Receivables module

Hello,
I work for a telecommunication company that sells phones and scratch cards for prepaid lines. We have the following Oracle applications modules implemented:
Purchasing, Inventory, Payables , Fixed Assets, Cash Management, General Ledger, HR and Payroll. Another Oracle built-in solution is used for customer care and billing.
Finance department is planning to implement the receivable module and integrate it with the other billing and customer care application.
I would like to have more information / help on the following please:
What functionalities exactly can Receivables perform in our business/ Finance cycle?
How will Receivables interface with the other modules implemented?
What are the interface tables of receivables?
Details would be appreciated...

The fact is that for telcos there are many satellite systems involved in billing and collecting (bscs, custom or 3rd party pos...) and Oracle AR is usually implemented to consolidate information as those systems are very specialized for this industry. Receivables can be used for billing (including adjustments, bill receivables, credit memos) and collecting, in between managing customer accounts, all of this allowing integration with other systems via APIs/Open Interface.
If You have GL now, maybe integration is done via journals to recognize revenue, but You don't have customer transaction details, which are located on other systems. You may not have a complete picture of a particular client transactions in one place, but among all of Your different systems, even having redundancy and consistency problems. If You are thinking on implementing AR, it would be a good idea to define how information is to be organized, identifying customers master data source and how to relate them among systems, doing some cleaning and merge as neccessary, so You may reflect their information under their unique corresponding account in AR, having all the information consolidated, as transactions may certainly continue going on on 3rd parties systems.

Dunning Letter Set in Accounts Receivable

Please explan how can i create dunning letter sets for customized customer environment, where can i find funciton to create dunning letter set and how cna i attach with specific customer
i can not find any function link in the accounts receivable responsibility or nor in vision operations
Please reply me as soon as possible

hi,
There is a functionality available in the Oracle Receivables Module.
For Creating the Dunning Letter for the specific customer or for all the customers we need to do some preliminary setups to the profile of the customer,.
Steps:
1) Create a Dunning Letter format. -
Navigate to Receivables->Setup->Dunning Letter->
2) Create a Dunning Set Letter format.
Navigate to Receivables->Setup->Dunning Letter Set-
3) Attach the same to the profile of the customer.
Navigate to Receivables->Customers-> Profile-> by updating here the system will asks you the update all the profiles / Existing profile/ Not to update the profile.
If you want to update to all the profiles then you can choose the appropirate option, otherwise choose the existing profile only.
4) Customers->Query the Customer-> Go to Bill to Site -> Menu Profile-Transaction-> choose the dunning letter over there then it only apply to this customer.
If you need any clarification Please feel free to update in this forum.

File adapter module

Hello experts,
1.
I want to retrieve the value of <b>Target directory</b> for a file <b>reciever</b> communication channel inside module. Is it possible? Any code samples?
2. My audit logs are not getting printed inspite of having a log-configuration.xml in place and proper audit log statements in the code? anybody face similar situations before? These statements are inside a <b>reciever file</b> adapter module.
Amol

Hi Kapil,
file.targetFileName
In General put the following piece of code in sender or receiver adapter and u can get all the parameters specific to that Adapter Type in channel(Configuration) for outbound and inbound channel depending on direction of channel in which module is configured.
String[] chattr=ch.getAttributeNames();// ch is channel object
If u put this in receiver module of file adapter, the string array will hold the names of all the parameters pertaining to Receiver File Adapter(file.targetFileName,file.targetDir,etc). Same procedure holds good for sender channel.
Once u get the parameter name, u can get the value as given by my earlier post in this thread.
Hope this helps.

Sudharshan

Receivables Items and Description Fields

Hi,
We are working in Oracle Applications 11i and I have an inquiry in the Receivabkes module.
From Transactions->Transactions Lines form (Form Name : ARXTWMAI) we have the info of item, description, etc.
As we are using another system to enter direct selling info/invoices, we are not using oracle order management module, and we have no setup regarding the items in oracle receivables module.
So, my question is: can we create a LOV for the two fields ITEM and DESCRIPTION? what are the possible solutions?
Thank you..

Not sure exactly what you are asking..but
A. Item field is not mandatory...so you can leave it blank..if you have no use for it
B. Description field is mandatory....you can enter any free text.....OR pull up LOV ...which will list standard memo line you've setup in AR and select one of the memo lines.

James Kim.

Get Message details in custom adapter module

Hello,
Could you please let me know how can we retrieve following parameters in custom adapter module?
Message size
Message Mapping name
Operation Mapping name
Sender and Receiver Interface names
Thanks!
Regards,
Shweta

Hi Shweta
Not all the information is available directly from the adapter module.
Message size
Retrieve the input stream of the payload, convert the stream to bytes and count the bytes length.
Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
XMLPayload payload = msg.getDocument();
InputStream inStr = payload.getInputStream();
// Convert inStream to bytes
int size = bytes.length;
Sender and Receiver interface names
You can only get Sender interface in sender module, and receiver interface in receiver module. You can get the from the getAction() method.
Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
String interfaceName = msg.getAction().getName();
Operation Mapping name
This is not directly available from the Adapter Framework. One workaround is to access this via the Integration Directory API. With the Interface Determination Service API, you can read the Interface Determination object to get the associated mapping. To do this you have to make a SOAP call to the API.
Message Mapping name
I'm not sure how this can be retrieved as this is only available in ESR.
If the module is on the receiver side, another option is to extract the information during mapping and store it into Dynamic Configuration, then in the receiver module, to extract it from Dynamic Configuration.

Account Receivable

We are finding it difficult to map the following scenario in FI (Accounts
Receivable) module in standard SAP :
1. While doing progress billing to our customer we have to adjust 10 % of
each bill value against advance (down payment) received from customer.
2. Also 5% of each bill value is to be treated as retention money which
will be paid by the customer at the time of full and final settlement after
successful completion of job by TRF.
Pl give me the solution at the earliest. Presently the client is doing such
transactions through JVs which involve lot of manual entries. Pl suggest
whether there is any provision in standard SAP to pass such entries
automatically without manual JVs.

Hi,
I had a similar requirement once and I handled it thru installment payment terms (OBB8 and OBB9). The first installment is for 90% and second is for 10%. On the second (10%) payment term settings in OBB8, we just put a payment block which gets defaulted in the accounting document. At the end of satisfactory performance by vendor, we picked up all the invoices with payment block and with this specific 10% payment term and remove the payment block manually and then pay them.
Hope this helps you! Assign points if it does...
Good luck!

Are you using RAC?
