Inventory COGS Account Generator

 

• I am covering the Inventory COGS Account Generator

– Item Type = INVFLXWF

– Display Name = ‘Inventory Cost of Goods Sold Account’

– Run by the concurrent program ‘Create Intercompany AP Invoices’, short name INCIAP

• This is not the OM COGS Account Generator

– Item Type = OECOGS

– Display Name = ‘OM : Generate Cost of Goods Sold Account’

– Run by the concurrent program ‘Interface Trip Stop’, short name WSHINTERFACE

 

Typical Error Situation

 

• Run the concurrent program ‘Create Intercompany AP Invoices’ which completes with error.

• In the log file you will find something like the following:

• The Inventory COGS Account Generator does not pre-populate most of the item attributes in the workflow.

 

How to Debug This Error

 

• Change  the following profile options:

– Account Generator:Purge Runtime Data = No
This keeps the Account Generator data around in the OraApps tables after a process has run.

• Optionally

–

Account Generator:Run in Debug Mode = Yes
This generates Account Generator messages which usually dump to the log file of the program running it.  This can by itself cause problems at times so don’t initially turn this on
