NOTES :

flex field is a flexible data field that your organization can customize to your business needs without programming.Key Flexfield is used to describe unique identifiers that will have a better meaning than using number IDs. e.g a part number, a cost centre etc Desc Flex is used to just capture extra information.  

Key Flexfields have qualifiers whereas Desc Flexfields do not. Desc Flexfields can have context sensitive segments while Key flexfields cannot.

Bind variables (:) - used to replace a single value in SQL or PL/SQL, such as a character string, number, or date. Specifically, bind references may be used to replace expressions in SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, CONNECT BY, and START WITH clauses of queries.

Lexical references (&) -placeholders for text that you embed in a SELECT statement. You can use lexical references to replace the clauses appearing after SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, CONNECT BY, and START WITH.

Anchor - defines the relative position of an object to the

object to which it is anchored. You need anchors to define where you want objects to appear relative to one another.

FORMS

The TEMPLATE form is the required starting point for all development of new forms. Start developing each new form by copying the TEMPLATE.fmb file, located in $AU_TOP/forms/US. Standard Libraries FNDSQF contains packages and procedures for

Message Dictionary, flexfields, profiles, and concurrent processing. It also has various other utilities for navigation, multicurrency, WHO, etc.

APPCORE and APPCORE2 contain the packages and procedures that are required of all forms to support the menu, Toolbar, and other required standard behaviors. APPCORE2 is a near duplicate of APPCORE intended for use with the CUSTOM library.

APPDAYPK contains the packages that control the Applications Calendar.

APPFLDR contains all of the packages that enable folder blocks.

VERT, GLOBE, PSAC, PQH_GEN, GHR, JA, JE, and JL exist to support globalization and vertical markets. These libraries are for Oracle Applications use only and may not be attached the custom forms. However, they appear to be attached to most forms based on the TEMPLATE form because they are attached to the APPCORE library or other standard libraries.

CUSTOM contains stub calls that may be modified to provide custom code for Oracle Applications forms without modifying the Oracle Applications forms directly. The CUSTOM package contains the following functions and procedure:CUSTOM.ZOOM_AVAILABLE - If Zoom is available for this block, then return TRUE; otherwise return FALSE.CUSTOM.STYLECUSTOM.EVENT - This procedure allows you to execute your code at specific events.Always use FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE to open a new session of a form.

PL/SQL:

Two parameters that are mandatory for pl/sql type concurrent program Procedure/function (ERRBUF OUT RETCODE OUT ………………….) ERRBUF - Used to write the error message to log or request file. RETCODE - Populate log request file with program submission details info

1. Describe the difference between a procedure, function and anonymous pl/sql block.should mention use of DECLARE statement, A function and procedure are the same in that they are intended to be a collection of PL/SQL code that carries a single task. a function must return a value while a procedure doesn’t have to.2. What is a mutating table error and how can you get around it?This happens with triggers. It occurs because the trigger is trying to update a row it is currently using. The usual fix involves either use of views or temporary tables so the database is selecting from one while updating the other.3. Describe the use of %ROWTYPE and %TYPE in PL/SQL %ROWTYPE allows you to associate a variable with an entire table row. The %TYPE associates a variable with a single column type. 4. What packages (if any) has Oracle provided for use by developers? Oracle provides the DBMS_ series of packages. Such as DBMS_SQL, DBMS_PIPE, DBMS_TRANSACTION, DBMS_LOCK, DBMS_ALERT, DBMS_OUTPUT, DBMS_JOB, DBMS_UTILITY, DBMS_DDL, UTL_FILE. 5. Describe the use of PL/SQL tablesPL/SQL tables are scalar arrays that can be referenced by a binary integer. They can be used to hold values for use in later queries or calculations. In Oracle 8 they will be able to be of the %ROWTYPE designation, or RECORD. 6. When is a declare statement needed ?The DECLARE statement is used in PL/SQL anonymous blocks such as with stand alone, non-stored PL/SQL procedures. It must come first in a PL/SQL stand alone file if it is used.7. In what order should a open/fetch/loop set of commands in a PL/SQL block be implemented if you use the %NOTFOUND cursor variable in the exit when statement? Why?OPEN then FETCH then LOOP followed by the exit when. If not specified in this order will result in the final return being done twice because of the way the %NOTFOUND is handled by PL/SQL. 8. What are SQLCODE and SQLERRM and why are they important for PL/SQL developers?SQLCODE returns the value of the error number for the last error encountered. The SQLERRM returns the actual error message for the last error encountered. They can be used in exception handling to report, or, store in an error log table, the error that

occurred in the code. These are especially useful for the WHEN OTHERS exception.9. How can you find within a PL/SQL block, if a cursor is open?Use the %ISOPEN cursor status variable.10. How can you generate debugging output from PL/SQL?Use the DBMS_OUTPUT package. Another possible method is to just use the SHOW ERROR command, but this only shows errors. The DBMS_OUTPUT package can be used to show intermediate results from loops and the status of variables as the procedure is executed. The new package UTL_FILE can also be used.11. What are the types of triggers? There are 12 types of triggers in PL/SQL that consist of combinations of the BEFORE, AFTER, ROW, TABLE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and ALL key words:BEFORE ALL ROW INSERT, AFTER ALL ROW INSERT, BEFORE INSERT ,AFTER INSERT etc.

What is the dual table? A single row table provided by oracle for selecting values and expressions.

Describe the block structure of PLSQL. Declaration, Begin, exception, end.What is an anonymous block? Unnamed PL/SQL block. What is a PL/SQL collection? PL/SQL Table, Varray, PL/SQL Array, etc.What is a nested subquery? A subquery in a where clause.

How can you tell if an UPDATE updated no rows? SQL%NOTFOUND. How can you tell if a SELECT returned no rows. NO_DATA_FOUND exception.How do you run Native Dynamic SQL? Execute immediate.What is an autonomous transaction? Identified by pragma autonomous. A child transaction separate from the parent that MUST be committed or rolled back.

Implicit cursors - created for every SQL Query by the DBMS without user interaction.Explicit cursors - explicitly declared, opened, fetched and closed by the user explicitly. The user has complete control over the explicit cursor.

Delete command will log the data changes in the log file where as the truncate will simply remove the data without it. Hence Data removed by Delete command can be rolled back but not the data removed by TRUNCATE. Truncate is a DDL statement whereas DELETE is a DML statement.

AIM methodology and structureThe methodology used is similar to traditional software project management methodologies. There are six phases within the project, these are: - Definition – establish the business objectives and related requirements. Define the project work plan. Operations Analysis – analyze the operations and determine fit between organizational requirementsand standard application functionality. Design – develop detailed designs for the optimal solutions to meet the future business requirements. Build – physical software system build and testing. Transition – deploying the finished solution into the organisation. Production – go LIVE!

ALERTS1. What are Oracle Alerts? Oracle Alerts are used to monitor unusual or critical activity within a designated database. The flexibility of ALERTS allows a database administrator the ability to monitor activities from tablespace sizing to activities associated with particular applications (i.e. AP, GL, FA).Alerts can be created to monitor a process in the database and to notify a specific individual of the status of the process. 2. What types of Oracle Alerts are there?There are 2 types of alerts: Event Alerts and Periodic Alertsa) EVENT ALERTS are triggered when an event or change is made to a table in the database.b) PERIODIC ALERTS are activated on a scheduled basis to monitor database activities or changes.3. What types of actions can be generated when an Alert is triggered?When an alert is triggered or the event is true, the alert can Email, send or print a message. Alerts also have the ability to execute a SQL script to perform an action. Using Response Processing, Oracle Alerts can solicit a response from a specific individual and perform an action based on the response that it receives.

4. What is Response Processing?Response processing is a component of Alerts which allows the recipients of an alert to reply with a message and have the applications take some action based on the response. Response Processing only works with Oracle Mai products.

Customer Interface

RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE_ALLThis table stores customer, address, and business purpose information. ORIG_SYSTEM_ADDRESS_REFORIG_SYSTEM_CUSTOMER_REF, SITE_USE_CODE

AutoInvoice

RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALLThis table stores transaction header and line information. AutoInvoice uses Transaction Flexfields to uniquely identify each transaction that you import into Receivables.

Lockbox Interface

When you run the Import step of AutoLockbox, Receivables stores receipt data from your bank file in the AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE_ALL Lockbox Interface table.When you run the Validation step, Lockbox transfers receipt data into the following QuickCash tables:AR_INTERIM_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALLAR_INTERIM_CASH_RCPT_LINES_ALLWhen you run Post QuickCash, the receipt data is transferred from the QuickCash tables to the following Receipt tables:AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALLAR_RECEIVABLES_APPLICATIONS_ALLAR_CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY_ALL

The type column identifies the receipt as either CASH or MISC to indicate whether the receipt is a customer payment or a miscellaneous receipt (not related to a receivable activity). The amount column stores the net amount of the receipt, while the receipt_number column stores the receipt_number.

AR_CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY table• CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY_ID column• AMOUNT column• STATUS column

AR_CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY stores the current status and history of a receipt. Each status change is stored as a unique transaction, based on the primary key, cash_receipt_history_id. The status column describes which step of the receipt’s life cycle the receipt has reached.

Valid status values are:• APPROVED – This is only valid for automatic receipts and signifies the receipt has been approved for automatic creation. These record types are never postable.• CONFIRMED – This is only valid for automatic receipts and signifies the receipt has been confirmed by the customer.• REMITTED – This is valid for both manual and automaticreceipts and signifies the receipt has been remitted.• CLEARED – This is valid for both manual and automaticreceipts and signifies the receipt has been cleared.• REVERSED – This is valid for both manual and automatic receipts and signifies the receipt has been reversed.

As the receipt moves through its life cycle, Receivables inserts a new record into R_CASH_RECEIPTS_HISTORY with the current_record_flag column set to ’Y’. Receivables also updates the previous record related to this receipt, by setting the current_record_flag to NULL and by setting the reversal_gl_date. The amount column stores the amount of the receipt. The cash_receipts_id column links AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_HISTORY to AR_CASH_RECEIPTS.

Notes

Account Generator A feature that uses Oracle Workflow to provide various Oracle Applications with the ability to construct Accounting Flexfield combinations automatically using custom construction criteria. You define a group of steps that determine how to fill in your Accounting Flexfield segments.

Account segment One of up to 30 different sections of your Accounting Flexfield, which together make up your general ledger account combination. Each segment typically represents an element of your business structure, such as Company, Cost Center or Account.

Accounting Flexfield The code you use to identify a general ledger account in an Oracle Financials application. Each Accounting Flexfield segment value corresponds to a summary or rollup account within your chart of accounts.

adjustment A Receivables feature that allows you to increase or decrease the amount due of your invoice, debit memo, chargeback, deposit, or guarantee. Receivables lets you create manual or automatic adjustments.

aging buckets In Oracle Receivables and Oracle Payables, time periods you define to age your debit items. Aging buckets are used in the Aging reports to see bothcurrent and outstanding debit items. For example, you can define an aging bucket that includes all debit items that are 1 to 30 days past due. Applications Desktop Integrator uses the aging buckets you define for its Invoice Aging Report.

AutoInvoice A program that imports invoices, credit memos, and on–account credits from other systems to Oracle Receivables.

credit memo In Oracle Payables and Oracle Projects, a document that partially or fully reverses an original invoice.You can create credit memos in the Receivables Credit Transactions window or with AutoInvoice.

debit items Any item that increases your customer’s balance. Oracle Receivables includes invoices, debit memos, and chargebacks as debit items. Debit items remain open until the balance due is zero.

FOB (Free On Board) The point or location where the ownership title of goods is transferred from the seller to the buyer. This indicates that delivery of a shipment will be made on board or into a carrier by the shipper without charge, and is usually followed by a shipping point or destination.

key flexfield An intelligent key that uniquely identifies an application entity. Each key flexfield segment has a name you assign, and a set of valid values you specify. Each value has a meaning you also specify. You use this Oracle Applications feature to build custom fields used for entering and displaying information relating to your business. The following application uses the listed Key Flexfields:

Oracle Receivables – Accounting, Sales Tax Location, Systems Items, Territory

on–account payment The status of a payment of which you apply all or part of its amount to a customer without reference to a specific debit item. Examples of these are prepayments and deposits.

Cash receipts: Payment (such as cash or a check) that you receive from your customers for goods or services. Miscellaneous receipts: Revenue earned from investments, interest, refunds, and stock sales.

AutoAccounting : default accounts for revenue, receivable, freight, tax, unearned revenue, unbilled receivable, finance charges, and AutoInvoice clearing (suspense) accounts using the informationspecified in your AutoAccounting structure

IMPORTING SALES ORDERS/ RETURNS :

Can import orders in an entered, booked or closed status.

If you wish to import an order as booked, you must set the OPERATION_CODE column in the actions interface table OE_ACTIONS_IFACE_ALL with a value of "BOOK_ORDER". Do not use the BOOKED_FLAG column in the OE_HEADERS_IFACE_ALL table. This will cause the order header to show as booked, but not the order lines. The order lines will not progress through workflow to the Pick Release/Shipping actions.

You can import changes and cancellations to existing imported orders by setting the OPERATION_CODE in each of the interface tables. A NULL value is equivalentto INSERT. If you want to make changes, use an OPERATION_CODE of UPDATE. To cancel a line set the OPERATION_CODE to UPDATE and make ordered quantity = 0. To cancel an order in its entirety, set the OPERATION_CODE at the Header to UPDATE and set the CANCEL_FLAG to Y.

The following parameter and profile options must be defined in order to use Order Import. Order Management System Parameter: - OM: Item Validation Organization

Order Management Profile Options: - OM: Reservation Time Fence - OM: Apply Automatic Attachments

Order Import has the following parameters 1. Order Source 2. Order Reference 3. Validate Only 4. Processing Results
