Employee Expense Report ( US Nacha) in excel output...

Hello,
I developed e-text template which gives .csv output with AP Payment processing ( Format Instruction Payments). I asked the user to save the output with .csv extension and open it again in excel.But user needs the output in excel itself which I couldn't get any solution to do so....
Please share your thoughts on this...
Application version is R12.1.1
Thanks,
Sridhar

Hi Brent,
The solution you mentioned is for output in excel format?, If yes, I can get the output in excel for the other reports...
The problem is for the AP Payments, we don't have the control to mention the output to my knowledge...so I am asking if we could do anything to get the output in excel?
Thanks,
Sridhar

Does any one know what is this???

Converting Standard Oracle Report to XML for excel output

I have gone through the steps of copying a concurrent program for a standard report to a new program, changed the output format to xml, ran the new concurrent job, saved the output as a .xml, then using the xml publisher template builder for word (Oracle Patch 5887917) tried to modify record information so each record will be on the same line in an Excel format. I tried de-normalising the hierarchy using the ../.. syntax to traverse up the hierarchy but only the data at the lowest level displays. Has anyone else run into this issue or have any ideas on how I can fix it.
Here is the xml when I insert a table and convert the table to text just so you can see the hierarchy I'm trying to de-normalise; these are all the fields but not in the order I would want them displayed...
Source
List G Location Id
for-each G_SOURCE SOURCE
G Location Id
for-each LIST_G_LOCATION_ID
List G Exp Receipts
Location Code1
for-each G_LOCATION_ID
G Exp Receipts
for-each LIST_G_EXP_RECEIPTS
Number Release Line
List G Exp Lines
for-each G_EXP_RECEIPTS NUMBER_RELEASE_LINE
G Exp Lines
for-each LIST_G_EXP_LINES
Unit
Product Number
Item Description
Quantity Received
Quantity Billed
Ordered
Due
P Date
List G Exp Shipments
C Flex Item Disp
for-each G_EXP_LINES UNIT
PRODUCT_NUMBER
ITEM_DESCRIPTION
QUANTITY_RECEIVED
QUANTITY_BILLED
ORDERED
DUE
P_DATE
G Exp Shipments
for-each LIST_G_EXP_SHIPMENTS
Invoice Num
Invoice Amount
Invoice Date
for-each G_EXP_SHIPMENTS INVOICE_NUM
INVOICE_AMOUNT
INVOICE_DATE end G_EXP_SHIPMENTS
end LIST_G_EXP_SHIPMENTS
C_FLEX_ITEM_DISP end G_EXP_LINES
end LIST_G_EXP_LINES
end G_EXP_RECEIPTS
end LIST_G_EXP_RECEIPTS
LOCATION_CODE1 end G_LOCATION_ID
end LIST_G_LOCATION_ID
end G_SOURCE
Here is the text from Word before I convert it into a table when I try to de-normalise it...
for-each G_EXP_SHIPMENTS ../../ P_DATE
../../../../../../../../ SOURCE
../../../../ NUMBER_RELEASE_LINE
../C_FLEX_ITEM_DISP
../../PRODUCT_NUMBER
../../ITEM_DESCRIPTION
../../UNIT
../../ORDERED
../../QUANTITY_RECEIVED
../../QUANTITY_BILLED
../../DUE
INVOICE_NUM
INVOICE_DATE
INVOICE_AMOUNT
../../../../../../LOCATION_CODE1 end G_EXP_SHIPMENTS

OK, figured it out... when you double click on the field to add the ../, you actually need to click on Add Help Text and add the ../ here

Employee expenses report

friends,
is there any report which shows the imprest expenses with employee personal numbers. i want to see the report with employee number and amount paid and due etc.,
regards,

Hi,
Myou can try this, make personnel number mandatory for all employee related expnediture GL account in case you have SAP-HR implemented or build a new Zfield using coding block and maintain a Zfield and have a check table to validate the entry in this field and you can get the information through any standard line item listing report.
check this link in case you want to add a new field

Thanks,

Employee Travel & Expense Reporting

I am just starting to do project prep and try to finalize scope. I know there is a module for employee expense reports under HR but HR is not in scope at the first phase.
Does anyone know of any other way to put in some functionality to track, record and interface into A/P for direct deposits to employee account without having the actual T&E subset?
Wayne

Hi,
One of the ways to go about it is to use A/P functionality for this. You may create a separate account group for employees with separate number range as well & separate recon ledger.You can go on creating employee vendors who claim reimbursements. Also you can create separate GLs (e.g. Employee Travel Exp etc.) where you can post all the expenses. Payment of employee claims can be through normal A/P payment prog.
Hope this helps.

Sameer

Chart(graph) is not displaying in my Excel output

Hi All,
I was working with oracle EBZ R12, and bi publisher 10g,
I have developed a RTF with graph, when i moved the RTF and run the report through application (the Excel output is not showing the Graph,but in pdf output the graph is coming fine).
I have gone through this documents
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10091_01/doc/bip.1013/e05000/toc.htm
and the forum question already raised for the same.
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/1018488
But i dont know the exact path of the web.xml file to change as mentioned in the links. Can any one help on this to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Srikkanth.M

Hi,
Its looks like this might be the customization issue please have a look at the OSS Notes 457497 and refer to the questions 2, 3 & 4 may be you can get the idea (Specially 4).
Why are some texts not printed at all?
Answer:
Which texts are printed depends on the Customizing settings of purchasing.
Go to Customizing for purchasing.
Choose "Messages -> Texts for Messages -> Define Texts for <Purchasing Document>". Choose "Print Document <Purchasing Document>". Select "Texts for Document Items" and add a new entry.
You must specify a value for the print sequence in the detailed screen for your new entry.
Let me know in case of any.

How to control Excel Output in Oracle BI Publisher

I have created an XML report in Oracle E-Business Suite. It displays the output in Excel. The problem is when I generate it's output in PDF it is perfectly fine but when I see the output in Excel, the layout automatically aligns it to the leftmost corner. This behavior is same with all the Excel reports.
My question is: Is it the default behavior of Excel outputs or Can I control the layout so that it is displayed in the middle not the leftmost corner?
Can I center align the layout by default? If so , how?

XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

Hello,
I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Do anyone have a solution for this
Thanks in advance

Hi Vetsrini,
We're on 10.1.3.4.1 and siebel 8.1.1.3 and when trying to open a report from within siebel in the output format EXCEL (selected from the parameter applet), it just opens the document in the browser.
Is there a way to get it to open directly in Excel? I guess the reason is the file extension*.EXCEL, how could we get the extension to be in excel format (xls)?
We don't want our users to have to do this themself.
