ORDER MANAGEMENT:

1) What are the Base Tables and Interface Tables for Order Management?

Interface Tables :OE_HEADERS_IFACE_ALL, OE_LINES_IFACE_ALL

OE_PRICE_ADJS_IFACE_ALL, OE_ACTIONS_IFACE_ALL

OE_CREDITS_IFACE_ALL (Order holds like credit check holds

etc)

Base Tables :OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL: Order Header Information

OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL: Items Information

OE_PRICE_ADJUSTMENTS: Discounts Information

2) What is Order Import and What are the Setup's involved in Order Import?

A) Order Import is an open interface that consists of open interface tables and a set of APIs. It

imports New, updated, or changed sales orders from other applications such as Legacy systems.

Order Import features include validations, Defaulting, Processing Constraints checks, Applying

and releasing of order holds, scheduling of shipments, then ultimately inserting, updating or

deleting orders from the OM base tables. Order management checks all the data during the

import process to ensure its validity with OM. Valid Transactions are then converted into orders

with lines, reservations ,price adjustments, and sales credits in the OM base tables.

B) Setups:

Setup every aspect of order management that we want to use with imported orders,

including customers, pricing, items, and bills.

Define and enable the order import sources using the order import source window.

VII. AutoInvoice (Creation of Invoice in Accounts Receivable Module)

VIII. Autolockbox ( Appling Receipts to Invoices In AR)

IX. Transfer to General Ledger ( Populates GL interface tables)

X. Journal Import ( Populates GL base tables)

XI. Posting ( Account Balances Updated).

5. What are the Process Constraints?

A. Process Constraints prevent users from adding updating, deleting, splitting lines and canceling

order or return information beyond certain points in the order cycle. Oracle has provided certain

process constraints which prevent data integrity violations.

Process constraints are defined for entities and attributes. Entities include regions on the sales

order window such as order, line, order price adjustments, line price adjustments, order sales

credits and line sales credits. Attributes include individual fields (of a particular entity) such as

warehouse, shit to location, or agreement.

6. What are Validation Templates?

A) Validation Templates are used to define the validation conditions in process constraints. A

validation template names a conditions and defines the semantic of how to validate that condition.

These are used in processing constraints framework to specify the constraining conditions for a

given constraint. These conditions are based on

Where the entity is in its work flow.

The state of attributes on an entity.

Any other validation condition that cannot be modeled using the above condition.

7. What are different types of Holds?

GSA(General Services Administration) Violation Hold(Ensures that specific customers always

get better pricing for example Govt. Customers)

Credit Checking Hold( Used for credit checking feature Ex: Credit Limit)

Configurator Validation Hold ( Cause: If we invalidate a configuration after booking)

8. What is Document Sequence?

A) Document sequence is defined to automatically generate numbers for your orders or returns as

you enter them. Single / multiple document sequences can be defined for different order types.

Document sequences can be defined as three types Automatic (Does not ensure that the

numbers are contiguous), Gapless (Ensures that the numbering is contiguous), Manual

Numbering. Order Management validates that the number specified is unique for order type.

9. What are Defaulting Rules?

A) A defaulting rule is a value that OM automatically places in an order field of the sales order

window. Defaulting rules reduce the amount of information one must enter. A defaulting rule is a

collection of defaulting sources for objects and their attributes.

It involves the following steps
