Form Personalization Query

Hi,
Could any one please let me know what does :CTL_GLOBALS.SESSION_DATE exactly do in form personalization. I know it will give the session date but to be specific I want to know the significance of CTL_GLOBALS.
Regards,
Ad

If you are new, I would suggest you read up a little bit on Oracle forms.
You can start with http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Forms_FAQ
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE is an event that fires when the control has navigated to a new item
WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE is an event that fires when the control has navigated to a new record
WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE is an event that fires when the control has navigated to a new block
What is Item, Record , Block interms a oracle apps forms screen (say element entry screen in payroll).
See http://osm.utoronto.ca/i/doc/AEMIG/frms_comp_about.htm
DO_KEY is a way to execute the actions associated with that key.
NEXT_ITEM is the field that the cursor will go to after you hit tab.
Hope this helps,

Projects Expenditure Inquiry - Forms Personalization Query

Hi, and Happy New Year...
I'm using 11.5.10.2 and am stuck on a forms personalization and wondered if I could ask for some help please?
I'm using a Projects Inquiry responsibility, and going into Expenditures > Expenditure Inquiry > Project
I want to hide the "Mass Adjust" button at the bottom of the screen (which appears to the left of the "Clear" button).
I've then gone into Help > Diagnostics > Custom Code > Personalize
Function Name     PA_PAXTRAPE_SINGLE_PROJECT
Form Name     PAXTRAPE
Seq          1
Description     Test
Level          Function
Condition
Trigger Event     WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
Processing Mode     Not in Enter-Query-Mode
Actions
Object Type     Item
Target Object     ITEMS_QF.MASS_ADJUST
Property Name     DISPLAYED
Value          FALSEThis works when I first go into the form - the "Mass Adjust" button is hidden.
However, I then have to search for a project - I enter the project number, press tab, and EBS searches for the project, and displays the project name.
The "Mass Adjust" button then appears again.
I have tried all sorts of variations:
Function Name     PA_PAXTRAPE_SINGLE_PROJECT

Any advice about how to do this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
In the end I spoke to someone in the office who said that it would be simpler to use menu and function exclusions instead. I then deleted the personalisations, and added the following exclusions against the responsibility, which worked:
Function:
Expenditure Inquiry: Run Project Streamline
**** Removes "Run Request" button from "PA Expenditure Items" screen*
Submenu:
Expenditure Inquiry: Adjustments
**** Removes "Mass Adjust" button from "Find Project Expenditure Items" screen*
Thanks for your help though, it's much appreciated.

Query regarding Forms Personalization

Hi ,
I have a requirement to execute the following code in a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger to update the WHERE clause of the Item Category flexfield in the Purchasing module.
Normally I would have executed this code from within the trigger. How can I replicate it using Forms Personalization, I mean what type of Action do I need to define which will execute this code directly or indirectly.
FND_KEY_FLEX.UPDATE_DEFINITION( BLOCK=>'LINES',
FIELD=>'ITEM_CATEGORY',
ENABLED=>'N'
WHERE_CLAUSE=>' ( NVL(DISABLE_DATE, SYSDATE + 1) > SYSDATE AND category_id =
644)'
I also tried to create a stored procedure without luck as fnd_key_flex is defined in a library attached to the form, so get error creating the procedure.
Thank You
Shankar.

Hi,
I guess I will need to achieve this using CUSTOm.pll. But, I have a query !
The KFF is defined using fnd_key_flex.define(block=>'LINES',
field=>'ITEM_CATEGORY',
id=>'CATEGORY_ID',
code=>'MCAT',
appl_short_name=>'INV',
num=> ':po_startup_values.structure_id',
          required => 'Y',
          validate => 'FULL',
usedbflds=>'Y',
          autopick=> 'Y',
          qbe_in=> 'Y',
SELECT_COMB_FROM_VIEW=>'MTL_CATEGORIES_VL',
          COLUMN=> 'DESCRIPTION \\\"' || NAME_IN('PARAMETER.DESCRIPTION') || '\\\"(240)',
WHERE_CLAUSE=>' ( NVL(DISABLE_DATE, SYSDATE + 1) > SYSDATE )',
WHERE_CLAUSE_MSG=> 'APPL=PO;NAME=PO_RI_INVALID_CATEGORY_ID');
where it selects from mtl_categories_v.
Tha Dev Guide mentions that we can update the WHERE_CLAUSE using for eg.
FND_KEY_FLEX.UPDATE_DEFINITION( BLOCK=>'LINES',
FIELD=>'ITEM_CATEGORY',
ENABLED=>'N'
WHERE_CLAUSE=>' ( NVL(DISABLE_DATE, SYSDATE + 1) > SYSDATE AND
category_id = 644)'
But, there is no option to change the source view itself. How do I change that ? I cannot see a parameter SELECT_COMB_FROM_VIEW for the FND_KEY_FLEX.UPDATE_DEFINITION !!
Can I write the FND_KEY_FLEX.DEFINE again in CUSTOM.pll using my custom view instead ? Will it override the default definition ?
Any suggestions or alternative ways would be appreciated.
Thanks
Shankar

Query on Oracle form personalization

Guys,
I want to Open (Zoom) Approved Supplier Form from RFQ Form for a particular item of a buyer.
To implement the same, I followed the below provided steps.
A. I just opened the RFQ Form.
1. Seq# 10
Condition# WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
Processing Mode# Not in Enter-Query Mode
Actions#
Seq: 10

Message Type: Show
Message Text: :GLOBAL.XX_ITEMNUM
Seq: 30
Type: BuiltIn
Builtin Type: Launch a function
Function Code: PO_POXSCASL
Funcation Name: Define Approved Supplier List
Saved my personalization and clicked on 'Open Approved Supplier' that takes me to "Approved Supplier" form.
B. Approved Supplier form is opened
1. Seq# 10
Condition# WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE

Saved everything and log out/log in and navigate to RFQ form and clicked on "Open Approved Supplier". the moment controller takes me to the Approved Supplier Form, it throws me an error message "Duplicate Item/Commodity being defined (ITEM_COMMODITY = 900842)" Though If I open Approved Supplier form without any personalization and query for 900842 item, it does not throw me an error. I am wondered why its happening. Can you guys please advise me where I am wrong?
Waiting for your replies.
Thanks

Form personalization for a read only responsibility for a custom form

Hi,
I have a read only responsibility. My requirement is to make a custom form updatable through this responsibility but wth a condition that only the specific custom form should be updatable and rest all other form accessed through read only responsibility be read only. How can i achieve this using form personalization?
Pls give me detailed steps if possible.
Thanks

I tried override Query Only values through Forms Personalization but it did not work for me. With a bit of determination I might have been able to work around it but no luck on that front.
You can do it this way, although it's a bit cumbersome:
1. Clone every function and menu in the Responsibility
2. In all but your custom function set the Function parameter QUERY_ONLY=YES

Supplier form Personalization - One Time Flag

form personalization on supplier window
Forms Personalization to check one time flag
I have performed below steps to default the one time flag on supplier window for a custom reponsibility
1.Open the Suppliers and the Forms Personalization windows.
2. Seq=1, Description: Activate One_Time flag
3.Level = Function
Condition:
Trigger Event = WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE
Trigger Object = VNDR
Condition = :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS = 'NEW'
Actions
Seq=1, Type = Property
Description = One Time
Object Type = Item
Target Object = VNDR.ONE_TIME_FLAG_MIR
Property Name = VALUE
Value= Y
4.In the Context area entered the custom responsibility to be affected by this personalization.
5.Save your work and close all windows. Using the responsibility on 4, open the suppliers window again, go to the Classification tab and see if it is checked.
Issue is
when i open the supplier form it shows One Time Flag as checked
and I entered the supplier details and save the record .
from Find Supplier window when I query that particular supplier it shows One Time Flag as unchecked i.e ('N')
can you help me reg this issue ?

You can do one personalization at the form level without any scope
And then in the condition clause you can say
fnd_global.resp_id in (select responsibility_id from fnd_responsibilty_tl where RESPONSIBILITY_NAME in ('PAYABLE MANAGER','Payables', etc....))
This will make the personalization kick in only for the responsibilities you enter in the where clause above.
Hope this answers your question

Call Another Form using Forms Personalization

Hi All,
I have created a Custom form using TEMPLATE.fmb and created functions in Apps and assigned to Responsibility etc and it all works OK.
Now, I need to call this Custom form from another seeded(PO form) Via Tools -> Menu.
using Forms personalization I can get the Menu Entry and Actions to execute the Form successfully from the PO Form.
BUT, I need it to automatically query records in my CUSTOM form based on my current PO_HEADER_ID value on my PO Form.
How can I do it ?
Do I need to modify my Block and add some parameters and then pass a value via Personalization ?
Please help !

PO Summary Form Personalization

Hi Gurus,
We are having a requirement as below.
User Created a Purchase Order with 100 Lines and approved it.Now he wants to change the Promise Date of few Lines.User used the PO Summary form to do it.In the "FInd Purchase Orders Form" User enter the PO Number in Number Field and Line Number in Lines Field as 77 and click on the find button.Its Navigated to Purchase Order Lines Form then clicked on the Open Button in "Purchase Order Lines Form" then the Purchase Order Form opens with all the Lines that are Presented in the PO.But the User Needs only the Particular Line 77 of that PO in order to Modify Promise Date.But its not Navigating to Particular Line Directly why?
Is there any Possibility of doing Form Personalization? If so please suggest me the clear step by step process to attain my requirement.
We are using Oracle Applications R12.1.3.
Are there any profile options to navigate the cursor to particular line?
Its my urgent requirement.Please gurus help me out immediately in solving this requirement.
Thanks In Advance,
RS.
Edited by: user2549696 on Jul 27, 2012 4:00 PM

Hello RS,
I don't see a simple way to achieve what you are looking for. Most probably you will have to develop a customization to the form (customize the form itself) or maybe via CUSTOMPLL, but I have no experience with that. Maybe someone else has some ideas on that.
Another option is that people use the form in a different way, using the "Query by Example":
On the find form they enter just the PO number and press on find, then open to open and they will see all the lines in the PO. Then they click into the Lines block, press F11, enter Line number, press CTRL+F11 to execute the search and it will show only this specific line. Maybe not so efficient as you want, but at least faster than scrolling through all the PO lines.
And in R12 there is a web-based version of the PO Summary (OAF page), maybe you should explore that one as well? It's called "Buyer Work Center". Click on tab "Orders" and on that page on (sub)tab "Lines". Then you can add search fields "Order" and "Line Number" (use forms personalizations to have those search fields per default available).
Then search for PO & Line number, press Go. Then above the search results table you can select from the LOV the entry "Update Line" and press Go and it will navigate immediately to the specific Line and you can update the quantity or date.
kind regards,
David.

Avoid forms personalization/trigger during record update

Hi all,
I am trying to use forms personalization restrict users not to duplicate invoice numbers for a given supplier in Oracle Payables(Oracle Apps
R 12.1.3).
Here are my details,
Trigger Event: WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
Trigger Object: INV_SUM_FOLDER
Condition: 0<(SELECT count(*) FROM ap_invoices_all WHERE invoice_num =:INV_SUM_FOLDER.INVOICE_NUM AND vendor_id = :INV_SUM_FOLDER.VENDOR_ID) AND :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS='INSERT'
Processing Mode: Not in Enter-Query Mode
Actions:
Type: Message
Message Type: Error
Message Text: Duplicate Invoice Number
This trigger shoud only for new record inserts so, I have used the condition, *:system.record_status = 'INSERT'* but this trigger is still firing during update of existing invoices, say when i wanna change terms for the AP invoice.
I couldnt figure out where the error is, if anyone has any idea, please help.
Thanks.
Edited by: Kwin on Oct 10, 2012 9:12 AM
Edited by: Kwin on Oct 10, 2012 9:21 AM

You can have one more condition like
0<(SELECT count(*) FROM ap_invoices_all WHERE invoice_num =:INV_SUM_FOLDER.INVOICE_NUM AND vendor_id = :INV_SUM_FOLDER.VENDOR_ID) AND :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS='INSERT'
AND
:INV_SUM_FOLDER.INVOICE_ID is null
because Invoice Id will be not not null for existing Invocies and for new invoices , it will be null.

Now, user want the distribution lines description should be default by the line description and can be modified manually. How to handle it?

Saled Order Form Personalization Error

Hi Friends,
I have a problem while doing the Form personalization for Saled order form, particularly for the 'Payment Terms' in the 'Others' Tab.
Problem is that i have disabled the 'Payment Terms' filed as per the requirement that no client cannot insert, update and delete the Payment terms in that filed but client want to default value in the Payment term as a 'CREDIT CARD'.
while creating the SO also the filed is disabled, problem is while querying the Sales Order form, it is not allowing to query because 'Credit Card' already is there.
please suggest me a solution for this.
Thanks
Anushka

Hi,
As far as I understand; You have 2 requirements
1. Payment term should be always 'CREDIT CARD'.
2. Payment term defaulted should not be updated or deleted by User.
Action Plan:
1. Use 'Not in Enter Query Mode'
2. First Insert value into Payment terms.
3. Make Update allowed as False instead of Disable.Disabling a field and inserting may cause errors in particular scenarios.
If you still face problem, try inserting Payment terms on the basis of some condition, i.e when this condition is met then only insert will be done or else the field will be left blank. Ex: Customer Name not null
