This is a new feature introduced in R12.1.3 as part of RUP4. This is a good feature from a manager perspective to track the activities performed by all the employees reporting to him.

Logic for Oracle Expense Reports 'Invoice' Date

Once the Expense Repot is converted to Invoice using the standard 'Expense Report Export Program' The invoice date  is  nothing but  'week_end_date' column populated on the ap_expense_report_headers_all table. Below is the logc used behing the screens to populate 'week_end_date' 1) If Expense Report Header is just entered and saved, the Expesne report header entry day will be the week_end_date 2) While entering an expense report line, you can select date on the expense report line: which is stored as expese_start_date 3) Also in the details when you enter No of days: expense_end_date will be calculated as expese_start_date+no.of.days 4) Once the expense_end_Date is populated, the weekend_date on the expense report header or Invoice_date, is nothing but the maximum value of the expense_end_Date of all lines.

Scripts to Update the Values for Requisition Approval Time-out Reminder Notifications for both New Requisitions and Requisition Change Orders

 Most of the times we receive requests from business to set the value for Requisition Approval Time-out Reminder Notifications for both New Requisitions and Requisition Change Orders.  In all these case, we have to download the corresponding workflow and update the Attribute Value from the corresponding workflow process. Once we made the changes, we have to migrate/save the workflow to the database. Also, in most of the cases it is not possible to Test the Time-out Notifications with Real Value (Eg:- 15 Days, we have to wait for 15 days to receive the Time-out Notification even in Test Instance). To avoid the work related to download and uploading of workflow, the below scripts are very much helpful. We can update to a least value(Eg:- 15 mins for Each Reminder to complete the testing in Test Instances before migrating to PROD). We need to run different scripts for Purchase Requisition and Requisition Change Orders. Note: In all queries, The Time-out value will ...
