Oracle Accounts Payables Interview Questions and Answers

 

Ques: 3. What is the significance of the Document Total and Account Range types on the Approval Groups form?

Answer:

The Document Total type sets the maximum limit for any approval actions taken by the user whom the approval group applies to. If multiple Document Totals are specified, the restriction will be to the Document Total, which is the lowest. 

The Account Range also allows for a document total which is then tied to a specific range of accounts listed on the same line. It is possible to have different account ranges with different amount Limits. This allows the same user to have a different dollar/account limit. 

It is mandatory to have an account range specified in each approval group defined. By default, if there is not an account range defined, all accounts will then be excluded from the document approval process, which means that the documents will not have an ability to become approved.

Answer:

Earlier in Autocreate if the requisition UOM is different from the BPA UOM the user would not be allowed to create a release. But in Create releases program this was possible.

Ques: 16. How are Lot and Serial Numbers handled in Inter-Organization Transfers?

Answer:

When you perform an inter organization transfer, the source and destination organization may have different lot/serial controls. Purchasing handles this situation as follows:


1. When the source organization uses controls and the destination organization does not, the control numbers are recorded as being issued from the source organization. Lot/serial transactions are recorded for the destination organization.
 

2. When the source organization does not use controls and the destination organization does, the transaction is processed normally.
 

3. When both source and destination organizations use controls, the control numbers are recorded as being issued from the source organization. These control numbers are tracked to insure that the same control numbers that were shipped are the ones
that are received. When items are returned from inventory to receiving or to the supplier, only the control numbers originally recorded for the delivery transaction can be used.
