Order Lines Descriptive Flexfield

We import our orders from an external system. We have many additional attributes to store at the order line level. We have already used all 20 Segments on the Additional Line Information Descriptive Flexfield but we still have more attributes to store.
Is there somewhere else we can store these values? On another DFF or some other solution.?

You can create a custom table with the order_line_id as the primary key. And you can store your additional data in columns of this table.
The data won't be visible in the seeded OE form. You will have to write a custom screen that shows data. It will be very easy to create a ZOOM from the OE screens that opens your custom form to show data for a given order line.
There are global_attribute fields that are typically used by Oracle for localizations. If you do not have any localizations, you can try using them.
Hope this answers your question

Updating PO Lines Descriptive Flexfield

We're currently still on R11.5.10.2 and we're customizing the Purchase Orders form by adding an option under the Tools menu to mass update several different fields. One of the fields happens to be a descriptive flexfield on the PO line. We're able to update the DFF, but the actual updated value doesn't seem to be reflected/displayed after we perform the update. If we cursor and tab to the DFF and open it up, it actually has the updated value, but when we close the DFF field, it still displays the old value. We've tried different calls to see if we can refresh the displaying of DFF, but no luck. How can we customize to accomplish this in the form?

It's a straight update to the base table from the PO form. We're just assigning the values to the DFF (in this case, ATTRIBUTE1) and let the form update the record. When we assign the value to the ATTRIBUTE1 field, we cannot see this change right away. If we tab to the DFF, the latest value is there. And when we tab out of it, the latest value is not being reflected. In other words, the DFF is not displaying the latest value. It is only after you save the data that it displays the updated value. I was hoping that there may be some API related call to DFF that we can make to display the change right away before the data is saved, but I'm not able to get this to work within the form.

Descriptive flexfield for different purchase order types

Hi,
Can i have a descriptive flexfield for different purchase order types?
Scenario : I have two purchase order types
1. Blanket : done from req--> auto create --> standard PO
2. Standard --> Direct PO
Regards
846691

You can use darpan77's suggestion for context sensitive DFF. See http://oracle.anilpassi.com/context-sensitive-descriptive-flexfields.html for an example.
However, both options you mentioned talk about standard po. Is the difference in how they are generated? (One is manual and the other is autocreated?)

Personalization: can I reference an item value (like :LINE.ORDERED_QUANTITY) on a different order line?

I am constructing a forms personalization for the "Sales Orders" form. I would like to be able to reference item values on order lines other than the current line. Is this possible?
Thanks, Bill

Hi,
(1) From where you have defined the maximum quantity ?
(2) can you provide the personalization rules & functions you have set ?
Morever, regd. DFF, you review the following links.

Descriptive Flexfield transfer from Requisition (iProcurement) to PO

Can a descriptive flexfield be transferred from iProcurement (requisition lines) to Purchase Order (lines)?
I am fairly new to Oracle EBS and this is my first attempt to set up descriptive flexfields. We want the user to populate the field while creating the requisition and would like that value to transfer to the purchase order. (we are on 11i)
Is this possible? Is there an option or setting that I need to be aware of?
Thank you!

I don't think that is possible.
Oracle has the functionality to transfer Req. Distribution DFF to PO Distribution DFF. But it does not work for Req Header or Req Line DFF.
Hope this helps,

AR Invoice Presentation / Invoice Lines diff than Sales Order Lines

Hi,
Due to business rules I got the following requirement, I'd like to get advice or second opinions please:
Instead of showing 200 lines we want to show 1 line in the invoice summarizing the job done.
The requirement is:
The invoice should summarize the Order Lines, meaning that we want to have different lines in the invoice than those in the orders composing the invoice. The total amounts must equal between both, the invoice and the orders lines been invoiced.
For example:
We need to create an Invoice for 2 Sales orders with 10 lines each, each line for $1 usd.
The invoice could be in any of these situations:
- Having only one line composing the 2 orders. The invoiced amount is $20.
- Having 2 lines composing the 2 orders. The invoiced amount is $20 ($10 line 1, $10 line 2)
The description on the invoice lines must be completly open.
Internaly, the link/reference between the invoice line and the order line(s) composing it must be kept.
This must work with 1 or more Sales Orders (partial or complete)
Can be done via autoinvoice or not. (The user is able to compose and reference the invoice manually)
¿Is there already something done that I can use? Just point me on one direction and I'd be happy to investigate.
I already have 1 or 2 ideas of how to achieve this without customizing at all.
Just wanted to check and get advice and second opinions on this before taking a decision.
Technical Spec:
Oracle EBS 11i (11.5.10.2)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0
Thanks in advance.

In Purchase Order Line item Maintaining Serial Numbers for Material Codes

Dear Gurus,
We have a business process in legacy system for Purchase Order like in PO line item, Material code with description, Quantity, unit of Measurement, Serial Number Start and Serial Number End is maintained, for example for Material code when we enter the data AXMLN00001 in Serial Number Start column, if the Qty 500 is maintained, by default system will calculate AXMLN00500 in Serial Number End column.
We understand that in standard SAP we donu2019t have this option of maintaining Serial Number Start and End in Purchase order Line item. Please let us know how this can be mapped and is it advisable to create two Z fields in EKPO table or else can we make any development.
Suppose if this is not possible in SAP for PO then in Banks if we want to place a order for Cheque books how we can maintain Start and End Serial Numbers to print in cheque books.
Also client is not agreeing to maintain manually Serial numbers in item text.
regards,
Dhanu

Aamir,
When the PO Item was created say for example Material had Valuation category "Y" and latter you wanted to change the category to "Y". Now system would have check for all open PO's etc...based on this you must have set Deletion Indicator to this Line Item to allow valuation category change in material master. Now when this Item got created in the table level (EKPO), system updates the valuation category "Y". Currently this valuation category is not active so it would not allow you to perform removal of deletion indicator as program cannot automatically nor you have an option to manually update the valuation category to this Item.

Prasobh

Oracle EBS GL Journal Line Description not being extracted by ETC

It seems that the ETL for Oracle EBS (R12) includes the JE Batch Name, the JE Header Name/Description, and the JE Line Number. However, it does not include the JE Line Description. We have been able to meet all of our requirements based on out-of-the-box ETL and are trying to avoid customization. Has anyone run into this issue and has any customized the ETL to accomodate the need.

yes most of the times there are alot of customizations ...
If you are doing any customization to out of the box ETL job then you will do that in custom folders such as custom_sde or custom_sil. Now your modified etl job is in a new Informatica folder in order for this new etl job to run by DAC you need to create a new folder in DAC with the same name as in informatica and associate it with corresponding informatica folder.
Please refer to the DAC Guide Section 5 for more step by step information !!
Hope this helps !!

Thanks Sandeep,
Can you tell me what values does this context field hold? Someone have defined it in the location you specified but whats the value which it holds? For example In the DFF "Add'l Periods of Service Information" the Reference Field was defined as "C_LEGISLATION_CODE". Whats it doing exactly over here?

Descriptive flexfield balance needed

Hello
We are using R12 Apps
my problem is as follows:
Suppose there are 3 segments in a descriptive flexfield(DFF) and all contain numbers in it or you can say display certain amounts
Now in the fourth segment that i create in the same DFF, i need to display the total sum for the amounts in the first three DFF`s..is that possible
Pleasee let me know
Thanks
Muhammed

I don't think that is possible.
Oracle has the functionality to transfer Req. Distribution DFF to PO Distribution DFF. But it does not work for Req Header or Req Line DFF.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

No concatenated descriptive flexfield value to validate.

After adding another Descriptive Flexfield, pointing to ATTRIBUTE19 in GL JE LINES ('Enter Journals:Lines'), the ADI Templates are giving me Warnings as 'No concatenated descriptive flexfield value to validate.', with a YELLOW face on all the ADI rows.
It never gave any kind of Warning before these changes (Adding / Enabling ATTRIBUTE19 length 50 in the Descriptive Flex field of GL Lines ).
Users are not happy with these messages.
Please advice me why am I getting the error and what I can do to fix this Warning.
Thank you so much,
Kiran Kesari

Hi Nel,
use a Pair type value set to achieve this. This value set should be attached to both the DFF Item Low and DFF Item High DFF attributes.
You can refer to seeded value set CST_SRS_ITEM_PAIR.
For this Pair value set the functions are define dlike this:
Event: Edit
Function
FND POPIDR CODE="MSTK" APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV"
VALIDATE="NONE" SEG=:!VALUE NAVIGATE="!DIR" REQUIRED="N"
ALLOWNULLS="Y"
Event: Validate
Function
FND VALIDR CODE="MSTK" APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV"
VALIDATE="NONE" SEG=:!VALUE REQUIRED="N" ALLOWNULLS="Y"
Hope this helps!
