable those value codes in the descriptive flexfield from System Administrator and add two new context values.
Which program should I run to reflect these changes in HRFG_EMPLOYEE_ASSIGNMENTS view?
Thank you.

Unfortunately Microsoft decided to make things complicated in 2010. Resource.Assignment.Text1 is not the same as Task.Assignment.Text1.
As far as I know, VBA is the only solution. I would run the code in the before_save event.

Stock transfer purchase requisition through project builder

Hi Friend's,
For transfering material from one plant to another plant we have to create stock transfer purchase requisition through project builder.
Can is it possible to create stock transfer purchase requisition through project builder which will have account assignment category as Q & item category U.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sam,
Thanx for your input.
We are dealing with project specific stocks & customer project scenario.
My requirement is that we having 2 plants. Projects are created in 1001 plant, same plant does the mfg. of FG items required for projects & 1002 plant manufactures MTS items which are required to mfg. project FG items as well as same items will bring into 1001 plant and then delivered to customer.
Here my clients want to create stock transfer pr through project builder to bring MTS items from 1002 plant to 1001 plant & then delivered to customer.
I think as you said this is not possible in std. sap to create stock transfer pr through project builder.
Thanx & Regards,
Sandeep

Updating PO Lines Descriptive Flexfield

We're currently still on R11.5.10.2 and we're customizing the Purchase Orders form by adding an option under the Tools menu to mass update several different fields. One of the fields happens to be a descriptive flexfield on the PO line. We're able to update the DFF, but the actual updated value doesn't seem to be reflected/displayed after we perform the update. If we cursor and tab to the DFF and open it up, it actually has the updated value, but when we close the DFF field, it still displays the old value. We've tried different calls to see if we can refresh the displaying of DFF, but no luck. How can we customize to accomplish this in the form?

It's a straight update to the base table from the PO form. We're just assigning the values to the DFF (in this case, ATTRIBUTE1) and let the form update the record. When we assign the value to the ATTRIBUTE1 field, we cannot see this change right away. If we tab to the DFF, the latest value is there. And when we tab out of it, the latest value is not being reflected. In other words, the DFF is not displaying the latest value. It is only after you save the data that it displays the updated value. I was hoping that there may be some API related call to DFF that we can make to display the change right away before the data is saved, but I'm not able to get this to work within the form.

Journal Import - Import Descriptive Flexfield = Yes

Hi Gurus,
If i run the Journal Import - Program with Import Descriptive Flexfield parameter = 'Yes'.
Will it allow if a descriptive flex field is null.
I do not want to import the Journals if the Attribute1 is NULL. Kindly help me with the best way of doing this..
Thanks,
Genoo

I wont be able to comment on it with certainity.
You can perform a trial and error run by doing the following:
1st case: i would recommend you to run the Jounral Import by setting the Descriptive Flexfield Import as Yes and with validations and without making the changes in the code.
2nd case: i would recommend you to run the Jounral Import by setting the Descriptive Flexfield Import as Yes and with validations and by making the changes in the code.
Compare the results of the two scenario above and make changes accordingly if required, However prior to making the changes please consult it with a technical resource to get his thoughts on the same.
Also you can evaluate what validations are provided by Oracle while importing the DFF since may be that you dont have to anything else apart from your side and Oracle standard code can take care of the same.
Hope this helps
Thanks and Regards
Manish Jain.

Descriptive flexfield for different purchase order types

Hi,
Can i have a descriptive flexfield for different purchase order types?
Scenario : I have two purchase order types
1. Blanket : done from req--> auto create --> standard PO
2. Standard --> Direct PO
Regards
846691

You can use darpan77's suggestion for context sensitive DFF. See http://oracle.anilpassi.com/context-sensitive-descriptive-flexfields.html for an example.
However, both options you mentioned talk about standard po. Is the difference in how they are generated? (One is manual and the other is autocreated?)

Material PR transfer from ECC to SRM without Account Assignment

Hello,
When a material PR without account assignment is transferred to SRM. The scenario is determined as direct procurement and system will behave in extended classic scenario.
I would need the PO to be posted in backend ie Classic scenario.
We are in SRM 7.0 using SOA PR transfer from ECC EHP 4 system.
I believe there is consulting note available for this scenario. If any body has the note number please share it.
Thanks,
Rohith

Symptom
While running Materials Replenishment Planning (MRP) purchase requisitions (PR) will be created in SAP ERP (e.g. after creating a Planned Order in MD10).
Before SAP SRM 7.0 these requisition got the field EPROFILE assigned which enabled the system to extract the PR document to SAP SRM by using report BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER. As of SAP SRM 7.0 and SAP ERP 6.04 you configured Business Add-In ME_REQ_SOURCING_CUST to trigger SOA message PurchaseRequestERPSourcingRequest_Out.
After running MRP you notice that no sourcing request SOA message got generated.
Other terms
SOA, MRP, Sourcing, external sourcing,
BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER, EPROFILE
MD10, MD14, MD04
Reason and Prerequisites
Program error.
Solution
Due to complexity it is not possible to provide a SAP core correction. However PP-MRP application provides a BAdI interface that gives the possiblity to trigger this functionality of external sourcing.
If you need to use the external sourcing with SAP MRP create a new implementation for BAdI MD_PURREQ_POST and inherite from the class provided in attached correction instruction.
Note 1546980 - MRP PReq: PurchaseRequestERPSouricingRequest_Out not send
1263876 - SAP SRM: Configuration of Procure-to-Pay Scenario
Note 1504247 - ME54/ME55 does not trigger sourcing SOA message

Descriptive flexfield setup

Hi, need help and advise.
I have created a descriptive flexfield for attribute17 column of hz_cust_site_uses_all table with value set 'Yes/No' (LOV type) for validation.
My problem is how to make the descriptive flexfield to reflect the existing value store in this column as default value as the existing records
store with 'Y' or 'N' in the table.
Regards,
BE.

Hi, thanks for respond.
the value is updated correctly with 'Y' for attribute17 in the table for selected customers via API as the status return from API was 'S' - Success.
Actually the value set assigned to flexfield is using the 'Yes' and 'No' from the fnd_lookups table and defaulted to 'No' for this flexfield.
So, even I have updated with 'Y' in the table but the flexfield is still reflecting the default value 'No' at the form level.
When setup for the flexfield, the 'Synchronize with Reference Field' is enabled and context code is 'BILL_TO' and 'Global Data Elements'.
With the same table, I have no problem for attribute12 with the context code 'Global Data Elements'
but I am having problem for attribute17 with the context code 'BILL_TO'.
Regards,
BE.

Thanks Sandeep,
Can you tell me what values does this context field hold? Someone have defined it in the location you specified but whats the value which it holds? For example In the DFF "Add'l Periods of Service Information" the Reference Field was defined as "C_LEGISLATION_CODE". Whats it doing exactly over here?
Thanks

FNDLOAD for Descriptive Flexfield update

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to consult you on a matter,
I've updated a descriptive flexfield definition (moved some of the segments from GLOBAL to a new context I created = I deleted from global, that freed the attributes again, and then I defined them under a new context field for that DFF).
Now - to move that setup to another instance, I download and uploaded DFF via FNDLOAD.
At first - update was not successful due to the fact that attributes used in new context were occupied by global.
So -
my idea was to just delete ALL DFF definitions in new instance, and then use FNDLOAD to upload.
Turned out ok, and update seems successful.
I just fear deleting DFF definitions completely might harm something and I feel I might be missing something here.
(After all, if it should be OK, why doesn't FNDLOAD delete old definition during update process and then create the new definition , like it does with personalizations??)
Would love to hear your ideas before I do the same on production instances...
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,
I believe you should not delete a DFF, instead you will have to disable it.
Note: 176867.1 - Oracle Applications Flexfields Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) -- 5. Can I delete a descriptive flexfield?
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=176867.1
Did you try to use UPLOAD_MODE=REPLACE? This option will replace your current values with the values you have in the file.
If you want to upload any new items in the file that do not currently exist in your database, use "CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE" option.
Regards,
Hussein

Descriptive flexfield balance needed

Hello
We are using R12 Apps
my problem is as follows:
Suppose there are 3 segments in a descriptive flexfield(DFF) and all contain numbers in it or you can say display certain amounts
Now in the fourth segment that i create in the same DFF, i need to display the total sum for the amounts in the first three DFF`s..is that possible
Pleasee let me know
Thanks
Muhammed

I don't think that is possible.
Oracle has the functionality to transfer Req. Distribution DFF to PO Distribution DFF. But it does not work for Req Header or Req Line DFF.
Hope this helps,
