Data is first loaded in PO_REQUISITION_ALL table. The RIP can then be run, to import the records from the interface table as requisition in Oracle Processing. RIP creates a requisition line and one or more requisition distribution for each row it finds in the interface table. It then groups these lines on Requisitions according to parameters defined. IMPORTANT TABLES PO_REQUISITION_INTERFACE_ALL PO_REQ_DIST_INTERFACE_ALL

 PO_INTERFACE_ERRORS IMPORTANT PARAMETERS OF REQUISITION IMPORT PROCESS a. Import Source b. Import Batch Id c. Group By d. Initiate Approval after Import REPORTS ASSOCIATED WITH REQUISITIONS IMPORT PROCESS a. REQUISITION IMPORT RUN REPORT We are able to view number of requisitions created and number of records in error from this report. b. REQUISITION IMPORT EXCEPTIONS REPORT We can see all rows that fail validation from this report 20.ORACLE ORGANIZATION Set of Books -> Legal Entities -> Operating Units ->Inventory Organizations Set of Books It is composed of a chart of accounts, a calendar and functional currencies Legal Entities that share the chart of accounts, accounting calendar and functional currency can be accounted for the same set of books One set of books can contain one or more legal entities Legal Entities It is a company for which by law you must prepare fiscal or tax report including a balance sheet and a Profit and Loss report Legal entities comprise of one or more Operating Units Operating Units Operating unit represents buying or selling units within an Organization Inventory Organization It is a unit that has Inventory Transaction and Balances and possibly Manufactures and Distributes products 28.What is Value set? A value set is a set of values, which restricts the valid values that can be entered. The value set can be either numeric and alphanumeric. It can be very sophisticated, incorporating SQL querying from several tables and able to populate the database with one column. 29.What is a concurrent program? A concurrent program is an instance of an execution file along with parameter definations and incompatibilities. 30.What is concurrent manager? Concurrent Managers are components of concurrent processing that monitor and run time consuming, non iteractive tasks without tying up your terminal. OR These are controllers of background processing for Oracle Applications. The main function of concurrent managers is to regulate and control process requests based upon a set of rules. It is a technique used to execute non interactive, data dependent programs simultaneously in the background. Oracle Application comes with a predefined managers including 1. Internal Concurrent Manager ( ICM ) 2. Standard Manager 3. Conflict Resolution Manager (CRM) and 4. Transaction Manager (TM)

Internal Concurrent Manager controls all the other concurrent managers that are operating system process that poll for requests. 23 / 27 Oracle Apps Interview Questions Monday, 13 April 2009 09:03 We can also create concurrent managers to handle particular types of results or programs and specialize them for our business requirement. The manager that takes care of conflicts in concurrent Processing is Conflict Internal Manager. 32.Types of Errors in Reports Some of the errors are defined below 1. There Exists uncompiled unit : When the report is not compiled before loading in the Oracle Applications. 2. Report File not Found : When the rdf is not uploaded in proper directory 3. Width or margin is zero : When the repeating frame are not within proper frames 4. Not in proper group : When the repeating frame is not reffered to proper group 33.What is the difference between Compile and Incremental Compile? In compile all the PL/SQL within the reports are compiled but in incremental compile only the changed PL/SQL units are compiled. When compiling the report for the first time, we should do the full compilation and not the Incremental compile. 39.What are views? Views are database objects whose contents are derived from another table. A view contains no data of its own. 40.What are the PL/SQL data types? 1. Scalar types 2. Composite types 3. LOB types 41.What is Varying array (varray) ? A varying array allows you to store repeating attributes of a record in a single row. Process: First create a TYPE of VARRAY and then define in the table. Step 1: Create or Replace TYPE TOOLS_VA as VARRAY(5) of varchar2(2); Step 2: Create table BORROWER ( Name varchar2(25), Tools TOOLS_VA, Constraint BORROWER_PK primary key (Name) ); 42.What are collectors? Collectors are used to accurately represent relationships between datatypes in your database objects. Collectors such as varray allow you to repeat only those column values that change, potentially saving storage space. There are two types of collectors 1. Nested Tables,2. Varying Arrays 43.How do you compile Procedures and Packages? ALTER <proc/package> <name>COMPILE

What is Concurrent Programming? Concurrent Processing in Oracle Apps simultaneously executes programs running in the Background with online operations to fully utilize your hardware capacity. Use Concurrent Programming for Long Running Data intensive tasks such as Posting a Journal or generating a report. What is the Role of Concurrent Managers? A Concurrent Manager is a component of Concurrent processing that monitors and runs tasks without tying up your computer. What is AOL? Oracle Applications are constructed and maintained using the Application Object Library (AOL). The Three main areas of AOL are Applications Security Operating Profile Concurrent Processing Define Interfaces. What are the different types of Interfaces? Interfaces are used to integrate external systems and data conversion in Oracle Applications. These can be used to either transfer data from Oracle Applications to a Flat File or Data from Legacy System to Oracle Applications. There are two types of Interfaces. Inbound and Outbound Interfaces. Inbound Interfaces are used to transfer data from external system to Oracle Applications. Outbound Interfaces are used to transfer data from Oracle Applications to External System. Open Interface is the interface whose interface logic is provided by Oracle. Custom Interface is an Interface whose logic is developed by implementation team. What are alerts? What are the different types of alerts? Explain. Alerts Immediately inform you of the database activity as it happens. Can Periodically trigger off events as and when required Can take predefined actions Allow you to define distribution list Can keep history of the exceptions and actions taken against them. There are two types of alerts. Event Alerts Periodic Alerts What is the Flex field? What are the types of Flex field? Flex Field is Flexible Field A Flexfield is made up of Segments.

None Table Special Pair Dependent Independent Translatable Dependent Translatable Independent What are the Special and Pair Flex Field? Special Value Sets uses FlexField itself Pair Two Flex Fields together specifies a range of valid values. What are the Translatable Dependent and Independent Flex Fields? Translatable Independent Input must exist on previously defined set List of Values. Translated value can be used. Translatable Dependent means Input is checked against a subset of values Based on a prior value. Translated value can be used. What is FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST? Submits a Concurrent Request for Processing by a Concurrent Manager. Arguments Application,program,description,start_time,sub_request,arg1.. What is Client Info? By calling this Program in SQL*PLUS or reports with correct parameters user can achieve concurrent program environment for testing. FND_CLIENT_INFO.setup_client_info(application_id Number, Responsibility_id Number, User_id Number, Security_Group_id Number); Give the Directory structure in apps? $APPL_TOP - Product Directory- Version-
