How to create your own serial numbers using API

-

 

We all know how we can generate serial numbers in the system. It is governed by the the setup at the organization and item level. A the inventory organization parameters level you decide whether we want serial number generation at the organization level or item level or user defined. If you choose User Defined and at in the item master you can choose Pre-Defined as your control, you are saying you want to generate your own serial numbers. What happens here is that the the serial number generation logic is followed by the serial number pre-fix and and number that is entered in the item master. Which means you cannot truly create your own serial numbers with this approach.
In order to achieve this requirement you have to use a very obscure package called user_pkg_serial.generate_serial_number. If you put your code here, then that serial number will be generated. This is kind of a hook. The same goes with the lot number. The package is user_pkg_lot.
Who knew that there are standard database packages with names like this!!

SubLegder Accounting in R12 SLA Part -1 In these article, we will explore the very basics of SLA and why it exists. Firstly, what exactly does SLA do? SLA is a module which now sits between the SubLedgers like AP/AR etc and the General Ledger. Have a look at this diagram below.  As you will notice, SLA can act as a mediator between the subledgers and Oracle General Ledger. Before we progress, some terminologies of R12 must be revisited. In 11i we had set of books, and in R12 we call them Ledgers. Likewise in R12 we also have secondary ledgers and reporting ledgers. Hence from 11i perspective think of Ledger as Set of Books. As for Subledger, a Subledger is nothing but a module like AP/AR/PO/Inventory etc. In the diagram below, the second scenario is explained whereby let's say that payables module generates a charge account segment combination for an invoice distribution line as A.B.C.D. In such case, if SLA module is not customized, then the very same A.B.C.D ...

Difference between ATO and PTO in oracle apps

Difference between ATO and PTO in oracle apps 1) MAKE TO ORDER: This is based on Customer specification, you make the product and supply it to them. This is applicable for Engineering items or any Product which you can make based on Customer order Example: Engineering Items 2) ASSEMBLE TO ORDER: This is you have items in parts and it needs to be assembled according to customer requirements For example you have Laptop coming with standard configuration of 160GB Hard disk and 1 GB RAM. But there are customer orders coming in asking for 200GB Hard Disk and 2 GB RAM and if you can assemble them to suit Customer Requirement 3) CONFIGURE TO ORDER: This is Configuring the Product itself to suit Customer requirements Example. The Thread Manufacturing unit Machineries are configured. I have seen Laxmi Machine Works in INDIA which manufactures textile Machineries configure the machineries based on No.of spindles 4) PICK TO ORDER: This is same as Computer Example in ATO. But the  differenc...
