Case Study: Purchase Order Extract Outbound
Introduction
File Ref: 402348185.doc
Introduction
A purchase order (PO) is a commercial document issued by a buyer to
a supplier, indicating the type, quantities and agreed prices for products or
services the seller will provide to the buyer. It will specify payment terms,
delivery dates, item identification, quantities, shipping terms and all other
obligations and conditions.
Purchase orders are generally preprinted, numbered documents generated by
the retailer's financial management system, which shows that purchase details
have been recorded and payment will be made.
Use the Purchase Order window to enter the standard purchase order, blanket
purchase order, planed purchase order, purchase requisitions etc. You can also
query and update purchase order in this window.
To enter or query a Purchase Order from front end navigate to Purchasing
Responsibility, Select Purchase Orders -> Purchase Orders.
This document demonstrates the extract of purchase order data, which is
approved and received.
Purpose
This document describes the:
This case study is intended to demonstrate the extraction of data from
Oracle Applications Purchase Order for legacy system.
File layout to be used for interface.
Approach and technical design for extractions.
Background
This case study document is designed to demonstrate a practical scenario that
occurs during implementation of oracle Purchase Orders.
Scope and Application
The following boundaries are specific to the extractions of Purchase Order
data using PO_HEADERS_ALL, PO_LINES_ALL, PO_LINE_LOCATIONS_ALL,
RCV_SHIPMENT_HEADERS and RCV_SHIPMENT_LINES standards table
All standard purchase orders are available in Oracle Applications
1. The ‘XX<EMPID>: Purchase Orders Extract Program’
create a file which will contain Purchase Order data which
are approved and received.
Introduction
File Ref: 402348185.doc
2. The ‘XX<EMPID>: Purchase Orders Extract Program’
have two parameters.
Data File Path: Enter the path of Oracle
Applications Server, where this custom
concurrent program will create the file for
outbound.
Data File Name: Enter the file name, which will
be used for naming the file while extracting the
data from Oracle Applications.
Audience
This document is intended for the following individuals:
This document should be used for demonstration purposes only.
Source system
The implementation team studies the source system and understands the data
required to be migrated from Oracle Applications to legacy system. This data is
then extracted and cleansed from the Oracle Applications (this is done by IT
team of source system) in the format as agreed by the client, source system IT
team and the implementation team.
Assumptions
This case study document is based on the following assumptions:
Users have access to Oracle Applications for the following responsibility.
Purchasing Super User
System Administrator
Users have access to Oracle Applications server access with write
privilege.
Users have access to Oracle Applications database (apps schema)
All the functional setups and master data (as listed in pre-requisites) are
already completed in Oracle Applications.
The extract-file layout must be in the format as specified in the extract
file layout section
Introduction
File Ref: 402348185.doc
Pre-Requisites
Approved and Received Purchase order records should be available in
Oracle Applications
Business Rules
Following business rules are applicable for the Purchase Order extract process.
Extract all the purchase order records which are approved and
received
Please refer Extract file layout for the columns to be extract for
the purchase order.

The Approach for extracting Purchase Order data from Oracle Applications to
a data file is
1. Login to the Oracle Applications
2. Using PL/SQL write a package
3. Use UTL_FILE utility in PL/SQL package to create the data file
4. Data file would be created by custom concurrent program
5. Use any FTP utility to transfer the extract data file into legacy system.

Module List
Concurrent Programs
‘XX<EMPID>: Purchase Order Extract Program’
The ‘XX<EMPID>: Purchase Order Extract Program’ concurrent
program is based on the stored procedure
XXPO_PURCHASE_OUTBOUND_PKG.main that is registered as a
PL/SQL executable.
The above program calls stored procedures to create the data file
(Data file name and path passed as parameter values)
NOTE:
1. Change the <EMPID> with your Employee ID,
2. Follow the steps for registering concurrent program from Registering
Concurrent Program section.
Stored Procedures
XXPO_PURCHASE_OUTBOUND_PKG package consist the following
stored procedures:
XXPO_PURCHASE_OUTBOUND_PKG.main
This is the main procedure that calls the create_headers and create_lines
procedures.
XXPO_PURCHASE_OUTBOUND_PKG.create_headers
This procedure is used to create the header for the extract file.
XXPO_PURCHASE_OUTBOUND_PKG.create_lines
This procedure is used to create the lines for the extract file.
