Oracle Interfaces

Oracle Interfaces:

In Oracle Apps Interfaces are generally tables, which act as a medium to transfer the data from one module to another module or to transfer the data from legacy system into Oracle Applications. There are 352 tables provided by the Oracle Package. Each module has its own Interface Tables.
Standard PO data insertion:

Standard Purchase Order Interface

WARNING : This step will delete data from the interface tables. Do not do this if others are testing any part of the purchasing process as these tables are used, not only during import, but during other processes such as autocreate. This step is only to be used during testing in test environment. Please do not delete interface data in a production environment.
Run the following statements to clear existing data from the interface tables. Please note that this may interfere with other testing.

delete from po_headers_interface;
delete from po_lines_interface;
delete from po_distributions_interface;
delete from po_interface_errors;
commit;

This step can be ignored if required. This step is only included here to clear out any data from the interface tables so as to prevent any confusion over the results obtained by running the import program.

2 - Please use the following insert statements to populate the interface tables depending on the scenario required :

a - PO with a single line :

commit

3 - The following queries can be used to check the data before the import program is run :

select * from po_headers_interface;
select * from po_lines_interface;
select * from po_distributions_interface;

4 - Login to Oracle Applications as OPERATIONS/WELCOME

5 - Navigate to responsibility Purchasing, Vision Operations (USA)

6 - Navigate to the Request Submission form and select the Import Standard Purchase Orders request. Set the parameter Create or Update Items to No and the parameter Approval Status to Incomplete as show below :

7 - Once the program has completed successfully, the next step is to find the imported document. Navigate to the Purchase Order Summary form and query using the Order fields under the Date Ranges tab. The easiest way to do this is to search for POs created from today's date to tomorrow's date.
