NALAM Oracle Apps Technical : Interfaces in Oracle Apps

Mostly an oracle apps technical consultant will be working on RICE components.

R--Reports
I--Interfaces
C--Conversions
E--Extensions (Forms personalization)

Reports:
For suppose I'm running a business named 'ALAM' which is wide spread across the globe.Now,I want to know how my business is running across the globe.I will ask a tech guy(oracle apps technical consultant) to develop a report. In that report I ask him to simply print the details of profit or loss,of every branch of my business across the world.He(tech guy) will come up with the report to me then I will come to know whether my company is running fine or not.Thereby, I can take necessary decisions to run my business fine.
Clearly we have seen that report will be developed by technical person,who must know the report building.
We build a report using sql,pl/sql.So,if your are strong in sql,pl/sql then its not a big deal to learn the report building.Its enough to learn the report developer tool.

Conversion:
As I said earlier I'm running a 'ALAM' business(which is factious).Suppose I'm using excel sheets to store the data.Now I want to install oracle apps(E-Business Suite) in my company. So,What ever data that is present in my excel sheets must also be present in my oracle apps tables(A table is a collection of rows and columns).Now I ask a tech guy to write a code such that my excel sheet data will get into oracle apps base tables.Then that tech guy will use 'conversion' to get the data from the legacy system(in our case it is excel sheet) into oracle apps base tables.

Interfaces:
Interfaces are similar to conversions.Conversion is a one-time process where as Interface is on-going process every now and then.We run interfaces daily or periodically.
Interfaces are of two types
1)Inbound Interface
2)Outbound Interface
Inbound Interface:Transferring the data from the legacy system(in our case it is excel sheet) into the Oracle apps base tables.
Outbound Interface:Transferring the data from the Oracle apps base tables into the legacy system(It might be any of these SAP,People soft etc).

Extensions:
Extensions are nothing but personalizing the forms.In oracle e-business suite we have some where around 5000 to 6000 forms.In my 'ALAM' business i want to customise the po(purchase order) form of the oracle apps then i ask the tech guy to do that.He will use form builder tool to do that.

Creating Purchase Order Requisitions

Posted by Amar Alam at 00:26 Labels: API's, Interfaces, PO 0 comments

Below is the example to create a requisition.

We just need to insert data into Interface table and then we need to call standard oracle import program.

In below example, i have created a Internal Requisition.

Item Revision in Oracle Applications

Whenever item is created, default Revision will be assigned to item.

We can also modify the item Revision of an item.

Base table for Item Revision is Mtl_Item_Revisions.

To Modify the item revision, we need to insert new record in Mtl_item_revisions_interface.

Following are the important columns in Mtl_Item_Revisions_Interface

a. Inventory_item_id
b. Organization_id
c. Revision
d. Process_Flag
e. set_process_id
f. Transaction_type

Below code helps you to unserstand how to create a Item Revision.

INTRO TO INTERFACES(For Freshers to oracle Apps)

What is a interface?
In terms of oracle applications interface is a communication channel that allows the data to move in and out of the system.

How many types of interfaces are there?
1.INBOUND INTERFACES
2.OUTBOUND INTERFACES

Inbound Inter Face: The one which allows data to get into oracle application from outside is called inbound interface.

Out Bound Interface:The one which allows data to get data from oracle applications to other systems is called outbound interface.

What are different types of inbound interfaces available?
1. Open interfaces
2. API's(Application Program Interface)
3. EDI(Electronic Data interchange)--Mainly used for automation transactions with third party systems
4. XML GATEWAY --Mainly used for automation transactions with third party systems
5. WEBADI--Used for uploading data from excel with the scope to have some validations--mainly used for one time loading..Just like sqlloader+validation program..
5. PLSQL Packages for Reading XML Data--Use this in case of importing non standard transactions

What are different types of outbound interfaces available?
1. Custom programs where we pull data to a csv file using UTL_FILE in the required format
2. EDI
3. XMLGATEWAY
4. PLSQL Packages for generating XML

what is the difference between OPEN INTERFACE & API's?
OPEN INTERFACE:
I don't see much difference between the open other than the way we load data.
In case of open interface the data is loaded in to open interface table like GL_INTERFACE or Sales Order Interface(OE_ORDER_HEADERS_IFACE_ALL).
Run the interface import program.
This will validate the data and put it into oracle applications.All the invalid records are marked as Error.
One thing is there are GUI Screens available for most of these interface where you check the errror message correct it there only and resubmit the interface.
From the technical perspective there are Error tables available for each interface

API:
API's are the oracle built packages where the validation logic is wrapped inside a package and the data is passed as parameters to the API.
Most of these api's use the PLSQL tables as parameters to take the advantage of bulk binding concepts for faster loading data.
They will have the two OUT parameters to throw back the error code and message in case of data validation failure
Apis' are comparatively faster than open interfaces.
If a API's and open interface are available it is better to load through API's.If the records are more...

This is what i understand till date...Plz put your comment in case of i am wrong any thing more that would be helpful to make this better...
