R12 PO Account Generator

Hi,
Can someone help me understand how the PO Account Generator WF works in R12. I have customized this WF in 11.5.10 for generating the Expense Charge Account.
In R12, it gives me an error "PO Accrual Account should be entered" whenever we enter Project related po.
I did customize the Build Expense Accrual Account process. But I couldn't monitor the WF in WF Administrator responsibility and also it is not getting the correct Accrual Account.
We do have the Default Accrual Account set up in Purchasing Options. It is not either populated from the default one.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
What I would advice you to do (if you did not do this...) is:
- Take the seeded R12 AG WF and see if this creates the charge and accrual account without error
- If this works do the Charge Account changes you want to make in a copy of the seeded R12 WF definition
Regards,
Marcel

PO Account Generator.

Hello,
I have customized the PO Account Generator/Requisition Account Generator workflow in 11i. We have the similar requirement in R12,
is there any other way that we could implement the same requirement for building the charge account on PO/Req ?
I have heard about Sub Ledger Accounting Engine, but I am not sure how it can be used to implement the account generation on PO/REQ.
Over View on Requirement:-
Requirement is to generate different segment values for charge account on the basis of Project , Tasks, Expenditure used on the PO/REQ.
If anybody has idea on the same please share the related documents or implementation approach.
Thanks in Advance.

R12 - GL - Accounts ?

Hello Members,
To create Ledger in R12 in Accounting Setup there is a Requirement for -> Retained Earning Account . From where do I get this Account Value ?
I am guessing accounts needs to Generated. Where/How do we Generate accounts in R12 ?
Thanks

Before you come to setting up the ledger, you must have done the following:
1. Compiled the accounting flexfield
2. Create a value in the value set attached to naturual account segment. In here you qualify the value as Retained Earnings Account.
3. And ofcourse you need to setup values in each of the segments of your accounting flexfield so that you can create a accounting combination.
4. Now if you have enabled dynamic combination creation enabled, you can create combination while creating ledger. If not navigate to the code combinations screen and create the code combination and assign choose the same while creating the ledger.
Thanks

Asset Books - Account Generator Defaults

Hi all.
I am learning how to set up R12 assets.
I am in the process of creating an asset book.
On the natural accounts tab there is a required entry of Account Generator Defaults.
I think that this basically auto fills in the segments, apart from the actual account numbers?
Any ideas?
Thanks...

Overview of the Account Generator
Applications need to construct Accounting Flexfield combinations automatically for various purposes.
The Account Generator feature uses Oracle Workflow technology to provide applications with the ability to construct key flexfield combinations automatically using customized construction criteria. Each site can customize how they want to build key flexfield combinations.
Benefits of the Account Generator using Oracle Workflow
Automatic construction of key flexfield combinations speeds users' data entry.
Automatic construction of key flexfield combinations improves accuracy of data entry because users do not need to determine what key flexfield combination to enter.

Query about Inventory Cost of Goods Sold Account Generator WF Customization

Hi
We are trying to Customize the 'Inventory Cost of Goods Sold Account Generator' workflow for our client in Oracle Applications 11.5.10 instance.
We have successfully uploaded the modified workflow and changed the GL Account Generator Process to point to the Custom Workflow.
Database is bounced after this change, but the changes are not taking effect.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
You shouldn't need to bounce the database for any changes to take affect (although if you were experiencing the "existing state of the packages has been discarded" error then it would clear that).
Switch on debugging so that the workflow is persisted rather than being run in forced synchronous mode, and then see what route the process is taking. If you open the workflow from the database via workflow builder, are you seeing the correct version?

Help Required in : PO Account generator workflow customization.

Hi All,
I am new to workflow, I want to customize PO account generator workflow in 11i. I need to build the logic to populate charge-account on PO.
I have identified the process in PO Account generator workflow but I am not sure whether I should pick the same process for modification or create new process.
As I don't want if any upgrade patch applied , it will overwrite modified standard process. I have read articles on preserving customizations but couldn't get much from it, they are very confusing.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Asif,
Thanks for the reply.
I referred the links mentioned by you, but couldn't find anything relevant to re-triggering of Account Generator workflow.
The customizations I did are working fine and is triggering the workflow. But my Question is, what are the circumstances that re-trigger the Account Generator for a given Purchase Order.
To elaborate, say for instance I have created a PO for PO category 'Electrical Equipments' furnishing all other details and charge account is generated for this category, and the PO is saved. Now I come back and change the PO category to 'Medical Equipments' for the same PO, retaining all the other info same.
So here, will the Account generator be re-triggered to generate different charge account?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Nivedana

How to get Asset Id in FA Account Generator

Hi all,
I've defined a DFF on Asset which I use for a segment in account generator. I looked at FA Account generator attributes, I did not find any attributes for fetching Asset Id.
Please let me know if it can be done.
Thanks
Kishore

you can use the DISTRIBUTION_ID attribute to get the ASSET_ID value in the account generator code that you create
For e.g. v_disid := apps.wf_engine.getitemattrnumber( itemtype => itemtype
,itemkey => itemkey
,aname => 'DISTRIBUTION_ID'); and use this
select asset_id
into v_astid
from fa_distribution_history
where distribution_id = v_disid

Account Generator, and AME

Hi,
2 questions-
1.Is it possible to use more than one account generator process for a particular accounting flexfield structure? I have attached the process 'Generate Default Accounts' to the item type 'PO Requisition Account Generator', however is there any other way to use a different process?
2.Is it possible to use AME in a few cases, and the Approval workflow for the other cases in the Requisition approval process, based on the Requisition document set up? If yes, how?
thanks!

For your second question,
refer to How To Setup And Use AME For Purchase Requisition Approvals [ID 434143.1]

Account Generator within AP

Account Generator workflows are available in FA, PA, and PO to derive invoice distribution line account information for AP Invoices created from these feeder systems. We would like to use an Account Generator like workflow to derive the accounting for invoices entered within AP (via either the Invoice Gateway or Workbench forms). Has anyone done something like this? If not, does anyone have ideas on how to do?

Would anyone have example code of how to call the Project Supplier Invoice Account Generator (PAAPINVW) from the AP custom pll?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Account Generator for Projects

I need to customize Account Generator for Documents (PO,REQ & Invoice) which are linked to Projects.
So we zeroed in on below Workflows
1. PO Account Generator
2. PO Requisition Account Generator
3. Project Supplier Invoice Account Generation
For 1, PO Account Generator, we found the node under Process "Generate Default Charge Account" where it's checking for Destination Type, & if it's Expense then it's checking if PO is Project Based. Now my question is
Q1.1 --> Can PO be of Inventory or Shop floor & still have Project associated with it. If yes, then how can we do the customization of Charge account for PO's based on Project.
For 2,we found the node "Build Expense Project Charge Account" under Process "Build Expense Charge Account".
Q2.1 --> Is it where we need to Put the customization for Project related requisitions. Again this process is for Destination Type of Expense. So again same question under 1.1 will answer the second part of question for PO Requisition Account Generator
For 3, as of now I am very much confused on this workflow where to put the customization for Project related Invoices.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Much
Sachin

We were able to finally confirm that we are doing the customization on right node.
Now we are stuck as we are being asked that we only need to call standard packages for customization, now if Account is setup as Lookup Set on Oracle Projects, then we have found that by calling PA_ACC_GEN_WF_PKG.PA_SEG_LOOKUP_SET_VALUE we'll be able to derive the value for the segment. But what will happen to Rules & Functions defined in Oracle Projects. How they can play the role for customizing Account Generator.
Any help. Let me know if I can explain in more detail.
Thanks

Po requisition account generator workflwo help

HI
we have to customize the requisition account generator workflow totally based on some conditions.
we have 8 acc felx field segments.
My question is ..
1. Do i just created 8 functions for all the 8 segments and join them in series.
will workflow automatically assign the first function value to the first segment?
if not how do i specify the segment which I need to be populated from that fucntion
please let me know the working of this workflow as well.
right now
my model is 8 fucntions ina row.
all get values from pl sql functions based on some conditions.
I am assuming workflow will populate first segment from first function , then go to second function and populate the second segment
is that right?
please help me out there..thanks

Hi PS,
You may consider using SLA instead of Account Generator.

PO Requisition Account Generator Customization

Hi,
We want to customize the PO Requisition Account Code generator seeded workflow.Please let me know which is the way to go about it so that it doesnt get overwritten by Patches or Upgrades.
Thanks,
Ramendra.

Hi Ramendra,
here is suggestion that I think will work although I am not a WF person.
Copy the Seeded WF to a customized WF-definition and make your changes and upload the customized flow to the system.
Then in Setup > Flexfields > Key >Accounts you assign you customized account Generator wf to the Item Type 'PO Account Generator' and 'PO Requisition Account Generator'.
This way the application points towards the customized WF process, which you renamed and therefore should not be overwritten at Patch/Upgrade. Note though that any patch containing the WF-Defs could potential hold a change that you would want to migrate into your customized versions.
