Customer Interface Validation Rules


•Validates the data you load in the Customer Interface tables by ensuring that the columns in the interface tables reference the appropriate values and columns in the rest of the system.

•Considers a customer’s address to be foreign if the country segment is not the same as the Default Country you defined in the System Options window. It will not create location combinations for foreign locations.

•If you are trying to perform updates, it ensures that the record to be updated already exists within the system.

•It also ensures that records marked for insertion are unique.

Auto Lockbox

Using Auto Lockbox we Import Receipts into Oracle Receivables.

Features

•Interface Tables are populated by Auto Lockbox itself

•Input is a FLAT FILE

Auto Lockbox is a 3 step process

•Import Data from Flat File is dumped into Interface Table•Validation Data in the interface table is validated and transferred into Interim Tables•Post Quick Data is transferred from the interim to the Cash Base Tables. Applies the receipts & updates customer’s balances

The customer and receipt information is valid

The amount to apply does not exceed the receipt amount

Columns in AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE_ALL reference the correct values and columns in Receivables.

If the receipt and transaction currencies are different, AutoLockbox also requires specific application information and must be able to determine the exchange rate between the two currencies

or a Pro*C program which can be called in the custom feeder program

to Import Data into Oracle Applications.
