Help Required in : PO Account generator workflow customization.

Hi All,
I am new to workflow, I want to customize PO account generator workflow in 11i. I need to build the logic to populate charge-account on PO.
I have identified the process in PO Account generator workflow but I am not sure whether I should pick the same process for modification or create new process.
As I don't want if any upgrade patch applied , it will overwrite modified standard process. I have read articles on preserving customizations but couldn't get much from it, they are very confusing.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Asif,
Thanks for the reply.
I referred the links mentioned by you, but couldn't find anything relevant to re-triggering of Account Generator workflow.
The customizations I did are working fine and is triggering the workflow. But my Question is, what are the circumstances that re-trigger the Account Generator for a given Purchase Order.
To elaborate, say for instance I have created a PO for PO category 'Electrical Equipments' furnishing all other details and charge account is generated for this category, and the PO is saved. Now I come back and change the PO category to 'Medical Equipments' for the same PO, retaining all the other info same.
So here, will the Account generator be re-triggered to generate different charge account?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Nivedana

Could you please help me how can I get the :line_id and :header_id here. I mean what should be the value to be passed to getattrbvalue which returns the line_id, header_id.

This sounds like Oracle Applications.
I suggest you ask your question in the E Business Suite section of the Forums, that's the place for Oracle Apps questions.

PO Account Generator Workflow

We are customizing following account generator workflows:
1. PO Requisition Account Generator(POWFRQAG)
2. PO Account Generator(POWFPOAG)
Requirement: When user enters charge account manually for requisition/purchase order, SEGMENT4 value has to be updated based on business rules. Based on new SEGMENT4 value, charge account should be updated accordingly. User will be entering the charge account manually.
Problem: We have included required customization in these workflows. 'CODE_COMBINATION_ID ' attribute(charge account id) is updated with new CCID value. However this value is not getting reflected in the form.
Example: Charge account ID which is entered manually in the form is 14049. As per business rules, new charge account id will be 14052. However this value when passed to the form is not getting updated. When we see workflow attribute values from 'Status Monitor', charge account id is having the value 14052.
So the main question is whenever charge account is entered manually, requisition/purchase order form allows updating charge account through workflow? Generally, if project related information is entered, charge account can be overwritten with workflow. However in our case, we are not having any project related information. Based on charge account which is entered manually, we will be updating SEGMENT4 & then generate a new CCID. Any suggestions or pointers will really help.

Query about Inventory Cost of Goods Sold Account Generator WF Customization

Hi
We are trying to Customize the 'Inventory Cost of Goods Sold Account Generator' workflow for our client in Oracle Applications 11.5.10 instance.
We have successfully uploaded the modified workflow and changed the GL Account Generator Process to point to the Custom Workflow.
Database is bounced after this change, but the changes are not taking effect.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
You shouldn't need to bounce the database for any changes to take affect (although if you were experiencing the "existing state of the packages has been discarded" error then it would clear that).
Switch on debugging so that the workflow is persisted rather than being run in forced synchronous mode, and then see what route the process is taking. If you open the workflow from the database via workflow builder, are you seeing the correct version?

Matt

One step, two step in Table Maintenance Generator
Single step: Only overview screen is created i.e. the Table Maintenance Program will have only one screen where you can add, delete or edit records.
Two step: Two screens namely the overview screen and Single screen are created. The user can see the key fields in the first screen and can further go on to edit further details.
Difference Between Select Single and Select UpTo One Rows
According to SAP Performance course the SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS is faster than SELECT SINGLE because you are not using all the primary key fields.
select single is a construct designed to read database records with primary key. In the absence of the primary key, it might end up doing a sequential search, whereas the select up to 1 rows may assume that there is no primary key supplied and will try to find most suitable index.
The best way to find out is through sql trace or runtime analysis.
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT SINGLE' statement selects the first row in the database that it finds that fulfils the 'WHERE' clause If this results in multiple records then only the first one will be returned and therefore may not be unique.
Mainly: to read data from
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.
Mainly: to check if entries exist.

Help required understanding steps of Transfer Workflow:WS01000014

Hi All,
Please help me understand the steps of this workflow..i have already gone thru some explaination about this workflow from this [link|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=292192&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a] but getting confused with few steps.
Correct me if i am wrong ..the workflow is triggered when a new position is created?(to which employee is going to be transffered?)
In step1:check target postion..of who? and then what happens?
step on user and role is confusing too
there are two specify postion in two departments..what are the two postions for ? 1 fro employee and one for his new manager/hr admin?
pls advice
thanks in advance

Hello,
The workflow is triggered when an instance of object ORGCHEARM
issues the event CREATED - ie there has been an organizational change.
Step 1 is condition "Check Target Position" :
( Designation.Root <> 'P'     and
Designation.Object Type <> ''     and
Designation.Object ID   <>     00000000
) or
( Designation.Root = 'P'     and
Designation.Object Type = 'S'     and
Designation.Object ID   <>     00000000
If true then continue, if false: Specify Agent.
Specify Agent branches according to type of
Agent Specification. The condition is:
Designation.User Name <> ''
In both cases task TS01000118 (Specify Position in New Department)
is called. If the condition was true then it's called with as agent
the contents of ORGCHEARM.ACROSSBORDERUSER; if not true then
the role AC0000168 is used to determine the superior(s) of the
"object type affected" and they are used as the agents (ie they receive the workitem).
Hope this helps.

Help Required :Unable to auto generate the layout in BIP

Hi All,
This is Ronny, I am really having a tough time using OBIEEE. I am trying to create a simple report in which when i try to auto genreate a rtf template then it says *" failed to load the layout"* and gives me connection timed out error ( unable to autoload). I edited it and tried a simple select statement but still no luck.
Has somebody else faced the same problem, I request you to please give me your inputs on the same.
Thanks in advance
Ronny.

Hi Sree,
Thanks a alot for replying, i use the query builder to build the initial query but even after that it fails to auto load the template. I tried building the simplest of queries through the query builder but got the same error even when the query runs fine in TOAD . However, upon trying again i got some luck and it generated the template. But still for me, its a hook and crook means i am not sure that that it would generate the template again for me or not.
Thanks alot for replying ..however, i am working on this and will get back to you once i get the error again.
Thanks
Ronny
