MULTI TABLE IMPORT Using alternative tables can help you improve performance since Journal Import more efficiently processes high volumes of data from multiple tab les than from the single GL_INTERFACE table. Professionals creating data load ro utines can choose which interface table to put the data in, and whether the tabl e should be dropped when Journal Import completes successfully. Prerequisites 1. Data must have both a source and group ID. To use Multi Table Journal Import General Ledger provides you with the Journal Import Package (GL_JOURNAL_IMPORT_P KG) to create a new interface table and Populate the GL_INTERFACE_CONTROL table. 1. What are Budget Journal and Actual Journal? Enter budget journals to maintain an audit trail for your budget balances. You c an use budget rules to calculate budget journal amounts automatically.

What is an Extension in Oracle Applications and What are the steps to implement Extensions? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------An extension is a custom development which satisfies a business need which is no t available in oracle apps. If any Oracle Apps. module does not cover or does not have functionality to sati sfy a customer requirement then an extension is carried out. For example if you like to see the customer wise invoice no. and amount in AR wh ich is not present in Apps. standard forms then you can develop a new form to sa tisfy this need. (But it is available actually)

Steps to implement extensions are 1. Try to solve the customer requirement with out any extensions if possible. 2. Create new tables forms and other database objects as per requirements. 3. register all the forms reports in the concerned modules. 4. If the extension is larger then go for a complete custom module. for example if you want to extend some functionality in GL module then go for a custom modul e XXGL with out customizing the GL module itself. (You can refer Oracle Apps. developer document for more information) Journal Import -------------------------------------------------------------------------------GL Journal Import is a Standard Open Interface Program provided by Oracle Applic ations to import Journal Data from legacy systems/or even from Payables Receivab les Inventory into GL Tables.

Can you call APPCORE library in CUSTOM library ? you cannot attach the APPCORE library to CUSTOM because it would cause a recursi on problem (because CUSTOM is attached to APPCORE). As of Oracle Applications Re lease 11i, you may attach the APPCORE2 library to CUSTOM. The APPCORE2 library d uplicates most APPCORE routines with the following packages: APP_ITEM_PROPERTY2 APP_DATE2 APP_SPECIAL2 These packages contain the same routines as the corresponding APPCORE packages. Follow the documentation for the corresponding APPCORE routines, but add a 2 to the package names. RE: What are the steps in Customer Interface ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Insert the customer details viz. name country ship to address bill to address et c into ra_customer_interface_all table.
