Import Oracle Financials

When importing an Oracle Financial Database are there any steps that I must take besides sizing the objects correctly.
Do I need to be concerned with Constraints.
Thanks

Not sure if this is three questions or one-
1) To import data from Financials to OFA you would use the OFA/GL link. This is explained in the OFA documentation.
2) If you want to view Financials data in Discoverer you can use the pre-built EULs that come with the eBusiness suite or if you understand the Financials schema you can create your own EUL by manually selecting tables/columns from the Financials schema. Another option is to use a third-party EUL such as that provided by Noetix.
3) If you want to view OFA data using Discoverer - this is not possible. OFA stores its data in a separate multi-dimensional server, Oracle Express. Discoverer cannot connect to an Express database.
Hope this helps,

Importing Sales Transactions into Oracle Financials

I have a customer who is planning to use Oracle Financials as their finance solution, but we need to auto-feed the sale transactions from the sales system. These transactions corresponds (loosely speaking) to sales (or purchase) orders and delivery order. We have the ability to reformat the data (if necessary) to any format or through most interfaces (ODBC, XML, etc).
I just do not know enough about Oracle Financial to determine the appropriate format and connectivity.
I read on the Oracle Financial product page that it is possible to integrate that solution with third party solution - but there is hardly any other information available. So,
1. Has anyone done similar integration before ?
2. If so, can you kindly offer some advice - where (or whom) should I go next for more information ?
Thanks and best regards
Lai Hock

Hello:
Project's activity management gateway (AMG) is the means to
import transactions into projects. This includes creating
tasks, budgets etc. For importing/recording commitments there
is a table that needs to be created and a view that needs to be
modified to show external commitments within projects (I believe
the view is named something like
PA_External_system_commitments_view)

Hi,
I can tell you about my experience in different process.
I usually have a first interview with the recruiter/agency this first interview is quite general, he usually review your CV, job history,... the recruiter ask you about your interest or motivation for that process, if you are willing to travel, reallocate, etc.. your salary expectations and your knowledge in the different modules. This is the easier interview and if everything is ok, the recruiter will tell you for next steps, probably about the project, the employer, etc...
In the second interview normally is with the consultancy company, with the manager and an experience consultant that usually asks about technical questions, they ask for example, how to setup a dual accounting process with SLA in GL, which reports you would use to reconcille AP/AR and GL, how many segments do you need to setup in GL for a specific business situation, how to load assest in FA, which are de accounting steps from buy goods until you account the AP invoices,...
In some cases you have also a final interview with customer just to get the final approval, but the really important one is the second interview.
Good Luck ;-)

Oracle Financials 11.0

I am interest in discovering all available APIs that can be invoked by external applications to post data to the Oracle Apps tables. For example, the Oracle Receivables Transaction API can be used to import invoices, credit memos, and debit memos into Oracle Receivables from an external system.
Does a definitive list of Oracle Financials 11.0 APIs exist? If so, where?

Try this query in SQL*Plus connected as user APPS:
Select Object_name
from all_objects
where object_name like '%API%'
and object_type = 'PACKAGE'
This will give you a list of all Packages containing 'API'
Hope this helps!

Hi Sushanth,
See the merchandise integration guide and the operation guide of RMS (pretty good for a starter, though not more than a glimpse.)
Usually a specialized consulting firm will have the people with the experience and knowledge of these areas at hand to assist you.
I think if you really want to have these questions answered, you must hire a specialist consultant - I don't expect the forum to fill in those gaps for you, but who knows.
Also the CRP of an implementation project will deal with some of your questions, the CRP being lead by a subject matter expert (SME).
Best regards,
Erik

Planning to move to Oracle Financials, need help

Hi All,
Currently I am working as a Supply chain management technical consultant. I have good experience in sql, pl/sql, shell and perl scripting. I am planning to move to Oracle financials (I was told that oracle suppy chain market is not that great for a technical guy). I would like to know what all I need to learn to start working as a financials technical guy.
Thanks in advance.

I do not quite understand what you mean.
I added the ActionListener when I initialize the
controls while the frame is loaded.Yes I missed that but you still have a loop in the event thread which is a NO NO. Maybe this will illustrate AN approach -
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Fred702 extends JPanel
    public Fred702()
        super(null);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640, 480));
        final JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello");
        add(label);
        final int deltaT = 50;
        new javax.swing.Timer(deltaT, new ActionListener()
            double theta = 0.0;
            double deltaTheta = 0.2 * Math.PI * deltaT / 1000.0;
            int r = 200;
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                int x = (int)(Math.sin(theta) * r + 0.5 + r);
                int y = (int)(Math.cos(theta) * r + 0.5 + r);
                label.setBounds(x, y, label.getPreferredSize().width, label.getPreferredSize().height);
                theta += deltaTheta;
        }).start();
    public static void main(String[] args)
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Fred702");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setContentPane(new Fred702());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);

Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?

Dear Colleagues,
Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?
Thank you in advance.
Andrey

It is not an easy change. Oracle typically recommends against it but sometimes company structure or processes change so much that you are forced to do it.
Take a look at http://www.vantagesolutions.com/media/SCOUG_May_2004.pdf as well as http://www.erpstuff.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6381.
If you google "change oracle chart of accounts", you will find some more hits as well. This is a big project.
If you other business reasons to do a reimplementation, then changing COA as part of that will be very easy.
For a lot of companies debating between reimplementation and upgrade, a need to change COA becomes the last straw in favor of reimplementation.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Differences between Hyperion consolidation and Oracle Financials Consolidat

I'm looking for a document- recommendations etc. explaining why using Hyperion Consolidations versus Oracle Financials Consolidation ?
Thanks
Marcel

Genie,
I agree that a case is made on how well these two ERPs solve the day to day tasks before a company chooses one of these two. But my question is aimed at finance to begin with. You are going to need a general ledger for any company or government regardless of ERP. And how well you can drive the ledger to map your business is the key here.
The way ledger is built is around a business area ,company or country and is very tighly designed in SAP. I would like to know if there is any equivalent of the configuration items in ORACLE. I am more interested in terminology of ORACLE.
For example ,
SAP ====> ORACLE
GL ==> Book In ORACLE
Document Number ===> Invoice Number
Posting Period in SAP ==> Posting period In ORACLE
Most of the terms are finance terms , so they are common ( eg. an account number is an account number in ORACLE and SAP ) between two systems. I am interested in any specific thing that is available in ORACLE but not in SAP and vice verse.
thanks for the link you have provided.
Its very useful.

Oracle Financials AP 11i tables Vs R12 tables

Hello,
I have a package that works in Oracle Apps 11i instance. This package is using 11i tables in its cursors. we are moving this package to r12 and thus this package has to run in r12 using r12 tables. I have heard that a lot of tables have been changed from 11i to r12 in oracle financials. here is the code.
Some of the tables in the AP that were used in 11i were AP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_ALL, AP_BANK_BRANCHES, AP_CHECKS_ALL,
AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL,
fnd_lookup_values_vl. I need to know their R12 counterparts or the R12 tables that needs to be inserted here.
SELECT DISTINCT abb.attribute1 attribute1
FROM APPS.ap_bank_accounts_all ABA,
APPS.ap_bank_branches ABB,
XXAP.XXAP_CD_PAYBATCH_APPR_OUT XCOUT,

Hello Srini,
Thank your for the reply. Appreciate it.
I have taken a look at the zip file from that Steven Chen blog, but i guess that does not really help me at the moment i guess. It tells us changes have been made but what needs to be replaced with which tables hasnt been mentioned.
I have taken a look at the document "Bank Setups in R12 Question [ID 434195.1]" and it provided me this below information. Is it right if i replace the tables on the left with the tables on the right.
AP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_ALL --> CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS
AP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_USES_ALL --> CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_ALL
AP_BANK_BRANCHES --> CE_BANK_BRANCHES_VCorrect - pl see this MOS Doc
R12 Cash Management 'How To' documents [ID 580516.1]
AP_CHECKS_ALL -- ??
AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL -- ??These two tables are still valid for R12. Pl see
What are the new tables in R12 for Payables and to what R12 objects are obsoleted 11i tables mapped [ID 1290116.1]

Is the above derived information right? Can you please help me in this? Thank you
Also, i have seen a lot of threads with the same requirement, so i guess that should help a lot of other people.
Thank youHTH

Interfacing Accounting entries to Oracle Financials

Dear Experts,
We are implementing an IS-Retail project for a client. The strange part of the implementation is that the client will still be using Oracle Financials as the Finance module and SAP FICO module will be just a facilitator.
Keeping this in mind we need to do the following:
1) Send all accounting entries created in SAP related to Vendor invoices/credit memos to Oracle Financials.
2) Send all accounting entries created in SAP related to Customer Billing / debit notes/credit notes to Oracle Financials.
3) Send all accounting entries created in SAP related to Stock Movement to Oracle Financials.
For the purpose we have identified following IDocs:
ACLPAY01 [Posting in Accounting: Incoming Invoice] for 1) above
This is essentially an inbound IDoc but can be utilised as an outbound too by doing some sort of customizing. But we do not know exactly how as SAP provides 3 sets of function modules for the purpose.
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACLPAY_CHECK
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACLPAY_POST
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACLPAY_PROJECT
We dont know exactly how to configure so that the outbound ACLPAY01 can be generated whenever a vendor invoice is created.
ACPJOU01 [Posting in Accounting from Materials Management] for 3) above.
This is also an inbound IDoc but can be utilised as an outbound too by doing some sort of customizing. As in case of ACLPAY01, SAP also provides 3 sets of function modules.
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACPJMM_CHECK
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACPJMM_POST
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACPJMM_PROJECT
We dont know exactly how to configure so that the outbound ACPJOU01 can be generated whenever there is a stock movement.
This has been hinted in this link http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/6c/089d0656c511d18ef20000e8366fc2/content.htm
We could not identify any outbound IDoc for the purpose of 2) above.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
-Pankaj

Thanks for your reply
We are using 11.5.9.i tried with payable accounting process also.its showing no data.
Could you please guide me for the solution?
Thanks
