Expense Report showing comma instead of period (100,00% instead of 100.00%)

Hi,
Reports in Expense Reports part of ESS is displaying comma "," instead of period ".". I am guessing a configuration setting somewhere is set wrong. Would someone tell me how I can correct this?
Thank you.

Personal Credit Card Transactions(used in expense report) showing unused

We have an issue here (in Oracle 11.5.10.2) where credit card transactions even though used(tied to an expense report and having final status as PAID/INVOICED) is still coming as UNUSED in the aging outstanding credit card transactions report. This is due to the fact that in the credit card transaction table, the expense amount column for these transaction is zero and hence these gets picked in the report. This is a bug that many users are facing the system and I have found in the metalink that this is a bug and a patch 5080064 needs to be applied. The concerned metalink note is Credit Card Transactions Included in Expense Report and Adjusted to Personal show as Used[ID 414566.1].
But it states here it is for Oracle Internet Expense 11.5.9 and pre-requsite patch is
3618125 - Patch 11i.OIE.J
4341684 - 11I.OIE.J (11i.FIN_PF.G) Rollup #2
We are at iExpense patch level 4165000 - patch 11i.OIE.K which superseds both the above patches.
The sql files included in the patch have lower version than we have in our instance. We are skeptical whether applying the patch can resolve our issue. We are sure that this is a bug and we need to know if there is a patch for fixing it or any workaround.

Hi Priyanka,
We have had the same issue last month where same VCF4 file has been uploaded twice and duplicate CC records have been created. Actually the application never creats same record again although same VCF4 file been uploaded multiple times but after applying some patch system started creating duplicate CC records. That patch was meant to resolve a different issue on iExpense side but affected VCF4 file uploading program.
To narrow down the problem you can ask business users not to submit the expense report for the same transactions, if they have already done it and the expense report is not yet approved then they can withdraw it .
As a permanent solution it's highly recommended to raise an SR with Oracle Support.
I'm sure this is really painful issue in terms of reconciliation and can't take any decision as the Credit Cards data is more sensitive...
Wish you all the best...
Cheers,
Vara

Xl reporter shows different result before and after Period-End Closing.

Hi SAP experts,
We have an issue with XL Reporter. When we ran Period-End closing and ran XL - PL Period & YTD (with the same parameters), XLR shows nil in the Actual YTD column and the monthly figures are out by a big difference (example pre-rollover it was $110K after rollover it shows negative $12M).
This happens on 2 different clients running 2 different SAP B1 (2007A PL 42 and 8.8 PL 13) on the same XL Reporter which is possibly the default XL report that comes with the installation.
I don't have any idea why the XLR is running 2 different figures altogether when running the same XLR using the same parameter before and after rolling the year over. The default SAP B1 P&L report stays the same before and after the rollover, I would have expect that the same would happen with the XLR.
Please advise.
Regards,
Didy Arfiono

Hi Julie,
Thanks for the reply. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by excluding a certain transaction for closing entries as this would defeat the whole purpose of PEC which as you stated was to transfer P&L balances to retained earnings account to be carried forward.
I've check at some guides including one from Orchestra Team (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4tUo774eXg) and so far the process that I've done is exactly what it is.

I have been having issues with my iCloud email on my iMac. For some time period, everyday, it won't reload and often shows symbols instead of letters for the text. Any ideas how to solve?

I have been having issues with my iCloud email on my iMac. For some time period, everyday, it won't reload and often shows symbols instead of letters for the text. Any ideas how to solve?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Expense type is not showing in creating expense report

Hi all,
I have done the configuration for Travel management. Expense types are created in : Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Travel Expense Types -> Create Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts.
Also schemas has defined. When I try to create the Expense report using Tcode TRIP, I can see all the expense types, but when I do it from portal, expense types are not showing.
Please tell me what configuration I am missing.

Storing expense report creation date and showing in PDF document

Hi,
We have implemented ESS buisness package 1.0. In travel and expense.. travel expense PDF form is generated..which is PDF form from ECC..form name is PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM..
i want to modify this...this form should store the day when the expense report is created..
In this form there is one field but it display current server date..
But i want this field to removed and want to store the date on which this expense report was created..
regards,
jigar Oza

You probably might have placed the code to populate the Data/ time value on the initialize event. Before you assign the current system date, check if the field has a value already. If it has then do not assign a new value.
Thanks

Expense Reports in PrePay Audit no longer show risks involved

I have expense reports in my Prepay audit queue that contain risks as defined by the Refinement Template, however the reports are no longer flagged to identify the specific risk involved. My Tech Support Admin says she has to "Resave" the template to allow future reports submitted to be flagged accordingly, but it will not "Reflag" the current list of reports. My question is why does this template fail and have to be "resaved"? There is no indicator that lets me know at what point it fails and risks are no longer flagged.
My current process for the prepay audit queue is to save the risk information in the comment field so when I have time to research all i have to do is look at the comment. Now when the template fails, this risk information is no longer available so if i don't save it the first time, i have no idea that the report may have a duplicate transaction or is out of policy and is at risk of being paid in error.
Any help is appreciated!

Kindly help.

Hi,
As i told, it is done in this Class CL_FITV_POWL_FEEDER_TRIPS and in the method IF_POWL_FEEDER~get_actions.
If you want to do enhancement in this, click the Pre-Exit or Post-Exit button and enter your own code.
We have done like this:
    data: lr_action_def type ref to powl_actdescr_sty.
    data ls_action type powl_actdescr_sty.
    loop at c_action_defs reference into lr_action_def.
      if ( lr_action_def->actionid = 'CREATE_EXP' and lr_action_def->text = 'Create New Expense Report' ).
        lr_action_def->text = 'Create New Claim'.
        lr_action_def->tooltip = 'Enter New Claim'.
        ls_action-actionid = lr_action_def->actionid.
        ls_action-cardinality = lr_action_def->cardinality.
        ls_action-placement = lr_action_def->placement.
        ls_action-enabled = lr_action_def->enabled.

Custom Role - To show "Create Expense Report" Iview

Hi,
I'm creating end user roles in the portal side and in that, i want to add in the "Create Expense Report" Iview or Page, which exists in Portal Content -> Travel & Expenses.
But after adding the Iview or Page, i could not able to see the iview or page in the menu.
But if i add the whole "Travel & Expenses" page, can able to see all "My Trips & Expenses", "Create Expense Report" etc.
What could be the problem?
Thanks.

Well you can always hide some your services from Travel Area page.
Try options in Home Page Configuration, you can remove unwanted services from Area page.

Cost element and Line item reports show different actual costs

Hi PS experts,
My client has an issue pertaining to actual cost reports. The cost element report shows actual costs $42,000 for one WBS and when I double click to see details the value it shows is $2100. Even when I checked line item report for this WBS the value is $2100. What could be the reason for getting different values? If some one throw some light on this it would be great helpful to me
Regards,
Laxminarsimha

The values in CJI3 should be correct and will include all postings (e.g. Settlement values) and possibly Actual Revenues unless a filter is in place - so take this as being your correct figure to start with.
Your drilldown will show the same value as CJI3 because it is CJI3
Any cost element report you are using is probably correct for what you are asking - is this a Standard Cost Element Report you are using or is it bespoke
One thing to be careful of when you drilldown on Cost Element Reports is that you do not always get the a make up of the value you have drilled down
e.g.
Cost Element Report was run for Period 1 to 6 2008 and shows £100.00
You drilldown and sometimes the drilldown automatically shows ALL line items e.g £500.00 (not just the values for periods 1 to 6 of 2008 which you may expect £100.00)
In the past I've removed the drilldown capability from bespoke cost element reports to prevent drilldown to the line item report (which is CJI3) because of this problem.
Usually where values for a a number of periods only (not total costs) was required
Other factors to consider
Revenues/Settlements may be excluded from Cost Element Report but will not be excluded from CJI3 unless you specifically restrict
You need to identify which types are postings are missing from the Cost Element Report (what is common...cost element, dr/cr indicator, business transaction)
I've also hit the mistake in the past where I've asked for periods 1 2007 to period 3 2008 and instead of giving me just over a years worth of actual it gave me actuals for periods 1 to 3 for 2007 and 1 to 3 for 2008.
Hope this helps

PC report S_E38_98000088 does not display periodic values

Dear colleagues,
In ECC6.0/new GL we are trying to use report S_E38_98000088 to display Actual/Plan values for a specific month/period, but it looks like the system will always show a cumulative value since the beginning of the fiscal year.
We enter the following on the selection screen:
Currency type: 10
Company code: XXXX
Account number: XXXXXXXX
Ledger: 0L
Controlling area: XXXX
Plan version: 1
Fiscal year: 2011
From Period: 4
To period: 4
Profit Center: XXXXXXX
But when we execute the report, and srill down to the line item level, we see that the report picks up all posting in 2011 instead of 04.2011 only.
The same happens if we try to execute the report for 12.2010 - it will select all postings in 2010.
Anyone knows why is it working like that and how can I display a specific period?
Many thanks,
Yoel.

Shalom yoel,
this is not a bug.
Please bear in mind that this report shows cumulative values
for Balance Sheet accounts.
The calculated keyfigure BILWERT (Balance Sheet Value) behaves in
different ways for balance sheet and for P+L accounts. For balance sheet
accounts it always provides you with cumulated values. For example
for period 6 to 6 it will show cumulated value for periods 1 - 6 plus
balance carry forward value.
The BILWER is calculated like:
BILWERT = WERTB + WERTE,
WERTB - Balance sheet accounts value
WERTE - Income statement account value
But if an account is a P+L statement account, you will see the
real period balance value for the particular period range. It means,
that for period 6-6 you will see value for the single period 6. For
period 1-6 you will see cumulated value for period range 1 - 6 without
balance carry forward.
The report behaviour is dependent on your Financial Statement Version
(FSV) and how the particular accounts are valuated.
It means the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) All accounts assigned to the nodes "Assets" and "Liab+Equity" are
   taken as balance sheet accounts and cumulated values are provided
   for those accounts by report S_PL0_86000028 (and other GL reports)!!
2) All accounts which are not assigned within the FSV at all are
   considered as balance sheet accounts and cumulated values are
   provided by GL drilldown reports.
3) All accounts which are assigned OUT of "Assets" and "Liab+Equity"
   nodes within particular FSV are taken as Profit and Loss acounts and
   period values are provided for them in the GL drilldown reports
The original settings (which you can see under T-cd: FS00) has no
influence on it when using the FI-GL drilldown reports.
Please take into account the note 1154817 and the documentation
to OB58 and RFBILA00 how should define the correct FSV structure.
That is the design and usage of the hierarchy of the Financial Statement
Version and key figure.
There is no error in the standard system

Users locked out of editing Expense Reports

Hi There,
Users of the system are reporting that they are frequently unable to edit their expense reports, as the system incorrectly believes that they are attempting to edit reports in multiple sessions.
A general error is occurring in which the user will be editing an expense report and will perform an action such as closing the browser, closing a browser window/tab or even simply exiting an expense report while using the application.
After returning to the report, an error message appears saying that they are editing the expense report even though they only have one session open.
This would suggest that upon performing such an action, the original session becomes stuck while editing the report, resulting in users having to wait long periods of time before this stuck session is automatically closed.
Is this a commonly known problem, and is there any way that this can be fixed?
Thanks,
Tom Wright

Tom,
It's one of the biggest pains of the system! Requests have been submitted to SAP numerous times to stop locking people out of editing their reports for silly reasons that you mention. I am not sure if they have any intention of improving it.
There is a trick to unlocking the report for editing though.
- log off the system
- attempt to log back on with the wrong password
- then log back on with the correct one
This action has worked 100% of the time in unlocking a report for edit.
Best of luck, Britt
