REQ

Import:

What

methods

are

available

in

the

application

to

resolve
errored

records

in

the

PO_INTERFACE_ERRORS

table?

Oracle

Purchasing

provides

the

Requisition

Import

Exceptions

Report,

which

can

be

used

to

diagnose

problems

with

the

records,

which

have

currently

errored

out

in

the
PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL

table.

To

run

the

report,

follow

these

steps:

1.

Using

Purchasing

responsibility,

navigate

to

Reports-‐>Run

2.

Select

the

Requisition

Import

Exceptions

Report

There

is

parameter

titled

'Delete

Exceptions'.

If
this

is

populated

with

'Yes',

then

all

records

in

the

PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL

table

with

status

of

'ERROR'

and

the

corresponding

records

in

the

PO_INTERFACE_ERRORS

will

be

deleted

when

the

report

is
executed.

You

can

also

restrict

the

deleted

records

by

selecting

the

Batch_id

and

the

Interface

Source

code.

If

the

parameter

is

set

to

No,

then

you

will

see

the

errors

from
the

report

and

be

able

to

manually

fix

the

data

in

the

table,

if

so

desired;

then,

upon

completion

of

the

data

correction,

run

Requisition

Import

again

to

process

the

modified
rows

in

the

interface

table.

What

are

the

grouping

options

for

imported

requisitions?

The

requisition

import

process

has

group

by

parameter.

Use

this

feature

to

determine

how

requisition

lines

are
grouped

on

the

requisitions

you

create.

The

default

in

this

field

is

set

in

the

the

How

does

Requisition
Import

determine

the

grouping

method

for

incoming

pieces

of

data?

The

process

groups

requisitions

following

this

order:

1. Assign

values

to

REQUISITION_LINE_ID

and

REQ_DISTRIBUTION_ID

2. Group

requisitions

based

on

the

REQ_NUMBER_SEGMENT1

column.

All
requisitions

with

the

same

NOT

NULL

REQ_NUMBER_SEGMENT1

are

assigned

the

same

REQUISITION_HEADER_ID.

3. Group

requisitions

based

on

the

GROUP_CODE

column.

All

requisitions

with

the

same

value

in

the

GROUP_CODE

column

are

assigned
the

same

REQUISITION_HEADER_ID.

4. Group

requisitions

based

on

the

GROUP_BY

parameter,

which

takes

on

the

value

of

DEFAULT_GROUP_BY

if

not

provided.

GROUP_BY

could

be

one

of

the

following:

BUYER,

CATEGORY,

ITEM,

VENDOR,
LOCATION

or

ALL.

How

can

automatically

approve

the

requisitions

am

creating?

There

are

two

ways

of

doing

this:

1. You

can

populate

records

in

the

Interface

table

with

status

as

Approved.
In

this

case

the

Approval

process

is

not

called

after

creating

the

requisition.

2. If

you

want

the

requisitions

created

to

go

through

the

approval

process

then

you

have

to

set

Requisition
Import

Parameter

'Initiate

Approval

after

Reqimport'

to

'Yes'

when

Launching

the

Requisition

Import

Concurrent

Program.

3. Yes:

The

PO

Requisition

Approval

workflow

is

launched

automatically

for

requisitions

imported

with

status

of
Pre-‐Approved

or

Incomplete.

No:

The

PO

Requisition

Approval

workflow

is

not

automatically

launched

for

Pre-‐Approved

or

Incomplete

requisitions.

You

can

submit

these

to

the

approval

process

later,

when

you

select

the
Approve

button

on

the

requisition.

For

the

Requisition

to

be

automatically

Approved,

the

APPROVER_ID

value

from

PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL

must

have

authority

to

approve

the

requisition.

If

that

user

does

not

have

approval
authority,

then

the

requisition

will

be

in

status

In

Process

and

forwarded

up

that

user's

Approval

Hierarchy.

Can

requisition

import

handle

multiple

currencies?

Requisition

Import

is

capable

of

handling

multiple
currencies,

provided

that

all

rate

types

and

currency

conversions

have

been

defined.

Can

requisition

import

handle

multiple

distributions?

Requisition

Import

can

handle

multiple
distributions.

Is

requisition

import

organization-‐specific?

Requisition

Import

is

operating

unit-‐specific.

Within

the

PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL

table

lies

the

column

ORG_ID.Upon

Initiating

the

Requisition

Import

program,

the

profile

'MO:

Operating

Unit'

is

queried

to
derive

the

value

of

ORG_ID

tied

to

the

login

running

the

program.

Then

the

Requisition

Import

program

executes,

all

records

in

the

interface

table

which

are

the

same

as

the

organization
listed

in

the

'MO:

Operating

Unit'

profile

will

be

processed.

If

you

don't

see

any

valid

Import

source

when

you

launch

Reqimport

but

if

you

had

already

populated

the

Interface

table
then

you

have

to

check

the

org_id

Column

you

populated.

this

org_id

will

be

your

operating

unit

tied

to

your

Applications

log-‐

in

responsibility.

If

the

org_id

is

NULL

then

you
can

see

you

record

in

the

Import

Source.
