Expense Report Export Program keeps on running normally for hours

Hi and assalam o alay kum Gurus
I am facing a problem in creating of invoice through expense report export program, I create expense report and run the program "Expense Report Export" but the issue is the program keeps on running for several hours we also raised SR for this issue but no solution provided after 6 months.
We are currently on R 12.1.2 can any one please guide me what to do, maybe any some one faced the same issue before, I really need your help just to check whether I missed any setup part or this is some kind of bug.
Best Regards
Danish.

Did you ever find a solution to this question? My internet expense templates are set to receipts are required for CASH and CREDIT CARD over a certain amount. Also, internet expense setup and admin is set to place the report on hold if receipt has not been received. I ran the Expense Report Export and they imported even though receipts were not received. Thank you.

Expense Report Export does not create Invoice in AP

Hello,
I have created several expense reports in AP (Running EBS R12, I am not using iExpenses), but when I use the Expense Report Export request, the invoices are not created. I have looked online and found some plausible solutions. None of them have worked: I've made sure the Employee payment method is set up; the Usage rules for payables are also set up for Employee Expenses in the payment processing transaction type. In the Payables Option screen, I have selected the Automatic Employee as a Supplier option.
Here's the Expense Report Export log:

What else do I need to do? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Astrid

I found the answer and I am posting it here in case someone else needs it:
You need to run the Expense Report Export with the Debug Switch on (you can find this under the request's parameters). When the output is ready, just select "View Log..." and search for the "REJECT CODE"; it will let you know what went wrong with your expense report. In my case, the suppliers I was using had invalid liability accounts. As soon as I updated them, the invoices were generated.

Astrid

Expense Report Export - Payment Method is invalid

Hi all,
We are using 12.1.3 . We entered data for creating invoices via Payables > Invoice > Entry > Expense Reports. After submitted Expense Report Export with source - Payables Expense Reports no invoices was created. We can see in Expenses: Export Results/JSP/ the error : Payment Method is invalid. Any idea how to debug this? We have already payment methods defined and their statuses are 'Active'.
Thanks in advance,
Bahchevanov.

Hi all,
When creating an employee we have checked the option each employee to be a supplier too. But when trying to find that employee as supplier/or even as employee/ we received no rows as result via Suppliers JSP... Any ideas how is that possible?
Thanks,
Bahchevanov.

Power PC G5 Freezing/Crashing, then after restart, running great for HOURS.

I have an old PPC G5 Dual 2.5 with 5 Gigs of RAM, and the Delphi Liquid Cooling system, running OSX 10.5.8.
It will ALWAYS freeze within 20 minutes of startup, and have to be hard-shutdown. After it is restarted, it runs GREAT for HOURS. I can mix a 40-channel Pro Tools session forever, and no crashes, nothing. After it's shut down for a few hours, over night, etc., I'll start it up, and FREEZE. THe freeze is usually accompanied by the fans gradually ramping up until they're full speed. I'm surprised it doesn.t start to move.
What the ****? Why the initial freeze followed by incredible stability?
Please, someone help me without telling me to "clean it" or "replace the processors". The thing runs FLAWLESSLY after the initial freeze.
I find this to be incredibly odd. I have a Mac Pro now and am trying to sell this G5, but would like to resolve this freeze problem first.

No idea on Best Buy's prices.

Also, when we click on Diagnostics button; it says
*"Post-processing has completed for this request, but the manager has not yet marked it as Completed", the report is completing normal but the status is not marked as completed by manager."*
Please help me to find the root cause of this issue.
It happened twice in this week and we had to bounce the Database followed by the CMCLEAN.sql

Keeping a Running Total for Formula fields

Post Author: khanh
CA Forum: Formula
I've been messing around for the past couple of days trying to figure out what the best approach for my problem. So here is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have multiple rows which contains sums for different columns and one of the columns contains the maximum of the sums.
For example:
ROW 1           SUM (A)             SUM(B)             SUM(C)            MAX(sum(a), sum(b), sum(c))<----
Formula Variable 1
ROW 2           SUM (A)             SUM(B)             SUM(C)            MAX(sum(a), sum(b), sum(c))<----
Formula Variable 2
ROW Total      SUM (1A2A)     SUM(1B2B)     SUM(1C+2C)     Result of Row 1 + Result of Row 2
What I did was create a formula variable that evaluates the maximum of those rows and have a summary row, that keeps a running total. I'm not sure how to store the result of that formula variable in the running total since the formula variable isn't an option to select. Does anyone have a suggestions if this is a good approach or if there's another way to approach it?

For each value you enter into scores.text, end it with a

Why does it just keep saying "Downloading Firefox" for hours?

I am downloading from Explorer. It just keeps saying Downloading Firefox after I double click on the installer. It goes on for hours and hours. It is ironic that it tells me that "you're about to enjoy the very latest in speed, flexibility and security so you're always in control." Please help.

That's a hard question to answer, since it could be a particular download server at fault, or maybe your security software.
If you are downloading the "stub" installer from the main page, could you try getting the "full" installer from this page (scroll down to your preferred language):

Create SSRS report export option pipe delimited .txt format for subscription in sharepoint integrated mode

I'm trying to research a way of creating a custom export option called Pipe.txt. Which is just a pipe delimited .txt format option for a report that i have that requires this format. This report will set up in a subscription that'll run a daily basis
for the previous business day.
I'm running on a SharePoint Integrated Mode. I have seen the option of changing the rsreportserver.config file which doesn't work in my case because the file doesn't exist in integration mode. I was wondering what are some ways or possibly some links to
achieving this because I've ran into dead ends or execution option i don't understand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tell me how to download an update of Foxfire to a conclusion. How long should it take. I have run it for hours and hours and it never quits or is successful.

Tell me how long a download of Foxfire takes and why it never is successful on my E-machine that is 2 years old.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and if there are still problems, delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

INVALID PAY METHOD in expense report

Hi,
While running expense report, i am getting an error INVALID PAY METHOD. I have updated the payment method as per the suggestions from metalink and it didn't help either. Could anybody please tell me the steps how to resolve the issue?
Regards,
BS.

Hey Cheryl,
The script doesn't return any record.
I did the following setup before submitting expense report export program :
1. Navigate: Payables responsibility -> Setup -> Payment -> Payment Administrator -> Payments Setup -> Disbursement System Options -> Go To Task
2. Depending on your setup, choose the View Settings button for 'Enterprise Level' or 'Organization Level'
3. Choose Update button
4. For 'Default Payment Method', select 'Based Only on Payment Method Defaulting Rules Setup' or 'Override Defaulting Rules when Default Method Set for Payee'.
5. Choose Apply button.
6. Navigate: Payables responsibility -> Setup -> Payment -> Payment Administrator -> Payments Setup -> Payment Methods -> Payment Method Defaulting Rules -> Go To Task
7. For Oracle Payables, create a Payment Method Defaulting Rule for Employee Expense
a) Choose the appropriate Payment Method from the LOV
b) Give the Rule a Name
c) Payment Processing Transaction Type = Specify
d) Operator - Equal To
Type Name - Employee Expense
e) Leave all other fields as defaulted or change as required.
8. Choose Apply button
9. Retest the issue
10. Default the payment method at supplier level.

Bharat.

Importing Expense Report from legacy to Oracle Payables??

All,
I need to import ER from legacy to payables. I used ap_expense_reports_headers_all & ap_expense_report_lines_all tables. But the "Expense Report Program" is not picking up the data from the tables though i populated all the required columns of the tables!!! When i open the "View Output" it says "The conc.request did not create an output file"!!!
Can anyone tell me what could be the reason behind the failure of the program?
Do I need to populate anyother column to resolve this issue?
Detailed response is highly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Sen

Steps to import into AP
Navigate to the Accounts Payable Responsibility
Go to View -> Requests -> Submit a New Request -> Single Request -> OK
Submit the Expense Report Export Program, after specifying all the mandatory parameters
Source parameter should 'Oracle Internet Expenses'
To view the expense report created
Navigate to the Accounts Payable Responsibility attached to the User
Go to Invoices -> Entry -> Invoices
In the Invoice Workbench Window query the Invoice Num field with the Name of the Expense Report created in the previous step. The Invoice is displayed in the Invoice Workbench with the Type as Expense Report

Approval of Expense report invoice

I'm working in R12 (12.0.6) and I have requirement create approval logic for invoice of type expense report.
I'm using AME but I found AP invoice workflow (APINVAPR) doesn't support invoice approval for expense report imported by cocurrent program.
My question Is there any way to overide this and allow approval (to make Approval Required)for expense report invoice imported through the Payables Expense Report Export Program ?
Edited by: user13482304 on Jul 11, 2012 12:02 PM

Hi
Invoices imported from iexpenses do not fall under the invoice approval. The idea is that the Approval process is implemented within iexpenses itself. So whtever approval requirement is there, it can be incorporated within the expense report approval AME. The approved expense report will create an AP invoice which has already passed through the AP invoice approval process (through the iexp approval AME process).
Hope this clarifies.

Hi Siva,
have checked the log file, the reason for rejection of all expense reports is due to the reason INVALID ASSIGNMENT. This normally happens when there is a missing configuration in the sequential NUmbering feature ....
If the Sequential Numbering profile option is enabled, then you must have defined a document sequence ... if you did not then you have to change the profile option Sequential Numbering value to NOT USED. So that system would not look for Sequences when performing import ....
Also check the below references and make the change as suggested .. that would resolve your issue ..
References:
AP: Apxiimpt Invalid Assignment Sequence Assigned To Specified Document Category [ID 235699.1]
Invoice Import rejects invoices with Invalid Assignment Reject Code [ID 106178.1]
