It's a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky. It's warm and sunny and everything's right with the world. You leisurely decide to run your Cycle Count Listing Report and oddly enough, the sky starts to darken. Storm clouds gather. The temperature drops. Winds start to blow and...NO DATA FOUND! Nooooo...not the dreaded 'No data Found!' You have an inventory item you know has a scheduled date for today. How can there be no cycle count entry! You feel like the porch light is on but no one is home. Is there a logfile, report, or sql query that can be used to resolve this issue? You wonder where can you find items scheduled for today? How many times was this tested to see if the item should be counted? Are the logfiles annotated? The Inventory Blog Team answers your questions with a yes, Yes, and again, YES! We have the MOS note for you, Investigating Cycle Counting Scheduling Issues (Doc ID 1912738.1). Note 1912738.1 provides information like the constraints placed on creating cycle count entries.



Use the video demonstrations, presentations, and sql scripts in troubleshooting Note 1912738.1, to once again turn those grey skies blue, in your cycle counting day!

Now that the Approvals Analyzer (Doc ID 1525670.1) is being requested on many Procurement Approval Service Requests and we have a new version, some client have reported that they are seeing errors like one of the following:

The errors above simply mean that the concurrent program definition and Analyzer code are not in sync.

To resolve this error merely download and install the current version po_approval_analyzer.sql from the 'Download Now' button in .(Doc ID 1525670.1). Load the latest version of the concurrent program definition using podiagaa.ldt, then rerun the concurrent program.  Issue resolved!

And while we are talking about the Approval Analyzer remember to provide the correct document type when running it. Take a careful look at the parameters that return in the list of values after choosing the Single Mode.  It must match your document!

If you forget to choose the correct Document Type you will find errors in the output like the following:

Do you need some assistance when loading counter readings into Install Base?

We have recently updated the following document to provide you with instructions on how to complete the process.

How to Upload Meter Readings Using the Install Base - Counter Readings Open Interface (CSICTRML) Doc ID 1909396.1

This also has an example template on how to populate mandatory fields in the CSI_CTR_READINGS_INTERFACE table.

The following fields are mandatory and must be populated:

• counter_interface_id
• batch_name
• source_transaction_date
• process_status
• counter_id
• last_update_date
• last_updated_by
• creation_date
• created_by
• source_transaction_type_id
• counter_name

Once you have loaded the data into the interface table run the Install Base - Counter Readings Open Interface program.

Note: DO NOT accept the default date ranges.  By default they are set to the same value therefore will not find any records.

If you require further assistance on this topic, please log a Service Request with Oracle Global Support.
