Add item images in iProcurement catalogue

In iProcurement, items can be queried and selected for raising requisitions. Whenever a user queries for a catalog item, the item is displayed in the catalog search screen along with item details, like category, price, supplier, etc.

Oracle gives the option to display item images as well. There are 2 options,

1. Enter items in a BPA for a supplier and attach image names
2. Enter items in Quotation for a supplier and attach image names

Both options are demonstrated below along with the configuration steps and the usage.
 
Configuration steps

Set profile option
Responsibility: System Administrator
Navigation: Profile System
POR: Extract BPA/Quote Images = Yes

POR: Hosted Images Directory

Set the value to the directory where you will be storing the image files to be used by iProcurement catalogues. We shall use the directory, $OA_MEDIA/POR. Set the real path of this directory as the profile option value.

Important: The directory path will contain the URL extension of the image. For instance, after we drop the image in the $OA_MEDIA/POR directory on the server the actual directory path to the image file would be something like, /d06/appltest/testcomn/java/oracle/apps/media/POR/>. We can view the image from the front end as well if we type in the image URL as http://<<server name>> :<<port>>/OA_MEDIA/<<image file>>, in a web browser.

POR: Show Thumbnail Images = Yes

Unix

Create a directory, POR, under $OA_MEDIA to store the images as we will store the images in $OA_MEDIA/POR

Copy images to this directory. We shall use 1 image for the time being, dustbin.JPG.
Now enable DFF for PO Lines.
Navigation: Application > Flexfield > Descriptive > Segments
Query for Application = Purchasing and Title = PO Lines.

Create a new Context, Picture Upload.

Click on Segments button. Add an attribute, ATTRIBUTE13 for Picture Upload.

Go to the Segment details form,

Save and compile the DFF.

 
Add images using Blanket Purchase Agreement

Before the raising the BPA we shall check item CMS002 for which we shall add the image. Before the image is added the item looks like the following. Note the Supplier attached to the item.

Now we need to create a Blanket Purchase Agreement or BPA for item CMS002.

Check Global box.
Click on PO Line DFF. Select Context, “Picture Upload“.

Enter the image file name.

Save the BPA. Send the BPA for approval by clicking on Approve button.

Press OK button. Ensure that BPA is approved before you go to the next step.
Let us check the data from the backend. Connect to Apps database.
Execute the query to see the PO Header

1	SELECT po_header_id, segment1

2	FROM po_headers_all

3	WHERE segment1 = '411005548'

Now check the PO Line

1	SELECT item_description, attribute_category, attribute13

2	FROM po_lines_all

3	WHERE po_header_id = 108681

Navigate to Purchasing administrator responsibility and execute the following programs,
Catalog Data Extract – Classifications

Set parameters as
Log level = 5
Batch size = 5000

Catalog Data Extract – Items

Set parameters as
Log level = 5
Batch size = 5000

Rebuild Catalog Item InterMedia Index

This request does not take any parameters.

Connect to Apps database and check the iProcurement tables to see if the item is updated or not.
Check the Procurement item number ‘CMS002‘, i.e. the same item for which the BPA has been raised and approved.

1	SELECT rt_item_id, supplier, internal_item_num

2	FROM icx_cat_items_b

3	WHERE internal_item_num = 'CMS002'

The 2^nd line is important for us as we are looking at the item, CMS002, that will be supplied by AL GURG STAIONERY. Note the RT_ITEM_ID value.

1	SELECT primary_category_name, supplier, internal_item_num, picture, thumbnail_image

2	FROM icx_cat_items_tlp

3	WHERE internal_item_num = 'CMS002'

Now check the item in iProcurement

The item, for the supplier for whom the BPA was raised, displays the image.
 
Add images using Quotations

In iProcurement, check the catalog items CMS005 and CMS006
Search for item CMS005

Search for item CMS006

In the database query for the items in iProcurement tables,

1	SELECT rt_item_id, supplier, internal_item_num

2	FROM icx_cat_items_b

3	WHERE internal_item_num IN ('CMS005', 'CMS006')

1	SELECT primary_category_name, supplier, internal_item_num, picture, thumbnail_image

2	FROM icx_cat_items_tlp

3	WHERE internal_item_num IN ('CMS005', 'CMS006')

Now go to Purchasing responsibility
Navigation: RFQ’s and Quotations > Quotations
Create a quotation
Supplier: Select a supplier
Type: Catalog Quotation
Effectivity: Enter a date range so that the current date falls within the range
Check the box, Approval Required.
Enter the items for which you want to enter images

Enter the details for item, CMS005.

Enter the DFF values for the item with image file name

Now enter the data for item CMS006

Enter the DFF

Click OK to close this window. On the main quotation form select each item line and click on Price Break button. Enter the Quantity for both items as shown below.

Save and close this window. Now the Approve button on the main quotation form is enabled.

Click on Approve. Enter the Type, Reason and Effective dates.

Click on OK button to approve the quotation. A popup is shown with the approval message.

Click OK. Now the quotation is approved. Change the Status field of the quotation header to Active.

Save the quotation.
Now execute the 3 programs in series,

1. Catalog Data Extract – Classifications
2. Catalog Data Extract – Items
3. Rebuild Catalog Item InterMedia Index

Check the log of the program, Catalog Data Extract – Items.

Note that 2 records have been updated in the Catalog section of the log file. This means both the items have been updated with the supplier and the images. Let us query the iProcurement table,

1	SELECT primary_category_name, supplier, internal_item_num, picture, thumbnail_image

2	FROM icx_cat_items_tlp

3	WHERE internal_item_num IN ('CMS005', 'CMS006')

We see that the item CMS005 and CMS006 are attached with the supplier and picture as well as the thumbnail image in the database. Let us check on the iProcurement catalog page now.
Search for CMS005

Again search for item CMS006

 Both images have been applied through a single quotation.

Important: Loading images using quotations is the better method, as a quotation does not need to be fulfilled and for a single supplier there can be multiple quotations. Whereas when we upload images through a BPA this will be a dummy BPA for which no Releases will be created but if genuine BPAs are raised for the same supplier in Oracle the dummy BPA will be displayed in reports and forms which will be confusing to users.

Modify the label on a Text box

I tried my hand at OAF personalization so I thought of giving a walkthrough for all. I have put in a series of articles on OAF personalization. In this article I have demonstrated how a field label is changed.

Step 1: To personalize we need to enable the personalization links for OAF pages. You can refer to this article to see how to do this.
We shall use Oracle iExpenses responsibility to demonstrate the personalization process.
Login to Oracle and navigate to the iExpense page. Note that the Approver field is editable. We shall personalize this page to make this field non editable.

You should see the Personalization links are enabled if Step 1 has been completed.

Personalization steps


We can rename field labels within OAF pages using personalization. This is done to make the field labels represent business process as closely as possible
In this example we shall change the label of the field, Approver to Line Manager.

Login to Oracle and go to the iExpense page

Now the field is shown as Approver.

Click on the link Personalize “General Information Page”. It will take you to Personalization Structure page.

Select Complete View and scroll down so that you can view all the elements.

Click on the personalize icon for Name: Message Lov Input: Approver.

Now we will be taken to the Personalization properties page.

On the properties, Prompt, note that Original definition is shown as Approver. We need to change this to Line Manager.

We shall change the Name of Line Manager on the Function level.
Note that personalization can be done on the following levels,

• Function
• Site
• Organization (Operating Unit)
• Responsibility

By making the change on the Function level it will be visible to all users across the instance.

Click on Apply. You will be taken to Personalization Structure.

Notice that the field Message Lov Input has changed to Line Manager. This value was Approver earlier. Click on Return to Application button on the bottom left.

Now you can see that the field prompt has been changed to Line Manager from Approver.

How to migrate personalization on OAF pages

In other articles I have mentioned how to personalize OAF pages. Now we shall discuss how personalization is migrated from one instance to another.
We shall migrate the personalization we had developed in previous articles. The migration steps are given below.
  
Step 1: Retrieve the page hierarchy
 

We shall identify where and which the personalization will be migrated.
Navigate to the OAF Page on which personalization is done. In our case the page is Create Expense report page.

The notable personalizations done on this page are,

• The message on top of the field, Name, saying “Please note that iExpense responsibilities will not be available on 31-Jul-2012 to mark the occassion of the Great Day. “
  

• The prompt, Manager, has been changed to Line Manager.
  

Now click on About this Page link on the bottom left of the page.

Note the line underneath the page name, Create Expense Report: General Information. It is
/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/GeneralInformationPG

The document name will be used in the next step as this is where the OAF page, GeneralInformationPG, is located and the location of the personalization on this page within the personalization repository.
Note the function name on the page, OIEENTRYFLOW.

Note:

The personalizations have been done at Function level. So we need to export the personalization done at this level
To check the personalizations on an OAF page you can execute a PL/SQL code in the database.

1

BEGIN

2	jdr_utils.listcustomizations ('/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/GeneralInformationPG');

3

END;

The output will look like the following,

Output:

01	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/responsibility/54174/GeneralInformationPG

02	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/site/0/GeneralInformationPG

03	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/responsibility/50299/GeneralInformationPG

04	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/responsibility/54173/GeneralInformationPG

05	/oracle/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/site/0/GeneralInformationPG

06	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/responsibility/55925/GeneralInformationPG

07	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/responsibility/55922/GeneralInformationPG

08	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/responsibility/56191/GeneralInformationPG

09	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/responsibility/56271/GeneralInformationPG

10	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/function/OIEENTRYFLOW/GeneralInformationPG

11	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/responsibility/56322/GeneralInformationPG

12

..

13

..

14

..

15	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/responsibility/55230/GeneralInformationPG

 
 
Step 2: Download the personalization
 

Now we shall download the personalization after locating it on the repository.
Go to Responsibility: Functional Administration
Navigation: Personalization > Import/Export > Personalization Repository

Then drill down as per the page hierarchy you had found in the earlier step.

We shall take the personalization done on the Function level by checking the “Select” box on the Page (The page name is GeneralInformationPG as shown in the previous step). You will notice the Last Updated date on the right hand side. The date also tells us whether we are looking at the correct OAF page or not.
Check the box for the OAF page whose personalization will be exported.

Now scroll down to the bottom.

Click on the button, Export to File System.

Now you will get a message telling you where the exported personalization file has been dropped. Note the message,

1	Exported 1 document(s) to /d01/applprod/prodappl/XXCUST/11.5.0/bin/planphase successfully.

2	/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/function/OIEENTRYFLOW/GeneralInformationPG

Important:

The personalization file will be dropped on the path defined in the profile option, FND: Personalization Document Root Path. In this example the path is set to /d01/applprod/prodappl/XXCUST/11.5.0/bin/planphase and so the file is dropped there. The profile option is set as the following,

Hit Ctrl+E to open the value in the Editor.
  
Step 3: Locate the personalization file on the server
 

Now we shall see where the file has been generated.
Login to Unix and go to the path /d01/applprod/prodappl/XXCUST/11.5.0/bin/planphase (This path is given by Oracle in the previous step)
cd /d01/applprod/prodappl/XXCUST/11.5.0/bin/planphase

Now go the personalization path, /oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/site/0/.

cd oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/function/OIEENTRYFLOW/

Now check the contents of the directory.

As you can see a file, GeneralInformationPG.xml, exists in this directory. This xml file contains the personalization set.
  
Step 4: Review the exported file
 

We shall FTP the entire directory structure to a local PC and review the XML file. For this task I prefer to use a tool called Core FTP Lite as it is free and I can transfer an entire directory structure from and to the local pc.
After transferring the directory structure to your local pc,

Now open the file, GeneralInformationPG.xml in any text editor.

01	<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>

02	xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jrad" version="9.0.5.4.89_562" xml:lang="en-US" customizes="/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/GeneralInformationPG" xmlns:oa="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oa">

03	<modifications>

04	<move element="OIEGeneralInformation" after="pbb"/>

05	<insert before="OIEGeneralInformationMsgCLayout">

06

<oa:formattedText id="Test_msg" adminCustomizable="true" cellNoWrapFormat="false" dataType="VARCHAR2" initSortSeq="none" queryable="false" rendered="true" scope="." sortState="no" styleClass="OraErrorNameText" text="Please note that iExpense responsibilities will not be available on 31-Jul-2012 to mark the occassion of the Great Day." totalValue="false" userCustomizable="false" xmlns:oa="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oa"/>

07

</insert>

08	<move element="ApproverId" after="OIEGeneralInformationMsgCLayout"/>

09	<move element="AdditionalInformationHeader" after="ApproverId"/>

10	<modify element="OverrideApprover" prompt="Line Manager"/>

11	</modifications>

12	</customization>

You can see the customizations in the xml file. You can also view the file contents from the database by executing the following PL/SQL commands.

1

BEGIN

2	jdr_utils.printdocument ('/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/function/OIEENTRYFLOW/GeneralInformationPG');

3

END;

On executing this anonymous block the output will be the same as the exported XML file.

  
 
Step 5: Move the exported personalization
 

We need to migrate the file, GeneralInformation.xml, along with the entire path, /oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/function/OIEENTRYFLOW/ to the target Oracle instance.

First let us locate the value of the profile option, FND: Personalization Document Root Path, on the target Oracle instance.

The path is /d03/appltest/testcomn/temp. This is the path where we need to drop the xml file with its directory structure.
Drop the entire structure, /oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/customizations/function/OIEENTRYFLOW/ GeneralInformationPG.xml in the directory, /d03/appltest/testcomn/temp.

  
 
Step 6: Check the OAF page in the target Oracle instance before importing personalization

Go to the iExpense page

This is the view of the page in the target instance before migrating the personalization
  
Step 7: Import the personalization in the target instance
 

On the target instance, log in to Functional Administrator responsibility.
Navigate to Personalization > Import/Export > Exported Personalizations
The page will look like the following if Step 4 has been completed properly.

Expand the nodes all the way down to the XML file

Select the checkbox for GeneralInformationPG.xml.

Click on Import from File System and you will get the following screen.

Once import is complete the screen will automatically change to the following

Now import is complete and we have to bounce the web server
  
Step 8: Bounce the web server in the target instance
 

We need to either bounce the web server (Apache) or we can clear the cache. For bouncing the web server you can check out this link and for clearing cache you check this article.
  
Step 9: Check the personalization on the target instance
 

Login to Oracle and navigate to the same page in the target instance. That is the Expense report creation page, where we had done our personalizations.

We can see the message in Red along with the new label “Line Manager”. This means that the personalization have been successfully migrated to the new instance.
