Important
Profile Options in Oracle Purchasing:
PO:
AutoCreate GL Date Option
Indicates the date used on purchase orders generated by AutoCreate:
The autocreate date is used as the purchase order date. The GL date on the requisition
distribution is used as the
Purchase order date.
PO:
Automatic Document Sourcing
Yes means that Purchasing automatically defaults source document and
pricing information for an item from the most recently created blanket purchase
agreement or quotation. No means that this source document information comes
from the Approved Supplier List window, where you must specify which source
documents to use. Note that if an item on a requisition is associated with both
a blanket purchase agreement and a quotation, Purchasing uses the blanket
purchase agreement even if the quotation was created more recently.
PO:
Display the Autocreated Document
Yes or No indicates whether Purchasing opens the appropriate
transaction window (Purchase
Orders window, RFQs window, or Sourcing negotiation page) and
displays the created line(s) when you autocreate a document.
PO:
Enable Sql Trace for Receiving Processor
Yes means that when you run the Receiving Transaction Processor to
import data from another system using the Receiving Open Interface, the View
Log screen displays the receiving transaction pre–processor’s actions,
including errors, as it processed the receipt data from start to finish. (The
profile option RCV: Processing Mode must also be set to Immediate or Batch for
the Yes option to work.) Yes also generates a database trace file; if you need
help with an error that occurs while the Receiving Transaction Processor runs,
Oracle Support Services may ask you for this trace file.
This profile option should be set to Yes only while debugging the
Receiving Open Interface or for generating a trace file.The Receiving Open
Interface validates receipt transactions from other systems and uses the Receiving
Transaction Processor to import the validated data into Purchasing.
PO:
Release During ReqImport
Yes or No indicates whether Purchasing can automatically create
releases during the
Requisition Import process.
PO:
Restrict Requisition line modify to quantity split
Yes or No indicates whether Purchasing restricts requisition line
modify in AutoCreate to only splitting the quantity of a line. No means that
the standard AutoCreate requisition line modifies logic applies.
PO:
Write Server Output to File
Yes or No indicates whether log details are written to a flat file
rather than to the standard concurrent manager details log viewable through the
View Log button in the Submit Request window when running the Purchasing
Documents Open Interface program. Yes means log details are written to a flat
file. No means log details are written to the concurrent manager log screen,
which can cause overflow problems for large catalogs. Leaving this profile option
blank means log details are not written at all, which improves performance.
RCV:
Processing Mode
Indicates the processing mode used after you save your work for
receiving transactions:
Batch
The transaction goes to the interface table, where it will be picked
up the next time the Receiving Transaction Immediate
The Receiving Transaction Processor is called directly.
RCV:
Allow routing override
Yes or No indicates whether the destination type assigned during
requisition or purchase order entry can be overridden at receipt time.
RCV:
Debug Mode
If set to Yes, and RCV: Processing Mode set to Immediate or Batch,
debug messages will be printed to printed to the concurrent
log file.
RCV: Default Include Closed PO Option
If it is set to yes,
a search in the Enter Receipts window and the Receiving Transactions
Window automatically
selects the Include Closed POs checkbox. Your search results will then include
closed orders. The Receiving Open Interface (including ASN) will allow a
receipt against orders with the status of Closed for Receiving if this profile
is set to Yes. Any setting other than Yes prevents receiving against orders
using the Receiving Open Interface with the status of Closed for Receiving.
