8 8 Issues Encountered Country value is stored and validated differently in HR and AR/OM Address Flexfield. This causes a problem. The HR Address is used for internal requisitions which are interfaced into OM. This process failed because the country flexfield value was incompatible between HR and AR/OM. Patch 5477155 was released by Oracle Development to correct the issue along with the requirement to remove the value sets associated with the HR Address flexfield. However, this patch only works if you’re not using Vertex Data. Oracle Development is still working on final solution to this issue.

9 9Customizations Service Request DFF to identify the SR problem code User fills in multiple DFF’s to build the SR Problem Code DB Trigger to update the SR problem code

10 10Customizations OEOL Workflow – update ship to contact for parts requirement orders The Parts Requirement form does not have a place to specify the ship to contact. The Service Request has a primary contact assigned to it and this customization pull the OM Ship To Contact from this field. A similar issue exists with the Service Charges form in 11.5.9. This has a ship to contact but it is also not transferred to OM.

11 11Customizations COGS Account Generator for Field Service Debrief Transaction The default COGS account used for a Field Service Debrief Transaction comes from the Item Master. This is a single value which did not meet our requirement for a COGS account. You can customize this following ML Note: 297328.1 This customization requires the following: Develop a PL/SQL Procedure to be called by JTF_HOOKS Develop a custom workflow account generator (this allows the dynamic insertion of valid code combinations) Integrate the custom workflow account generator into the AOL tables
