Use of a custom source to derive an account based in the first segment of an items inventory class flexfield.

Worked example using a PO Receipt 1. Write the function CREATE OR REPLACE !"CT#O" $%C&'EL#(ER&TRA") *p&transaction&id #" "!+,ER- RET!R" (ARC.AR/ is l&in0entor1&item&id num2er3 l&organi4ation&id num2er3 l&segment 0archar/*56-3 ,E%#" select in0entor1&item&id7organi4ation&id into l&in0entor1&item&id7 l&organi4ation&id from mtl&material&transactions 8here transaction&id9p&transaction&id 3 select segment1 into l&segment from mtl&item&categories&0 8here in0entor1&item&id9 l&in0entor1&item&id and organi4ation&id9 l&organi4ation&id and categor1&set&name9:#n0.#tems:3 RET!R" l&segment3 E"' $%C&'EL#(ER&TRA")3 "., in this case7 1ou could also the 0alue source&line&id&column to go to rc0&transactions ta2le i.e. to the transaction&id column on that ta2le. /.

"ote the transaction id is the one used to test the function Account 'eri0ation Rule *A'R-

"otice that the source for the A'R is the function name *i.e. custom source- created pre0iousl1 and the test is for the functionBs returned 0alue i.e. C"EWB in this case.

Tips 1. +ake 1our test cases as simple as possi2le. %et the A'R to return the 8hole of flexfield in order that 1ou can check the output easil1. /. Test the function and make sure the customer tests theirs. 5. Dno8 the data model. # kno8 of no documentation that 8ill help 1ou. The 2est thing # can suggest is the re0ie8 the source the 0ie8 gmf&su2ledger&rep&07 this is the e;ui0alent of the 11i 0ie8 gl&su2r&led&08.
