• I am covering the Inventory COGS Account
Generator
– Item Type = INVFLXWF
– Display Name = ‘Inventory Cost of Goods Sold
Account’
– Run by the concurrent program ‘Create Intercompany
AP Invoices’, short name INCIAP

• This is not the OM COGS Account Generator

– Item Type = OECOGS

Account’
– Run by the concurrent program ‘Interface Trip Stop’,
short name WSHINTERFACE

 Basic Summary of the Problem
• The Inventory COGS Account Generator
does not pre-populate most of the item
attributes in the workflow.

 How to Debug This Error
• Change the following profile options:
– Account Generator:Purge Runtime Data = No
This keeps the Account Generator data around in
the OraApps tables after a process has run.
• Optionally
– Account Generator:Run in Debug Mode = Yes
This generates Account Generator messages
which usually dump to the log file of the program
running it. This can by itself cause problems at
times so don’t initially turn this on.
