Please have a look at sample code from PACKAGE BODY PO_INTERFACE_S
To check the success, you need to check the boolean value returned.
Return code can be either STATE_FAILED or SUBMISSION_FAILED or perhaps other values.
When the API fails, you can get the details of the failure from table po_online_report_text after API Call

If you are running this API from SQL*Plus, then ensure that you have set your session using fnd_global.apps_initialize

x_doctype := 'PO';
IF NOT po_actions.close_po(interface.po_header_id,
x_doctype,
g_document_subtype,
x_po_line_id,
x_line_location_id,
'CLOSE',
'',
'PO',
'N',
x_return_code,
'Y') then

po_message_s.sql_error('CLOSE_PO',l_progress,sqlcode);
END IF;

Thanks

Using CLAF, the page rendering is messed up!
written by Sanket , June 25, 2008

Hi Anil,
As demonstrated by you, I created a CLAF and applied the same. The page rendering is all messed up after this. In my CLAF, I did not make any custom changes, just accepted the defaults. But when I launch the apps, the pages show all links concatenated, there are many line breaks which have gone missing, the entire skin seems out of place!

My question is, that if CLAF allows us to make selective changes to the STYLES, how can we retain the default page layout rendering? I was going through a document by Oracle and came across the style "GlobalButtonText" which needs a property "Padding=5px" which solves the issue of the global navigation links concatenation. I applied this customization and it works and the global links are now showing up properly. But rest of the links and the page layout is still out of place.

But why this erratic behavior? If we are defining CLAF, only the selective modifications must be applied, and that is my understanding. Why is the entire page rendering being put out of place? Any leads???

Thanks.

Regards,
Sanket.

written by GsrC , February 18, 2009

Hi anil;

I seen few references in meta-link (Bug 6269963, 455216.1, 402463.1) but there is no useful points.

Any suggestions??

customising the sub tab region using CLAF.
written by veenaP , November 23, 2010

Hi anil,

i want to modify the subtab region using claf. however i dint get "subtab" in the component list. My requirement is, when i create UI for a model using subtab navigation, the tabs look and feel i need to change. In 11i, it comes in a single strip. In R12 look and feel for subtab region is better than 11i.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
veena

page rendering
written by Sridhar Parvathikar , May 09, 2011

Hi Anil,

I am able to achive the custom header, footer. However I am facing an issue related to the text hint message '(defined in fnd_message IRC_VIS_REGISTER_HDR2) which is displayed in the 'iRec-Registration Page' under the heading 'Registration'.

Message: If you have already registered with iRec, then please login now.

I have used the pagelayout.uit as per your document. Do I need to add any additional line in the pagelayout.uit to get this message.

Thanks,
Sridhar
