Role:Oracle Applications Techno-Functional Consultant


Description: Colt was upgrading to 11.5.10 from 11.0.3. As a  part of the upgradation project, I was involved in the development and support  of custom FRICE components.


Responsibilities:


Data  Conversion

    Customer Data Cleansing Project: As a  part of this project (in 11.5.9 and 11.0.3) for customer profiles, some of the  critical data elements essential to the functions within ERP's Advance  Collections were rationalized. This required updating the two systems that  supported these fields (Order Handling & Provisioning and ERP1103) and changing  the default values for certain fields such as Profile Class, Collector Code,  Account Status and Risk Code. This was achieved by populating the staging  tables from Oracle as well as from Excel sheets using SQL Loader and then  profiling based on certain business rules.11i Instance (OH&P) was then  updated using a TCA API whereas the 11.0 database (ERP1103)

  was updated using the DB Link by calling an AR API.


Custom  Interface Development

    CMS Monthly Commissions Build Interface  Development: This program extracted data from 11.5.10 GL and  AR Customer tables and published that to CMS custom tables. The concurrent  program Got the matching customer and contract details for Billed Revenue by GL  Date between the given dates (months) from the oracle standard AR and GL tables  and published them into CMS Custom tables in Oracle 11.5.10.

Custom  Oracle Reports Development



     
  • Duplicate  Payment Report: The  Invoice Audit report listed all duplicate payments for a certain supplier. The  requirement was to search for duplicate payments for a period and optionally  for an amount and supplier. The standard RDF report was customized to select  all unpaid invoices based on the parameters which are not selected for payment  and compare with all invoices (excluding cancelled Ones).
  •  
  • AP  Invoice Register Report: The standard Invoice Register provides  information to review detailed information about Invoices.The supplier invoices  were scanned and images were stored in an image processing system called XTRAC.  Payables users then created AP Invoices based on the XTRAC Images. Image ID in AP Invoice as reference. The Image ID from XTRAC was used as a  reference and was captured in the ATTRIBUTE2 column of the AP Invoices header  table (e AP_INVOICES_ALL). The customization involved displaying the Image id  and removing the Invoice type column from standard report output.
  •  
  • Standard  Customers Excluded from Dunning Report: The Standard Customers Excluded from dunning  report, based on the standard Oracle report called 'Customer Profiles Report' displayed  all active customer accounts and site level profiles having dunning flag set to  'No'.
  •  
  • Transaction  Adjustment Report: The Transaction Adjustment Report, customized on  top of standard Oracle report called 'Adjustment Register' could be produced by  OU or cross all OU's/SOB's i.e. ability to restrict cross-org report to  specific users, by registering the same executable twice, with different  parameter values. It required some fields to be removed from the standard  report and displayed Output in semi-colon separated fashion.


Custom  Discoverer Reports Development



     
  • Supplier  created after Invoice Date Report: The report highlighted potential supplier policy  breaches by listing invoice and supplier details where an invoice (Non  Cancelled) was booked with a supplier invoice date that is prior to the Oracle  supplier creation date. It prompted for invoice creation date range parameters.
  •  
  • PO  Value Exceeds PR Value Report: This Report listed approval and PO/PR details for  all Approved non-inventory POs whose value exceeded the approved PR value. The  report was required to check that purchasing department was not changing PO  values against approved PRs without due business approval. This also picked up  cases of PO's without PR's.
  •  
  • Requisition  Self Approval Report : This Report listed all requisitions that were  raised and approved by the same person within a given date range. The report  checked if either the Preparer OR Requester is also the only approver (self  approval). It prompted for creation date range parameter along with parameters  related to requester, country and business unit.
  •  
  • PO  Date after Invoice Date Report: This report reported potential policy breaches by  showing where a supplier has recorded a commitment (invoice date or invoice  creation date) prior to PO being issued or approved and where a PO had only  been raised upon receipt of an invoice (retrospectively raised PO). The report  displayed the Requisitions which were raised and approved after the supplier  invoice date or invoice creation date.
  •  
  • PO  Approval Report: This Purchasing Report showed details of  autocreated, non inventory PO's andapproval action history (including  people the PO was sent to who did not approve it) for Purchase Orders approved  in a given date range.
  •  
  • Supplier  Details Listing Report : The report showed key Supplier Header and  Supplier Sites records to check the validity of supplier data and control  settings. The report could display either Site or Header information on the  basis of report parameter.It could show three columns summarizing the  number of invoices, purchase orders and the amount paid against the supplier  site.
  •  
  • Invoice  On Hold Report: This was an amendment to the standard 'Invoice on  Hold' report in 11i to include additional information from PO (Requestor Name,  Approver name and PO number) to allow the Accounts Payables to efficiently  resolve holds.
