Anand,
Your question is not clear for me to provide an answer. Basically, the shared entities like item, SOB etc provides the integration of various models and Security, Validation Rules provide the security for the data.
Make your question clear, I will try to answer.

Invoice Matching - Best Business Practice

As far as I know matching invoices to PO or to a receipt is done in AP. A colleague of mine is stating that matching should always be done at the purchasing level and that she has never seen it done in Payables. Other than the user's guide, would anyone know of a white paper that addresses the matching business flow.
We are not usinf Oracle Purchasing, but rather a third party solution (ePlus), and for whatever reason, the matching is going to be done in that solution. Invoices will also be created in that system, and interfaced to AP in order to issue checks.
Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
It depends on the kind of External Software you are using and the purpose of the same.
You cannot Import PO to Payable to perform Matching in Payables unless PO is created in Oracle purchasing. Secondly performing a match between two system, Oracle Payables(Invoice) and PO in (ePlus) is very difficult. Also it depends on the type of item they are using in ePLUS. If it is service oriented Organization, then they would have created only service items which might have Performance Guarantee etc., which can be better reviewed and analysed by an Engineer who is incharge of the PO rather than Accountant performing the PO to Invoice Match
So it is better to identify and analyse the client Business and choose where to perform the PO to Invoice matching.
The choices are as follows
If it is inventory based matching then, Convince the client to use Oracle PO and Inventory Module and make the set up and import data from ePlus to these modules and create Invoice in AP and perform PO to Invoice Matching in Oracle.
If it is service oriented Item it is better to create Invoice in Eplus Itself and perform matching in Eplus and Push the Invoice and PO reference details to Oracle Payables to make payments
Hope this helps

General Oracle Database Performance trouble solving best practice Steps

We use Oracle 11g DB on Windows2008R2 as web application backend DB.
We have peformance trouble in that DB.
I would like to know General Oracle Database Performance trouble solving best practice Steps.
Is there any good general best practice document for performace trouble solving in the internet ?

@Girish Sharma: I disagree with this. Many people say things like your phrase "..first identify the root cause and then move forward" but that is not the first step. Any such technique is nothing more than looking at some report, finding a number that you don't like, and attempting to "fix" it. Some people use that supposedly funny term "compulsive tuning disorder" (first used by Gaja Krishna Vaidyanatha) to describe this approach (also advocated in this topic by @Supriyo Dey). The first step must be to determine what the problem is. Until you know that, all those reports you mentioned (which, remember, require EE plus pack licences) are useless.
@teradata0802, your best practice starts by finding the problem. Is it, for example, that the overnight batch jobs don't finish until lunchtime? A screen takes 10 seconds to refresh, and your target is one second? A report takes half an hour, but you need to run it every five minutes? Determine what business function is causing your client to lose money because it is too slow. Then investigate what it is doing, how, and why. You have to begin by focussing on the problem, not by running database-wide reports..

Creating Oracle Inventory Installation Step Does Not Finish and Hangs at 99% while installing Hyperion 11.1.1.4

Hi Guys,
Creating Oracle Inventory Installation Step Does Not Finish and Hangs at 99% while installing Hyperion 11.1.1.4.I'm running the installer from a local drive and also noticed that the uninstaller files are not created.The installer process has been running for 4+ hours.
Any suggestions/tips?
Thanks
Manoj

hi John,
we left the installer running overnight, but the install process has still not completed.Also it has not created any uninstaller files under the following directory:
E:\APPS\Hyperion\uninstall
what could be the reason for that?
Thanks.

Item import to oracle inventory from legacy system

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to import a very large number of items (close to 500,000) from a legacy system to oracle inventory.
We are using oracle open interface for this. We have designed a temp table for this purpose in order to validate data before moving it to the oracle interface tables. The data to be migrated is present in a separate data base and we need to move this data to Oracle temp table.
Can we use DB link to migrate this kind of data(in terms of volume)? Also what are the best practices that need to be followed while importing data to Oracle inventory? Is there any other way that this can be done?
Please share your thoughts and suggestions on this
Thanks
AM

Hi,
Some times DB link will fail, Please create custom package and try to interface with legacy system for periodically fetching the data into your tables. If the data is bulk please use API instead of Interface tables.
Thanks.

Query Related to Oracle Inventory

I have to prepare a report in Oracle Inventory (R12) where I have to extract below fields
1. Inventory Quantity Sold for previous days and weekly basis etc
2. Quantity Physically on a shelf at a distribution center but commited to end customer
3. Quantity transfeerd from one or more distribution center within distributor
4. Quantity on order with manufacturer but not yet received
5.Quantity Intransit (Intercompany Transfer to the location)
But I am unable to derive those fields. Please help me to build the query to fetch those fields.

should I remove those PGA configuration and make it manually for sort_area,hash_join and workarea policy?Well, it depends on your database.
First, check statspack/awr and see if you are doing "disk sorts", and check your ratio of nested loop joins to hash joins:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_viewing_cpu_ram_io_costs.htm
Manual setting "alter session" commands, is, well, manual, and it would be best to let Oracle take care of it, IMHO.
Hope this helps. . .

Price Adjustment on Order Denied / Unfair Business Practice

I was just notified that I was denied a price adjustment on my order for the Ecobee3 Wireless Thermostat. I had purchased it for 206.99 and a few hours later the price went down to 179.99 which is $27 lower than the price I had bought it for. I was told that the reason for the denial in the price adjustment was because I used a 10% off mover's coupon on my initial order.
If the item was delivered in time, I could have returned the item and re-purchased it with my wife's 10% mover's coupon. It makes no sense that I would have to go through the hassle of doing this instead of having a price adjustment.
Now I see the item is out of stock at my local store and online and I can't even do the return and re-purchase at $157 ($180 less $18 coupon less $5 reward card) due the price not showing in the local BestBuy system.
This definitely seems like a shady business practice. All other major online retailers (Target, Staples, Amazon) would have adjusted the base price of my order and I would have been credited the $24 without a hassle.
Please tell me how I can escalate this issue as I feel mistreated as a loyal BestBuy customer. My order number is {removed per forum guidelines}.

Hello LightC,
Best Buy's Price Match Guarantee and movers coupon are great ways to ensure that you get the best price on products that you'll need to settle in your new dwelling. You ask a great question!
As poprex911 mentioned, the two offers cannot be combined as coupons may not be used with a price match. Per our Price Match Guarantee:
Our Price Match Guarantee does not cover: Any financing offers, bundle offers, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, coupon offers...
I regret that I do not have better news for you, but I hope this helps. Thank you for writing to us.
Sincerely,

note: BPEL keeps it's own "offline" copy of table and database items. A column that is marked not null in the database can be marked as nullable in this area. (if you kmow that a trigger is going to cater for this ..)
One workaround is to use a trigger to provide value rather than use the column default ..

Poor business practices and customer services

Best Buy, that's a LIE! Shoppers beware! I purchased a Sony theatre system from Best Buy, store #251 at 8290 W. Bell Rd, Glendale, Arizona, which was on sale for $249 ($10 less expensive than Walmart), 12-days prior to my wife's birthday. I gave it to her on her birthday and attempted to return it within the 14-days of actually giving it to her, but past the 14 days from original purchase. I brought the item back to the same store and Best Buy told me they won't accept the return and for me to just keep it, they will not accept a return. It was in perfect working condition, but for some reason they said even if it wasn't working I had to give it to their 'Geek Squad' to repair it. Even If it wasn't working I would've wanted a new replacement under 1-year warranty. This was something very strange I never heard of before from any retailer. It was working fine, so this wasn't an issue, but I was puzzled to hear them say something about their replacement policy. Wow, watch out when you buy a product, you never know if it's new, used or repaired! I also contacted customers service by telephone on several occassions and they regurgitated their written policy of no returns past 14-days. I explained that I am a totally disabled veteran with limited income, plus my wife has been battling cancer that spread to her lungs and that she has been undergoing chemotherapy, plus she was hospitalized three days the week prior and two days the next week and several additional times since, due to the chemo treatments. I explained to them I believe they should be flexible and compassionate, use good will and good faith to accept our return because of these circumstances beyond our control. I asked them, what is someone to do when they purchase an item, that's on sale, in advance of someone's birthday, Christmas, anniversary, wedding, etc., and it's past the 14-day return policy and they try to return it. I received no answer. After requesting to speak with a supervisor and explaining all this information and requesting they allow us to return the item, Best Buy stopped all communication with us! We haven't heard a word from them and we are now left with the Sony system we cannot use. They show total disregard for both my wife's and me and totally lack of customer service and appreciation in the entire matter. They seem to be only concerned with the bottom line, greed and Money! I'm totally disgusted with their policies and business practices. They don't care about the customer, only the bottom line, lining their pockets with our hard earned money! I may have saved $10 at Best Buys price of $249 versus Walmarts price of $259, but it cost us $270 for a product that is useless to us, just becuse they will not allow us to return the item. cheaper doesn't mean BEST BUY! I never had a problems returning any items to Walmart!!!

Hello Ken1,
I was very disheartened to read of your wife's condition and I my best wishes go out to her. I also wish to thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country. I was further dismayed to read that your intended gift of the home theater system didn't meet your needs and that you weren't able to return it as expected. Certainly causing you aggravation was never our goal.
As published on your original receipt, our website, and posted in your local Best Buy store, our Return & Exchange Promise allows for a return or exchange of a product within 15 days of purchase (30 days for My Best Buy Elite members and 45 days for Elite Plus members). Outside of this time frame, we are unable to offer a return or exchange.
I'm grateful that you took the time to write to us and for your feed back on our Return & Exchange Promise.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

WBS element does not belong to business area(Message No: CJ067)

Hi All,
While doing Billing through DP91 by giving the Sales Order No.,
it is giving the error "WBS element *****does not belong to business area** ".
The configuration between Business Area and Plant in Enterprise Structure level is fine.
Do let us know anything else need to be done to resolve the same.
Needless to say that helpful replies will be awarded points.
Best Wishes & Regards,
Raj Kumar Reddy.

Hi Chandra,
Business Area was given both in CJ20N and Sales Order level.
Also both these business areas are same.
To be more clear:
Say in the error it has mentioned the business area as 'X'.
But in Sales Order and Project level, 'Y' has been maintained.
System is throwing 'X' error, because the same is maintained under Cost Center level.
I cannot change the business area in Cost Center to 'Y' because of my business restrictions.
Regards.,

Best Backup Practice for Solaris 10 running Zones

What is the best practice for backing up a solaris 10 server with zones?
I have solaris 10 installed here on a v240 running 4 zones. All services run off the local zones. We use Veritas backup exec 9, and I have the solaris agent. Should I backup the Data on each of the zones as if they were their own system , or should I only run the backup exec agent on the global zone?
It would make sence to just backup from the global zone, as it is only one system to backup.
We are working on our backup procedures now, and I want to make sure that we are doing this the best way possible.
any thoughts?

Hey there,
Have a look at this excellent guide. I think that you may find what you need here. If not drop an email back. To begin with you need an extra disk(s) since you will mirror your data. This is sort of a pre-requisite.
Good luck,
Pierre
