Supply Chain:
Types of Pending or Unprocessed Transactions
 Resolution Required Transactions
 Must resolve else cannot close inventory accounting period
 Transactions include:
•
•
•
•
•
Customer and internal shipments
Partially processed material transactions
Material costing (debits and credits)
WIP Resource and overhead costing (debits and credits)
WIP OSP receipts and costing (debits and credits)
 Resolution Recommended Transactions
 Highly recommended but can still close inventory accounting period
 Transactions include:
• Pending material transactions, external sources, shipments, etc.
• Pending or unprocessed shop floor moves
• Pending or unprocessed receiving entries

 But you cannot delete duplicate receipts or make corrections
 Per Metalink/MOS ID 726045.1: What Form Functionality Is Available to
Delete Or Reprocess ROI Transactions?




“There is no form functionality to reprocess Receiving Open Interface (ROI) records.”
“Deletion of ROI records should not be allowed from Oracle forms because these records were
inserted by iSupplier, EDI/Gateway process or Custom programs; these records are typically
managed by designated persons (often by technical staff).”
“For ROI transactions, the Delete Icon on Transaction Status Summary should be disabled;
however, some form versions allow deletion of ROI records, but this should never have been
allowed. For additional details about this, please review Note 760055.1 (Are Receiving Open
Interface (ROI) Transactions Listed On Transaction Status Summary Form?).”
“Because there are varying Customer business requirements that determine how and when
records are to be processed, Customers must create a custom process/program to delete, modify
or insert new ROI records as needed per business requirements.”
The Open Receiving Interface always has stuck or unprocessed transactions, the above
position does not reflect the difficulties with using receiving transactions. Even if you
only use standard functionality you get stuck receiving transactions.

• Multiple operating units
• Multiple ledgers
 Use simple easy to read formats
 With easy to use diagnostic information
 Make it accessible to Finance and Supply Chain users
 Monitor weekly, even daily

Accounts Payable Invoice Interfaces
 Accounts Payable AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE
AP_INTERFACE_REJECTIONS
 These two tables hold the Accounts Payables errors,
AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE and AP_INTERFACE_REJECTIONS.
You use these interfaces to process external supplier and expense report
transactions.
 There are reports in Payables to view these tables; however the Custom
Interface Errors Report runs across Operating Units giving you better
enterprise-wide visibility. The A/P interfaces do not affect the
Inventory Accounting Period Close.

Accounts Receivables Invoice Interfaces
 Accounts Receivable
RA_INTERFACE_LINES
RA_INTERFACE_ERRORS
 These two tables hold your Accounts Receivables invoice transactions
that have erred out. Corresponding error messages for the
RA_INTERFACE_LINES table is also automatically written to the
RA_INTERFACE_ERRORS table.
 There are reports in Receivables to view these tables; however the
Custom Interface Errors Report runs across Operating Units giving you
better enterprise-wide visibility.
 This interface does not affect directly stop the Inventory Accounting
Period Close, however errors in this table can prevent timely revenue
recognition as well as COGS recognition issues (for Release 12
especially).

Cash Management Bank Interfaces
 Cash Management
CE_HEADER_INTERFACE_ERRORS
CE_LINE_INTERFACE_ERRORS
 These interfaces are used to process your cash statements from your
banks. Any rejects will get stuck in these tables and will prevent you
from reconciling your bank statements with the cash balances in Cash
management.

General Ledger Interface
 General Ledger
GL_INTERFACE
 Not aware of any standard report for the G/L Interface table
 Every financial entry, whether from R11i or R12 passes through the G/L
Interface table
 If subledger accounting fails to import into the G/L it will roll back to
SLA
 Before General Ledger journals are interfaced into the G/L, as a posted
or unposted batch, entries are processed through the GL_INTERFACE
table. The Custom Interface Error Report allows you to easily see a
summary for both your errors and any non-interfaced entries sitting in
this table

Slide 65
NorCal Training Day August 24, 2012
Projects Transaction Interface
 Projects
PA_TRANSACTION_INTERFACE
 This table is the “gateway” or open interface transaction between
non-project modules and the Project Modules
 For example, if you have a Payables Invoice with a project
reference (project and task) the Payables entry will be initially
interfaced to this table from Payables. Inventory project
transfers, time & attendance and other project transfers from
outside modules also use this interface table.
 You should clear this interface by month-end, before you close
Project Accounting. This interface does not affect the Inventory
Accounting Period Close.

Summary
 Oracle interface architecture offers lots of flexibility, especially
in integrating other applications and outside transaction feeds
 If on Release 12, try the Pending Close Transactions Report
works for you
 Else use the Custom Interface Error Reports to monitor
transaction errors
 Monitor weekly, even daily to avoid month-end processing
delays
