Procurement and Spend in R12
Hi all,
We have installed OBIA 7.9.6 and informatica 8.6.1 in windows.
We sucessfully full loaded the projects module.Now we are trying full load for procurement.But the problem is its running almost 15 hours after sucessfully finishing 115 tasks.
I dont know the exact problem.Can anyone please guide me to identify the problem?
Thnx
In DAC sort the complete or running tasks by time in the lower part of DAC when you select tasks sub tab. thos will hel pyou see that tasks take the longest, then look for their log and see what SQL is running then have DBA look at the SQL level performance.

Issue with OOTB Procurement and Spend report on top of W_AP_INV_DIST_F
We are implementing OBIEE 11g on top of EBS R12. Observed today that AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBURIONS_ALL has a lot of records with PO_DISTRIBUTION_ID as NULL (This is expected as this table holds not only PO but also Expense tyoe invoices). The mapping used to populate W_AP_INV_DIST_F (SDE_ORA_APInvoiceDistributionFact) uses the PO_Distribution_ID to derive Product_ID. Thus, in W_AP_INV_DIST_F a lot of lines exist with PRODUCT_WID of NULL (which is also understable).
My question is - In Procurement and Spend OOTB reports (for ex - Spend by Top Categories) , it is showing all records from W_AP_INV_DIST (and not filtering to Spend_Type of "PO Matched"). Thus, most of the records is going into the "Unspecified" bucket.
Any thoughts on why the OOTB report would work like that (This is affecting any OOTB report that is built on top of W_AP_INV_DIST_F and involves products or product categories)?Out of curiosity, why do you only maintain 13 months of history in PeopleSoft? I have never heard of this. Dont the business users want to track PeopleSoft before 13 months? With regard to your question, given you are only able to load 13 months on a full load and this is impacting the links to the correct suppliers, you can consider keeping a refresh date on the tasks that load the W_SUPPLIER_D tables. This can prevent reload for the supplier dimension. However, I am not sure how you intend to handle the other dimensions as I assume you will have the same issue. If you only have 13 months of history, BI Apps will only load 13 months of history on a full load. Also for the SCD dimensions, there should be a CURRENT_FLAG that is set to Y only for the current record and there should still be a link to the previous records where CURRENT_FLG = N. As long as your SCD is working fine, and you can prevent the reload of supplier dimension via the refresh date changes, it may work. I would advise your PeopleSoft team to maintain history..esp if they want to take advantage of Analytics and trend analysis.

Csv files for OBIA procurement and spend analytics
hi,
which csv files we need to configure in order to install OBIA 7.9.6.3 procurement and spend analytic for EBS R12 1 3 as source?
In documentation, oracle given set of files for 11i & R12? do we need to configure csv files for both version ???
As per documentation,counter files for , CSV files req for source as 11i are not there in R12???
please guide???Hi,
To be safe, configure all of the domain value files documented in the section http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/bia.7963/e19039/configsupplychain.htm#CACIEBBH
Do this regardless of whether they state 11i or R12 in the filename. Some of the files have not changed from 11i adapters, so the filenames have not been updated e.g. domainValues_Employee_Expense_Type_ora11i.csv

Hi,
Wat are dashbords required for Procurment and spend analysis only?
ThanxIf you want to see the out of box dashboards and reports for Procurement and Spend, then you can look at Product Guide, it lists all the dashboards and sample reports. However product guide is not available via Metalink3 or oracle site, you can try requesting it via your account representative for Oracle.

Key differences in OBI Apps Spend Procurement and Spend Classification
Hi,
Can someone please explain the key differences in OBI Apps Spend Procurement and Spend Classification version 7.9.6.2 vs. version 7.9.6.3?
Regards
VanajaThere doesnt seem to be much diferences in terms of functionality or features. If you check the release notes..there are a few differences in the 7963 release related to bugs or packaging:
If this is helpful or correct, please mark the response as correct or helpful.
Here are some of the sections from the release notes:
Section 1.3.28, "Currency Conversion Not Done in Purchase Agreement for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics"
*1.3.32 'Days Payables Outstanding' and 'AP Turnover' Columns Are Missing*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics without implementing Financial Analytics.
*1.3.43 Oracle EBS 12.1.3 - Contract Lifecycle Management Impact on Oracle BI Applications Release 7.9.6.3*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics for E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.3 along with Feature Pack for Oracle Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) for Public Sector. CLM Feature Pack is deployed as an add-on to Oracle EBS 12.1.3 for delivering an integrated acquisition management solution for federal government procurement.
CLM functionality has introduced changes to the Oracle EBS data model that affects data extraction and loading for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. Customers with Oracle EBS 12.1.3 and the CLM feature pack must apply additional filters to exclude CLM records and to ensure that it does not interfere with V7.9.6.3 Procurement and Spend Analytics functionality.
Workaround
No work-around is available for this issue.
*1.3.56 EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT Not Pulled From AP_CHECKS_ALL.CHECK_DATE for Oracle E-Business Suite*This issue affects Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. The measure 'Expense Reimbursement Cycle Time' as shipped with this release does not work in the subject area Employee Expenses – Overview. The measure uses the column EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT_WID in the fact table W_EXPENSE_F fact, but this column is sourced from AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_HEADERS_ALL.EXPENSE_LAST_STATUS_DATE during ETL.
Workaround
This issue is addressed by Oracle E-Business Suite patch 10038359. -
OBIA 7.9.6.4 all report for Procurement and Spend show same row of dat
Hi,
I have created an OBIA 7.9.6.4 environment. Loading data from Vision Environment of EBS provided by oracle. The issue I am facing after loading data when i check the report all the reports show same data across all rows. please find screen shot below
Thanks in Advance
LalchandHi,
Unable to past the screenshot on the forums message box. I have checked the filters and other stuff. Let me explain with an example wht is happening.
For example I have a report Spend Trends by Items, where I have Year, Spend, Year Ago Spend, Chg Year ago Spend, Change due to price, Change due to quantity, etc.. columns
This report is showing different years but for rest of the columns it is showing of total of all the year. Like for year 2003, 2004,2005 etc we spend 10,20,30 receptively. so report should show it as 2003 - 10,2004 - 20 & 2004 -30.
But it is right now showing like 2003 - spend 60, 2004 - spend 60 & 2005 - spend 60.
Thanks

My friend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the US store and spend most of it with 11¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't. iTunes keeps saying "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.*
You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.

Link between XLA_AE_LINES and AP_INVOICES_ALL in R12
Good day,
Table AP_AE_LINES_ALL was replaced with XLA_AE_LINES in R12. There used to be a direct link in R11 between AP_AE_LINES_ALL and AP_INVOICES_ALL. Does anybody know what the link is between XLA_AE_LINES and AP_INVOICES_ALL in R12?
Thanks for your help.Post it in Oracle Application related forum.

FM - Budget check at the time of procurement and at the time of Issue
Hi
For a Material there is a budget for a procurement ( Check should happen at the time of procurement and a seperate budget for consumption ( Check should happen at the time of issue).How can I map this in FM- BCS.I am thinking of creating two commitmen items one for Procurement , to be derived thorugh matl grp at the time of PR / PO and One commitment item for consumption to be derived through consumption GL . Does it work , any comments?
Thanks in advance
ChrisYes you are right , I have to make to sure stock budget doesn't get credited.
If you remember in one of my other threads, i wanted to derive commitment item from Matl grp, it was for this purpose. I will derive commitment through matl group at the time of procurement / GR etc and assign a dummy commitment item to stock a/cs. Where as i will derive a consumption commiment item from consumption GLs.
Thank you

What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
Hi Friends
What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
Regards
Chinna KrishnaHi Chinna
Here are my two cents on this questions
1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
- Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
- Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
- Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
- Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
Its a long answer and hope it helps you.

Self service procurement and plan driven procurement in classic scenario
hai friends,
i have configured self service procurement and now i am configuring plan driven procurement in classic scenario.my doubt is suppose a shopping cart is created and placed in a sourcing application of the professional buyer.And assume he accomplished sourcing activity and created purchase order .Now purchase order is created locally or in the backed.i am using classic scenario ,now can u tell where the purchase order is located? if i want to place that particular purchase order in SRM it self what will i do? thanks in advance.Hi Chandra
before going to select Business scenario (self service, plan driven..etc), you must freeze the technical scenario. Depends upon your technical scenario, your PO will be created .
Where PO is created it is called leading system. It is SAP standard.
If you were selected Classic- Po created in R/3.- R/3 is a leading system .
if you were select ECS- > PO will created in SRM and Copy also will be created in R/3 system. In EBP only you can edit the PO not in r/3. here SRM is a Leading system.

Same vendor for Procurement and Services
Hi,
How to use the same vendor code for Both Procurement and External Services, to trigger different pricing procedures.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance,
njs.Hi,
Pricing procedure for Procurement depends on :
1. Schema Groups: Vendor
2. Schema Groups for Purchasing Organizations
System will look for the combination for both the schema group.
Pricing procedure for External service depends on :
1. Document category -- e.g. - RFQ , Pr or PO
2. Document type --- NB , UB
