Oracle B2B and Electronic Invoicing Regulations

Hi!
I'm looking for information how to use Oracle Integration B2B (and/or other Oracle products) to effectivly mange and store Electronic Invoices.
Local regulations require us to preserve not only the Payload (XML for example) but also the digital signature of the message and to store such information for 6 years. (We are not using any EDI providers beetween us and our TP)
Please give me some hints about this topic.
Thank you in advance,

Hi,
As you know it might not be a good idea to keep the 6 year old record in the B2B repository. However we can use the below options
1. Archive the data base regularly
2. Use instance message utility to read (and then archive) the message from the B2B to get the wiremessage(has signed/encrypted message) and business message(actual payload).
HTH
Thanks and Regards,
Prasanna

  • How to set the AS2 fileName for outbound Functional Ack 997 auto generated by Oracle B2B

    Hi Friends,
    How to set the AS2 fileName for outbound Functional Ack 997 auto generated by Oracle B2B.
    External Trading Partner is sending the EDI 856 via AS2 URL to our Oracle B2B Server.
    In the inbound 856 agreement, we have checked the option of Funtional Ack and also Functiona Ack handled by B2B is yes.
    We have the outbound agreement which is sending that Functional ack 997 (auto generated by oracle b2b) and we have specified the Outbound AS2 channel of the Partner.
    997 doc is being sent to external partner using AS2 channel, but the filename is generating as '40101'.
    Please can you let me know how to set the AS2 fileName for outbound Functional Ack 997 auto generated by Oracle B2B.
    Appreciate your valuable answers!!
    Thanks,
    Amirineni

    Amirineni,
    AFAIK, there is no option to set the file name when the 997 is generated automatically by B2B.
    Alternatively, if this is a must requirement, you can generate the FA from backend and  send to B2B with MSG_TYPE =9. In this case, you can set the header with filename (How to set the actionname property in B2B 11g)

  • Oracle B2B 11g question about pulling data from remote TP sftp server

    Hi,
    We would like replace our custom b2b solution with oracle b2b, but without resulting much changes in remote TP side. To do that the following issues are to be resolved.
    1) in the existing custom b2b, host tp is pulling data from remote TP location. How does oracle b2b pull data from remote location using sftp(AS1 1.1)? Oracle document says that by using global listening channel, we can make oracle b2b listen to the sftp server? Is that correct? Is there any sample about how to configure and test it.
    2) For outbound file we would like to preserve the file name. If you use sftp for sending the file out, is it possible to preserve the filename?
    3) Some incoming files which are datafiles , does not have any identification pattern. Is there any other way to identify the document type? For example from which location we are pulling the file can tell us the document type.

    1) in the existing custom b2b, host tp is pulling data from remote TP location. How does oracle b2b pull data from remote location using sftp(AS1 1.1)? Oracle document says that by using global listening channel, we can make oracle b2b listen to the sftp server? Is that correct? Is there any sample about how to configure and test it. I am not sure what do you mean by AS1 1.1 but yes, SFTP is supported in Oracle B2B and if you want to poll a SFTP location, then you need to create a listening channel in Oracle B2B. For creating a listening channel, please refer -
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10229/bb_listen_chan.htm#BAJJICJJ
    2) For outbound file we would like to preserve the file name. If you use sftp for sending the file out, is it possible to preserve the filename?Yes, it is possible. There is a setting "Preserve Filename" in transport protocol parameter of a SFTP channel which should be enabled for this purpose.
    3) Some incoming files which are datafiles , does not have any identification pattern. Is there any other way to identify the document type? For example from which location we are pulling the file can tell us the document type. In case of FTP/FILE/SFTP, file name can be used to pass document type and revision information to Oracle B2B. Please refer "Filename format" setting on the above mentioned link.
    I figured it out from another thread about how to pull the file. I configured the listening channel so that it reads from a remote server using sftpo protocol. And I have given the filename format as %FROM_PARTY%.dat. I am putting a file like TESTBC.dat. TESTBC is the name of the remote TP. B2B is reading the file but, recognizes the document tupe, but says that FromTP null. What is the solution?
    Make sure that TP name is same as what you are giving in filename (cross-check for spelling). You may also try with default naming convention (do not mention anything in Filename format in listening channel configuration) - %FROM_PARTY%_%TIMESTAMP%.dat
    for eg -
    Acme_12345.dat

  • Oracle B2B not picking up Document type and document version from JMS msg

    Hi,
    We have developed guideline and schema for a custom positional flat file using Oracle B2B Document Editor. We were able to creat and deploy the agreement. But when we drop a message on a Queue being listened by Oracle B2B. The document type and version values were empty. We got the following error,

    Error Description Machine Info: (xxxxx) Description: Document protocol identification error.
    Error Level ERROR_LEVEL_COLLABORATION
    Error Severity ERROR

    This is our Java code for testing that drops the message, and I can see the JMS header with these values.
    message.setText(messageText);
    message.setStringProperty("FROM_PARTY", "CT-Sender");
    //message.setStringProperty("FROM_PARTY", "RemoteTP");
    message.setStringProperty("TO_PARTY", "MyCompany");

  • Sending ebms messages between Hermes 2.0 and Oracle B2B

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a italian student and for my master thesis I need to create a comunication between Hermes 2 and Oracle B2B. I just set the trading partnership and the agreement with a custom ebxml document protocol. To create the soa application for the comunication I follow this instruction: http://tomhofte.blogspot.it/2009/11/how-to-configure-ebxml-communication-in.html but when I deploy my application there is this message: "The web service invocation was successful. However, there was no response to the invocation from the server." and there are no errors. Does anyone know another way to develop this application or have some information about this application?
    Any kind of help is welcome, thanks.

    hi,
    I solved the problem! :) the message: : "The web service invocation was successful. However, there was no response to the invocation from the server." still remaiins, however I send a message to hermes B. My mistake is that I follow the second procedure, proposed by the blog I posted in the first message, to create the mediator in jdeveloper. The first procedure instead is correct.
    thanks Anuj Dwivedi, yuor post has been helpful!

  • Code and sign invoices electronically

    I receive invoices in pdf format.  I want to open it, type in an accounting code anywhere on the invoice, electronically sign it, save it and email to our accounting department.  I basically want to change the manual process of printing, coding in ink, signing in ink, scanning and emailing invoices.  I want a simple process that anyone can do.  It has to be as inexpensive as the manual process described above.  Can an inexpensive adobe product do this?

    What is suggested is a feature of Reader 10 and 11, not 9. When you add text and a signature, they are annotations, which are separate from the regular page contents. The process of flattening converts the annotations to regular page contents so they are no longer easy to manipulate or remove.
    If any of the PDFs are secured against changes you won't be able to do what you want, even if you have Acrobat. Acrobat will let you scan to PDF and you could use that copy.

  • Suggestion needed for processing Big Files in Oracle B2B

    Hi,
    We are doing a feasibility study for Using Oracle AS Integration B2B over TIBCO. We are presently using TIBCO for our B2B transactions. Now since my client company planning to Implement Fusion Middleware (Oracle ESB and Oracle BPEL), we are also looking at Oracle AS Integration B2B for B2B transactions (On other words we are planning to replace TIBCO by Oracle Integration B2B if possible).
    I am really concern about one thing that is receiving and processing any "BIG FILE" (15 MB of size) from trading partner.
    Present Scenario: One of our trading partner is sending Invoice documents in a single file and that file size can grow upto 15 MB of size. In our existing scenario when we receive such big files from trading partner (through TIBCO Business Connect - BC), Tibco BC works fine for 1 or 2 files but it crashes once it received multiple files of such size. What exactly happening is Whatever Memory that TIBCO BC is consuming to receive one such big file, are not getting released after processing and as a result TIBCO BC throws "OUT OF MEMORY" error after processing some files.
    My questions:
         1. How robust the Oracle AS Integration B2B is, in terms of processing such big files?
         2. Is there any upper limit in terms of size that Oracle AS Integration B2B can handle for receiving and processing data?
         3. What is the average time required to receive and process such big file? (Lets say we are talking about 15MB of size).
         4. Is there any documentation availble that talks about any such big files through Oracle B2B?
    Please let me know if you need more information.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Processing Electronic Invoices using BPEL/SOA suite.

    Hi,
    We have a requirement in our projects as:
    We need to create Electronic Invoices for all Receivable Transactions for those Customers with whom there is an Agreement to send Invoice information electronically. We need to send the Invoice details(xdf format/XML output) to customers seeking an acknowledgement. While sending the Invoice details to the customer we need to send an attchment with it.
    We are planning to achieve this using Oracle SOA Suite and BPEL Process. Can any one please help us in approaching the design?
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi again
    Well, I would focus on adjusting the update profile rather than using filters for commitments/actuals. You might refer to the documentation in the corresponding IMG activity :
    "Requirements
    As far as possible, exclude only the value types that are at the start of a commitment chain (for example,  purchase requisitions, funds reservations, purchase orders and so on), but not cash-relevant value types, such as invoices or payments.
    When excluding a given value type, you must also exclude all other value types of earlier steps in the commitment chain. Example: If you exclude funds precommitments, then you must at least exclude funds reservations, too.
    Note that you must set the GR/IR update indicator for the value MM invoice receipt in the Customizing settings of your FM update profile (transaction OFUP), if you exclude value type 60 (parked documents), but not value type 54 (invoices)."
    Update profile 300:
    - Value type 54 (Invoices) should be better customized using 'Due date' (this is normally calculated based on payment terms)
    - If you tested a new invoice with an old PO, it is very probable that you have inconsistencies, so errors may appear. If you are in a development system, I think you could leave it like that and prepare a completely new document chain to test the profile changes.
    You can also reconstruct existing old values by using the tools provided in note 189761
    good luck
