SRM 5.0 Invoice XML format

we are trying to send Invoice from the suppliers to SRM system using XI. We have found the XI message type and generated XML based on the fields that we are aware of. But when we send it to SRM,it creates a credit note. When we tried to post the credit note, it comes with an error "At least one PO reference is incorrect" and "No tax amount possible for non-taxable invoice". We have populated all the known fields. have any one experienced this issue?. Do anybody have the invoice format with some explainations for the tags or examples?
Your help will be much appreciated.
Regards

Even if this thread is realy old...
If you are using the extended Classic scenario you will never be able to create a invoice. There is an error in the source-code. We have modified our system, since then it works like a charm... We have opened an oss-call, so there should be a solution soon...

Incorrect XML format for outbound binding

Hi,
I am in the process of configuring a scenario where we are sending PO's from SRM to XI in XML format and later we want these PO's in XML format to be sent to a vendor. I am able to send the XML from SRM to XI, but I get the following error message (probably while sending the XML to the external application):
Incorrect XML format for outbound binding , , NO_TO_SERVICE_NAME, MI_Order_CreateOrChangeVendorView_In, urn:poscenario:srm:xi:vendor

Hi Tanja,
Now I tried to use the XI channel and I become the same problems. Maybe me configure of the "Receiver Agreement" is wrong.
sender-service      A1CLNT100
receiver-service    A2CLNT100
receiver-Interface: ORDERS.ORDERS05
namespace:          urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages
communication channel : IDOC
But without the IDOC-channel I become this error message:
OUTBOUND_BINDING_NOT_FOUND --- no Receiver Agreement found

Customer Invoice in XML format

Hi,
One of our Customers ask us, if we can generate his invoices in xml format and send him.
How we can make it ?
We create invoices with vf01 or fb70.
I now with EDI/Idoc and convert over a subsystem it is possible. But we don't work with inbound or outbound EDI messages.
Maybe sombody have implemented already a similar solution.
Thanks for you help

Hello,
If you want to send an Invoice in XML instead of a print/fax output, You can check for XSF output in SMARTFORMS.
Hope this helps you.

SRM Classic Scenario & Invoicing Service Purchase Orders through SUS

Hi everyone,
I hope I am able to provide enough information to ask this question. We are running SRM Classic Scenario in addition to SUS. We would like to be able to have our Vendors login to SUS and Invoice us. However, we are being told that in order to do this we will need to install EHP4. We are currently running ECC 6. Could someone help me understand what it is exactly that we are not able to do this as is? I understand that we are able to configure our current system setup to process Material related Invoices but not Services related invoices.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Jellis,
Your vendors can send invoice from SUS but only for material POs (As you are not running ECC 6 with Ehp 4)
If you want the vendors to send you invoice for service POs also, then you need to go with Ehp 4 as service POs are not supported in SUS using IDOC technology. They need to be in XML format only.

Nikhil

[PENTAHO] export design into xml format

Hi all,
I wonder if it's possible to create a design with reportDesigner, export the design to an xml format and then use this xml format file to create a report. For example, in the HelloWorld demo you have to create the necessary code to make a report. However, in the invoice demo you have an xml file in wich you have the structure description of the report and you can use it to make the report without writing all the code.
Thanks a lot!

my questionWhat question?
This is why I wrote my question inWhat question?
So, Does anyone knows the answer to my question?What question?
There is no question in what you have posted.
If your question is about reportDesigner, whatever that is, this is the wrong forum and the wrong site.

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Concurrent request submission displays Output in xml format ?

Hi ,
I am submitting a concurrent request from workflow which is an xml publisher report . my problem when the program is run individually it displays the output correctly in rtf format but when the same request is submitted from worklfow the output comes in xml format ?
What could be the problem ?
I am using the standard submission "FND_WF_STANDARD.SUBMITCONCPROGRAM " program and assigning the values directly to it . the submission activity is working fine but the output comes as mentioned above.
Regards,
Skg

Kiran ,
I am not using fnd_request.submit request coc I don't need to capture the user information for my workflow .
I am only using the standard " FND_WF_STANDARD.SUBMITCONCPROGRAM " . this Package only submits the concurrent program through workflow in a function.
no need of backend programming.
My job is to submit and move to the next function . the output will be determined via custom profile option.
now, for this package I am directly assigning the values like appshort name , prog shrt name , and parameter.
there is no mention of layouts anywhere in the standard workflow package .
its very urgent for me friend.

How can I convert IDoc in XML format w/DTD into a string?

I want to send by e-mail outbound IDoc in XML format with its document type definition (DTD).
I want to be able to get the same output result into a string than the XML file IDoc port type with DTD activated. I have created a FM (based on SAP "OWN_FUNCTION") assigned to an IDoc port of type ABAP-PI that executes the following processing steps:
1-Extract outbound IDoc information to get the sender & recipient mail addresses (EDP13 / EDIPHONE tables).
2-Convert & Transform IDoc data into XML string using FM IDX_IDOC_TO_XML.
3-Prepare and send e-mail with XML attachement using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
I cand generate the e-mail with the XML file attachement but FM IDX_IDOC_TO_XML does not convert the IDoc with proper formating and DTD.
What should I use to accomplish the IDoc conversion to XML w/DTD into a string?
Should I use XSLT tools ?
How does that work?
Thank you
Carl

Use decimal string to number
Specifically, you can define a constant with a different datatype on the input on the lower left if you need a different datatype (e.g. U8, I64, DBL, etc) Are all your values integers or do you also need to scan fractional numbers? In this case, you should use "fract/exp string to number" instead.

How to get the metadata (in xml format) of all the fileds in SQl query ?

Good day ,
I am using the dbms_xmlgen.getXMLfunction to get the result of any query in xml format.
With this XML I also want the metadata information about all the fields used in the query (passed to getXML function). Is it possible and how can I achieve this.
I tried to Google it but couldn't find any solution , it's easy to do it in java where I can get the resultset meta data from the resultset but I have to do it in Oracle function since I want the result in xml format and want to use the oracle XML API.
You may think why I need metadata , the reason is the application will later use this information to sort the data contained in these fields according to their data type provided to.

Hi,
Please always say which version of Oracle you're using (SELECT * FROM v$version).
With this XML I also want the metadata information about all the fields used in the query (passed to getXML function). Is it possible and how can I achieve this.It is possible but with a bit of effort.
I would use DBMS_SQL utility to parse the query, extract each column's description and then build a METADATA element with the required information.
Here's an example (11g) :
DECLARE
v_query      varchar2(30) := 'select * from scott.emp';
v_cur        integer;
v_desc_tab   dbms_sql.desc_tab;
v_col_cnt    number;
v_col_lst    varchar2(4000);
v_xml_query varchar2(32767);
xml_metadata_coll xmlsequencetype := xmlsequencetype();
xml_metadata      xmltype;
res          clob;
BEGIN
v_cur := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse(v_cur, v_query, dbms_sql.native);
dbms_sql.describe_columns(v_cur, v_col_cnt, v_desc_tab);
dbms_sql.close_cursor(v_cur);
for i in 1 .. v_col_cnt loop
    if i > 1 then
      v_col_lst := v_col_lst || ', ';
    end if;
    v_col_lst := v_col_lst || v_desc_tab(i).col_name;

</ROOT>A couple of comments :
<li> I handle only four datatypes here (VARCHAR2, NUMBER, DATE, TIMESTAMP). Of course you can add more.
The list of Oracle Type Number is available here : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/sql_elements001.htm#i54330
Starting with 11g (not sure which release), DBMS_SQL package also declares these numbers through named constants.
<li> I don't use DBMS_XMLGEN in this example. Instead I rebuild the query using SQL/XML functions and the list of columns that's just been described.

Customization of DAC to send emails in XML format

Hi,
We need to customize DAC to send emails in XML format to the support team whenever there is a failure of the ETL load.
We use the HPSC ticketing system.
Any help to achieve this functionality is much appreciated.
we have tried to customize the existing email template of DAC, but it is not serving the purpose to generate the ticket in HPSC.
To generate the HPSC ticket, we have a XML format. We need to customize DAC to use this format.
This is the version of Oracle BI application we are using:
Build: 10.1.3.2.1.070411.1900
Release Version: Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.2.1
Package: 070411.1900
Build: 7.9.1.032307.0900
Release Version: Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7.9.1
Package: 032307.0900
Regards,

Hi,
We have raised a SR with Oracle support and are in touch with Engineering also today onwards. However, would like to try out options while waiting for a solution/workaround for this issue.
Regards,
