I just found a PCI compliance/Oracle white paper that addresses the issue I posted.

I was on a project last year for another ERP package which was to ensure that credi card information such as CC# were SOX compliant. That is, the number cannot and must never be visable or stored. How is iExpense addressing this SOX issue? This would also apply to banking info.

Thanks Mike
Actually we solved this problem by placing the files on the right server. Infact our DBA’s know where they should go but incase you are not sure just place the CONUS and OCONUS files on both the Apps and DB servers. That should do the trick for you.

Make sure you upload the rates file to the right server. I’m still trying to nail this down, but I had success once by putting the CONUS rate file on the file server, whereas the OCONUS rate file had to go on the database server. Today I’m trying to repeat that experience and nothing is working, so there’s something else going on that I haven’t figured out.

Does anyone know how to upload per diem rates for CONUS/OCONUS locations into iExpenses. We are using Oracle 12.1.2. I tried uploading the rates by placing the file in the path specified in UTL_FILE_DIR parameter in the init.ora file. Then I ran the upload program from iexpenses Setup and Administrator menu. It keeps erroring out with the following message “This request finished with an error and produced the following completion message: AK_INVALID_FILE_OPERATION (PATH=/usr/tmp) (FILE=oconusnm.txt) The processing began on 22-NOV-2010 15:42:54 and ended on 22-NOV-2010 15:42:55. You may find more information on the cause of the error in the request log or the concurrent manager log.”

Any help in fixing this issue will be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Arun

Hi Marian,

I have an issue related to the expense status code. The status is not getting reflected correctly once the invoice is paid in payables. Om metalink it refers a bug for which Oracle provides onetime data fix also. But I would like to know that how it is getting updated in iExpense? Is there any PL/SQL procedure or any scheduled concurrent program which updates the status to paid/partially paid.

Regards
Prakash Kumar

Does anyone know the table or tables which hold the Locations and Rates data (per diems)? I have loaded over 400 locations and rates and need a listing of the information. Oracle, in it’s infinite wisdom provides poor reporting capabilities.

@LS Aug 3, 2010 – The expense report number is created by a sequence. The sequence name is AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_HEADERS_S. The value of the sequence can be altered; however, once the expense report number has been generated and inserted into the AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_HEADERS_ALL table I would NOT recommend changing the value in that table via SQL.

@Punit – What auditor information are you looking for? There is the AP_NOTES table which provides some auditor information.

I would like to know from which table I can get the Auditors detail for the expense report submitted using i-Expense
