Etext Cheques on preprinted stationery in R12 - Urgent

Hi,
I am fairly new to BI Publisher and have a requirement to print cheques from the payments process on preprinted stationery, no need for printing invoices etc... just the cheques that come in on pre-printed leaflets using a GEMCOM printer in text format.
I understand that there is no TEXT output from an .rtf and the alternative is eText but how do I get the printer to print several cheques depending on how many there are in a batch using etext???
Has anyone done anything similar before?
Any assistance woud be greatly appreciated.
Thanx.
Ash.

Hi Ash
I went through this nightmare a couple of months ago.
My problem was that I needed to print cheques on pre-printed stationary in a "tractor-feed" character printer - I presume that this is what you need.
It seems that the rest of the world has just closed the door on printing cheques in this common way.
Well, my (and several others') saviour is Kevin Woodrow.
He suggested using an eText XMLP template to generate ASCII TEXT output for cheques.
If you go to Kevin's (seriously good) blog for June - http://kwoodrow.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html there are a number of blogs on eText for cheque printing.
I took those and followed through with the development of a custom function FUNCTION Get_Pmt_Ext_Agg in the APPS package IBY_FD_EXTRACT_PUB.
This is listed in the comments on the blog at - https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7835971960844585750&postID=567652096926567454
It's quite scary that functionality prevalent in EBS R11 and earlier versions of R12 is being summarily removed, so that implementation consultants are forced into jumping through bizarre hoops in order to deliver solutions that were previously quite straight-forward.
Please go through Kevin's blog and my comments thereto - and feel free to ask for more.
Good luck.
Mike

Date format Problem in OAF R12 Urgent Please help!!!

We have acustom application in OAF which was developed in 11i. Now we migrated the same to R12.
In this there are two date fileds getting dispayed on the page and the query for the same is
SELECT TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'dd-mm-yyyy') AS CURRENT_DATE, UPPER (TO_CHAR (SYSDATE - 10, 'mon-yy')) AS g_period, UPPER (TO_CHAR (SYSDATE + 5, 'mon-yy')) AS gnext_period, TO_CHAR (sysdate,'dd-mon-yyyy') as today_date, TO_CHAR (sysdate - 1,'dd-mon-yyyy') as yesterday_date FROM DUAL
In 11i version the output is dispaying correctly but in R12 the current date is dispayed as
Start Date 04-Nov-5242
End Date 04-Nov-5241
As per logic it should be
Start Date 09-Feb-2012
End Date 10-Feb-2012
Please help..Urgent issue.

Here are the answers to your problems :
1. Once u restart , the oracle services and the database is not mounting automatically.That is because, when you install the Oracle Oracle8i Standard Edition Release (8.1.7), the two key services namely
OracleOraHome81TNSListner and
OracleService<your SID name>
are configured as manual start ( check the NT --> start>setting>control panel>services. )
For the database to start automatically the next time you start your machine, these two services will have to be put into "Automatic Start" mode.
< for this double click on the respective service, select the "Automatic" radio button and click on ok>.
Now when you restart the machine, your database will be automatically mounted.
2. this as explained above is a corollory to the above problem. you can start or stop your database on NT using the "Services" window....
hope this helps.
bye.

Supplier creation using APIs in R12 (Urgent)

Hi All,
I will be working on supplier interface in Payables of R12 version.i would like to use the below APIs
1.AP_VENDOR_PUB_PKG.create_Vendor
2.AP_VENDOR_PUB_PKG.Create_Vendor_Site
3.AP_VENDOR_PUB_PKG.Create_Vendor_Contact
for above APIs what are the mandatory fields/columns to use the suppler creation, suppler site creation and contact details creation.
so that i can ask the client to provide the mandatory fields.
when we use APIs to create suppler what are the tables get effected in R12 version.
I have created supplier from front-end, i have given bank related information. when i query AP_SUPPLIERS Table, i have not see the BANK ACCOUNT related information in AP_SUPPLIERS TABLE. where can i see/find the bank related information for suppliers.
please help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks.

Suppliers in R12 are included within the TCA.
Supplier Banks will now be categorized as Parties. You may validate it by checking that the bank information you have loaded into IBY_EXT_BANK_ACCOUNTS would also get loaded into HZ_PARTIES.
Bank address information will be a part of the Party Site.
Bank Site and Location information will have to be loaded into HZ_PATRY_SITES and HZ_LOCATIONS. For that, you will have to use the TCA APIs hz_party_site_v2pub.create_party_site and hz_location_v2pub.create_location

Cheque printing report in Oracle Apps Payables

Hi friends.
I am working on reports development.Initially i worked on R6i,currently i am working on XML Publisher.I have a requirement for cheque printing.Our client deals with many banks and i have to make a separate report for each bank.How is cheque printing usually done?Do we make a separate report for each of the banks?

I have to print cheques on preprinted stationery.
I don't have to print invoices and cheques after that.Straightaway I need to print
cheques only.
How do i print continous cheques?
Should i have one cheque per page?In that case,the paper-size should be almost same as that of the size of envelop.
will the Dot-Matrix printer recognize this for printing the cheques?
please advise me how to proceed?
The other problem,I am facing is ,our client deals with many(10-12) banks.
As the cheque style for each bank differs,I have to make a separate layout for each bank.?
Should I make layouts for all the banks or is there any other approach?

- Login to System Administrator responsibility
- Navigate to Install > Printer > Register
- Define a new printer by entering the Printer Name you have set in the hosts file
- Save
- Bounce the Concurrent Manager

Cheque (Check) Printing Query

My client has a requirement to perform 'step and repeat' functionality when printing cheques.
An audit requirement of any laser cheque solution is the ability to re-print the payee and amount details several times. The printers we have examined (HPLJ 4200 and Troy 8150) allow this to be re-printed up to eight times, and to undertake this printing at different angles (this makes it almost impossible to 'scratch' away the ink and re-print).
Would this functionality be possible when printing cheques directly from SAP or would it require third party software?
Many Thanks
Mark Briggs

Thanks Murali,
But it is a payment method for a company code and not for a house bank. Hence I can give only one form for a given payment method for a company code.
Now if I have more than one bank with preprinted stationery where do I maintain the next form for the specified house bank.

Chck Register

Dear SAP Guru,
My issue is as follows
I Created two Chek Lot ,Say for Ex 1 & 2
1is for Manual Check
2is for Preprinted Stationery.
Now i created one Cheque Manually chno is 100000, i posted the doc in vendor A/c thru F-53,Say for ex My doc no is 2000000057.But i am not updated My Check Register.
After that i posted one payment to another Vendor Doc no is 2000000058, now i printed the Check thru FBZ5, at the time of selection check lot given wrongly instead of 2 i given 1.
Now the system printed the check in the preprinted Stationery, as per stationery my check no is 200000.
after that i run the t.cod FCHU , system updated chno 100000 for doc no 2000000058.
After that i voided the check no 100000 and reassigned the ch no 200000 for the doc.no 2000000058.
Now my check register shows the ch no 100000 is voided & 200000 shows the correct Doc.
Now my problem is i want to delete the information from check Register for check no 100000 and i want to reassign the correct doc for that check.
How to resolve this issue, please put some lights on this
Thanks & Regards
Avudaiappan

If an unused check was incorrectly voided, you must also delete the information stored for this check
as follows:
Choose from the top menu Environment -> Check information -> Delete -> Voided checks.
On the next screen, enter the paying company code and the relevant check number
You could then try to change the check lot number temporarily to reprint the check number.
2. As workaround you could use transactions FCH9 (void issued checks) , FCH8 (Cancel Check
Payment), and/or FCHE (Delete Check Information on Voided Checks).
Also please read the SAP note 32759 which speaks about renumbering of checks.
3. You can only delete check information for unused checks that have been voided manually. This is
necessary when lost checks need to be locked on a temporary basis and then released for use once
they have been found.
4. If the check in question was issued and then voided, you should use the option Reverse voided data
in the function "Reset check information data. (TCode FCHG)

Reports 3.0 Printouts (Text Mode)

1) We have been trying some printouts from the reports runtime by clicking on (Report Builder 3.0.4.6.3/Developer forms 5.0) the printer icon available on the menu bar and also specifying the appropriate print properties in the
print dialogue box and the print out is satisfactory (dot matrix printer
/generic text).Of late we have been trying to HIGHLIGHT some portion of the printed text in BOLD STYLE by using the printer code before/after property
of the respective text items but we have not been successful in getting the
desired output.Hence pl.clear us on the above aspects.Our requirement is
printed text should be in BOLD STYLE for selected fields in the generic text
printer.
2) Our second requirement is we want to try printing pre-Printed cheque leaves(continous stationery) from the reports runtime by clicking on (Report Builder 3.0.4.6.3/Developer forms 5.0) the printer icon available on the menu bar using (dot matrix printer/generic text).

hello,
1) NO ... delimited was not available in reports 3.x
2) good question. not really. the file is a text file and excel
is "too intelligent" to be mislead by only changing the
extension ;-) you might be able to code something in excel
itself.

Preview Page Border

Hello,
I need a little help with my .RTF template to populate page border. This topic is limited but I researched Thread: How to display 'page border' in PDF output file - RTF file contains border - which directs you to another Thread. I was not successful with the Table Border, it does not list the Page Border Art that my end-users currently are using in their Certificate template. I need help to populate this Page Border, has anyone done this before? I do not mind emailing my .RTF template and/or my .xml data also. Thanks for reading this Thead also.

Hi Charles,
Ive come across situations too where complex page borders from MS word refuse to render correctly (or at all). One way to get around this is to use pre-printed stationery, particularly, in a case like yours where perhaps lots of certificates are used,with the same layout. preprinted stationery can be used, it will even cost less, as simple Black and white laser printer can do the rest rather than pay for blue and other colors toner.
I have set the RTF to render the output as desired, I have saved the page border you want as an image, and placed it as a background image, crude workaround, but it works, check out the pdf file i sent you :-)

Check form for diffrent house bank

Dear Experts,
I am having a requirement to generate the check payment with diffrenet house bank. We have developed the check layout and we are having one payment method called "C".
Both the house bank check layouts are diffrent.
Can anyone suggest how to handle this scenario.
Thanks
Aswin

Thanks Murali,
But it is a payment method for a company code and not for a house bank. Hence I can give only one form for a given payment method for a company code.
Now if I have more than one bank with preprinted stationery where do I maintain the next form for the specified house bank.

Creating a payslip using BIP

Hello,
I am using BIP to create payslips on preprinted stationery. If an employee has more than 10 payments OR more than 10 deductions then the payslip will be printed on 2 pages.
A simplified layout is:
1 <emp_name> <emp_number>
<pay_detail_line1> <deduction_detail_line1>
<pay_detail_line10> <deduction_detail_line10>
2 <total_pay> <total_deductions>
3 <annual salary> <net pay>
Lines 1 and 3 will be printed on both pages. Line 2 will be printed on the first page only, but is the sum of all lines (including those displayed on page 2).
I understand how to print only 10 payments or deductions lines per page, but I'm struggling with :
- only displaying the sum on the first page
- displaying lines 1 and 3 on the second page
I'm new to BIP, so would be grateful for any help
Thanks

I have re-worked my template to break at the required limit of rows on the payslip and push to a second page. The continuing issue is how to print 2 columns of employee pay data next to each other on the payslip (2 groups side by side).
Using the common AP check template that appears on many sites with the recursive sub-template works to limit the number of elements for earnings on the first page to 15 (as an example).
The section is the employee check information: employee name, check number, check date, etc.
The 1st group of detail contains the list of earning elements which are limited to 15 displaying in the 1st table column on the pay stub (16+ appear on a second page). The 2nd group of detail lists the deduction elements.
Example:
Earnings_______________________________Deductions
Regular wages_______ 1538.46 ____________FIT Withheld__________________33.15
Commission___________694.00 ____________SS EE Withheld________________22.11
etc.
When I have the 2 columns in separate tables, the data will appear in the PDF. When I add the 2nd (deductions) column to the table and preview, only the data in the 1st column appears. My requirement actually has 3 columns in 2 sections of the top paystub with data from different groups of elements in the XML appearing in each box. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!
