Open Interfaces and API

Anyone figured out how to set a column back to Null using the 11i open interfaces and/or API's ???
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Updating a column to a Null value is only available for Release 11 via
patch 9073379. From package INVUPD1B.pls version 110.4 onwards Oracle is supporting the following ways to update NULL to item attributes through Item Open Import:
For Numeric fields : insert -999999
For Character fields : insert '!'
This only applies to fields that are nullable in the form.
I have a list that I got off of Metalink at one time, but have not been able to find it again. A search on Metalink using 'IOI null' should give you a little to look at.

  • Diff Between Interfaces and API

    Hi to all.
    Can anybody tell me , What is the basic diff between API and Interfaces ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Lalit,
    Both place validation will happen. In Interface table as well as in API.
    The difference you can say..for interface you have to load the data in and invoke the import program by which it will populate data in oracle apps base table. So you have to write some DML.
    While in API you can simply use PLSQL record type and using that invoke API by which it will populate record in oracle apps base table.
    Keep in mind both ways the validation happens. It is just the approach and some part is just for legacy data conversion.

  • Open Interface Table Sequence

    Hi,
    We are attempting to build a custom interface for receiving transactions and have the following requirements:
    We want to create receiving transaction for the PO line
    We want to create a lot for the items in the inventory
    We have seen that there is the receiving open interface and also the mtl transaction interface that can probably do this together but want to know the tables to populate. Specifically, is there a link between he receiving transaction's line number and the lot that is created for it ?
    Regards.

    As Sam said, there is no API for the table - you need to SQL*Loader or inserts (via SQL script or PL/SQL or whatever).
    We have a number of processes that generate transactions for Projects where we use Stored PL/SQL based concurrent programs which insert records into PA_TRANSACTION_INTERFACE_ALL.

  • Editing the Customer Address using Open Interface

    Hi All,
    The requirement is to edit the address details(postal codes) of the customer using Open Interface and not the APIs.
    They are insisting on using open interface as the Vertex validation(Taxation rules) is taken care only by Open Interface.
    Will need help on this.Kindly advice.

  • R12 - Match Credit Memo in Payables Open Interface

    Hi,
    Is it possible to match a credit memo in the Payables Open Interface and if so how?
    I thought the PRICE_CORRECT% fields on the AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE table may help but they appear to want a PO to match to.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks
    Heath

    For whatever it is worth....
    This is resolved by ledger set up--> Accounting Setups and adding the balancing segments for which the accounts relate to.

  • Customer Item Open Interface

    Does anyone know what the Lock_flag is for the customer item open interface and what it should be set to when creating customer items? It is a required field but it is not explained in the 11.5.9 documentation.

    Hi
    I didn't find this flag in TRM of 11.5.10. In what table did you find it?

  • Open Interface or Public/Private API for Blanket Release

    Hi All,
    I am on Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2
    Is there any open interface available to import the blanket releases in Oracle system. I have searched the meta link and found the doc 160781.1. According to the document there has been a future enhancement request logged by Oracle for this functionality but I am interest if any one know about some private API available to do same job. I will also appreciate if someone can share his project experience in migrating the blanket release to the Oracle.
    Thanks
    Vishalaksha

    I do not think it is available in 11i -- Please see (HOW TO IMPORT BLANKET SALES AGREEMENT AND BLANKET RELEASE. (Doc ID 336086.1)) for details.
    You may log a SR and confirm this with Oracle support.
    Thanks,

    Hi sandeep,
    I prefer to use the API mentioned.
    However this is in Oracle Manufactirung and we dont use that module instead I want to define them in Oracle Purchasing.
    can I still do it in Purchasing using the same API.
    Further as per the document there are 3 entities
    01) Sourcing Rule/Bill of Distribution
    02) Receiving Organization
    03) Shipping Organization
    Do I need to define all 3 in order to make it work?

    Hi,
    I would be very kind of you if you can provide me with a solution to my question below.
    I have a requirement of copying all the cost groups from one inventory org and creating the same cost groups in another inventory org using programmatically. Is there any API or Open interface that can be used to create the cost groups in the new inventory organization? If not can you suggest any other way of fulfilling this requirement?
    I would highly appreciate your help.

  • Importing outside of API / Open Interface supported?  Partial Workflow ?

    Hi there
    I've been asked to find out if importing data not using the API or Open API is supported by Oracle?
    There is a proposal to import orders into Order Management from a legacy database. Some of these orders may be partially through the workflow chain.
    As far as I can see, Oracle doesnt provide an API to import Orders which are part the way through the workflow, so if we were to import them, it would have to be custom code.
    I want to know if this is supported or doable (I'm hoping not!)
    Thanks
    Scott

  • Api or open interface for ABC class

    Hi All,
    Is ther any api or open interface available for mass updating items with new ABC class ?
    Regards,
    Sam

    There is no api. So recently, I had to use the following unsupported way to achieve this.
    There are no other relationships for this table so you can do a straight insert.
    insert into MTL_ABC_ASSIGNMENTS
    (select v.inventory_item_id, g.assignment_group_id,c.abc_class_id,sysdate,11531,sysdate,11531,null,null,null,null
    from MTL_ABC_ASSIGNMENTS_V v,MTL_ABC_ASSIGNMENT_GROUPS g, MTL_ABC_ASSGN_GROUP_CLASSES_V c
    where v.ASSIGNMENT_GROUP_NAME = 'OLD GROUP'
    and g.assignment_group_name='NEW GROUP'
    and c.abc_class_name= substr(v.abc_class_name,1,1) -- the new group is the first character of the old group
    and g.assignment_group_id = c.assignment_group_id
    --and inventory_item_id!=18895
    Hope this helps,

  • Is there an API or Open Interface to convert Price Lists?

    Hi,
    Is there an API or Open Interface to convert Price Lists?
    What are the additional setups needed to do implement Price Lists ?
    Im new to Advnaced Pricing and Order Managment.
    Thanks and Regards,
    MPH

    There is the Price List Setup API (QP_Price_List_PUB.Process_Price_List) which you'll find details for in the Order Management APIs manual and the Price List Bulk Loader which is detailed in the QP user guide plus there's lots of good info and example scripts on My Oracle Support.
    Apart from qualifying your price list header as per your business requirement (in other words, restricting its use to particular OUs, customers, products, order types etc.), in the simplest case the price list itself can be just a simple list of discrete items with their associated prices. However, you may also need to consider:
    <li> Multicurrency - do you want to have multiple price lists, one for each currency, or one price list in a base currency with multicurrency conversions in the background? (the latter being much the easiest to maintain).
    <li> Is your business requirement best served by pricing by discrete inventory item codes? by item categories? by pricing attributes? (this being the mapping of some properties of your data to a named pricing attribute, the value being collected from a lookup, entered at order entry, or derived via custom PL/SQL),
    <li> Consider using secondary price lists if this allows your pricing information to be structured better
    <li> Do you intend to enter a fixed value against each price list line or to calculate a price by way of a dynamic or static formula?

  • APEX and 11.5.10 Payables Open Interface Tables

    Hi,
    Wanted to see if APEX would be a tool that could be used to connect to oracle application interface tables and load data from a spread sheet into the ap_invoices_interface and ap_invoice_lines_interface tables. Once this is done the information could be interfaced into the application.
    Has anyone done this?
    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    Scott,
    Do you have experience in how to populate Oracle eBusiness Suite Open Interface tables with Excel-data using a APEX form/report/process?
    If so, can you give me a clue how to do it? Uploading CSV will not work, because of treating text-fields as numbers. Our item numbers look like numbers, but must be handled as text. Example: 002.112.002
