In this article, I would like to explain different possibilities of Forms Personalizations. Surely before explaining what can be done, first we will touch base upon what exactly it is.
Why was forms personalization introduced by Oracle in 11.5.10?
1. CUSTOM.pll is a programmatic methodology for extending Oracle Forms, even for trivial tasks.
2. Multiple developers working on same CUSTOM.pll could cause version related headaches
Does Forms Personalization replace CUSTOM.pll?
Not really, however it does provide an alternative to most common activities for which earlier one would use CUSTOM.pll
Forms personalization is driven by the same set of events as that for CUSTOM.pll.
Keep in mind that Oracle Forms Libraries first invoke the Forms Personalization, and then the CUSTOM.pll too for the same set of events.
How do I enable Forms Personalizations?
Enable the personalizations using the Help/Diagnostics menu.
To personalize any Oracle Forms screen in EBS, firstly navigate to that screen [say "PO Entity" screen].
From the Help menu, select Diagnostics > Custom Code > Personalize
What are the various components of Forms Personalizations?
Different components of Oracle Forms Personalizations are listed below. You begin with recognizing which Triggers/Events that you wish to trap and under what conditions. The condition can be entered using the syntax as defined in the picture below.
What does the Action Tab do?
Here you will either change form property, or display messages or enable menu etc.
Can I modify SQL Query behind the LOV using Forms Personalizations?
Of course you can. In the below example I am restricting the LOV to less than 3records by introducing where rownum <3 in record group query.
Step 1. Create a new record group
Step 2. Attach the newly created record group to existing LOV in EBS Form.
Can I call a PL/SQL Stored procedure passing it form field variables?
Yes, using the syntax below.
Note: You can also invoke FORMS_DDL built-in to perform DDL.
m'declare
v_field_value VRCHAAR2(200)= -||$(item PO_CONTROL_RULESOBJECT_CODE_DISPLAYED_VALUE value)||-;
begin
xx_test_001_proc(v_field_value);
end"
Can I call BuiltIn's?
Indeed, as shown below, you can pick from all the form built-in's as below.
You can also call a form function and pass it parameters using Forms Personalizations
Processing can be aborted if validation were to fail
You can invoke equivalent to app_item_property.set_property.
You can initialize a global variable. Initialization code is executed if and only if the global variable does not already exist.
Use global variables for passing variables back and forth between two forms.
Please do not use Global Variables if your logic is restricted to a Single form itself.
You can assign values to form fields using global variable.
Using forms personalizations, you can set the Default where clause of the BLOCK too.
Note: Don't forget to reset this clause after your desired operation has been finished. This will facilitate the form to run in standalone mode too.
ObjectType : Block
Target Object : PO_CONTROL_RULES
Properly Name : DEFAULT_WHERE
Value : RULE_TYPE_CODE="EXCLUDE"
Ditto for Order by Clause on block.
ObjectType : Block
Target Object : PO_CONTROL_RULES
Properly Name : ORDER_BY
Value : RULE_TYPE_CODE
For displaying messages, you can either enter a plain text, or your message can be displayed from the result of a SQL Statement.
Local variables can be defined and they will be active for throughout the session of the current form.
Use global variables if you wish to share the variable between multiple forms.
Below, just for demo, I am setting the local variable to 0.
In the below picture, I am checking if local variable is 0 then display a message.
You can enable SPECIAL1-15 or MENU1-15, to create new menu entries under the Tool menu.
The above two setups have instantiated the new Menu Items
SPECIAL16-30 will create entries under Reports menu
SPECIAL31-45 will create entries under Actions menu
You can capture the click on those newly created menu items by trapping event MENU1 or SPECIAL1 [or whatever you defined]

I tried to put a personalization using WNRI on the quantity field and yes it worked. Now the question is that i tried the same last friday and it did not work for some mysterious reason. I have heard that forms personalization done through this screen in front end is not always stable and may sometimes behave weirdly. Is it True? Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
It appears that your personalization s are being over-ridden either by standard Oracle code or something in CUSTOM.pll
A s you mentioned, the field gets disabled after you move to quantity field of the next record.
Try to re-enable this in WHEN-NEW-ITEM-I NSTANCE of the QUANTITY field itself and also in WNRI
Also, try to open the form and find the code that disables that field. See if any condition is built around and if that can be bypassed my means of FP.
thanks,
anil
Form s personalization [FP] is as consistent as any other form of coding, because internally FP gets translated into a program itself.
Glad to hear that it is working now.

For the error on Execute stored procedure
use syntax ${item.blocknam e.fieldname.val ue}
instead of :blockname.fiel dname
Thanks ,
Anil
pleas e provide me the steps for attaching new LOV(Customized) /Value Set to a text field through custom.pll
R egards,
B.Gowd a
Pleas e perform this validation in WHEN-VALIDATE-R ECORD. I believe that will guarantee you to display the message.
You can also enable Show Custom Events using Help menu, to see the trigger name that gets transmitted to FP/CUSTOM.pll when the window is getting closed.
However WVR is the ideal candidate for this requirement.
Thanks,
Anil
I would like to clarify my issue. My error message always displays when the combination of the 3 fields are not legitimate. My problem is that the assignment screen closes even after throwing the FORMS_TRIGGER_F AILURE.
Specif ically:
1. The user changes data on the assigment screen.
2. The user closes the assignment screen.
3. A seeded message asks if user wants to save the changes.
4. The user responds, Yes.
5. My function finds the changed data not legitimate.
6. The personalization displays a message.
7. The personalization throws FORMS_TRIGGER_F AILURE.
8. The assignment screen closes anyway.
How can I prevent the assignment screen from closing if there is an error. The FORMS_TRIGGER_F AILURE does not prevent the screen from closing. The person screen is displayed and Oracle asks the user to save the changes.
Tha nks for your help
Bob
I tried using WHEN_VALIDATE_R ECORD but there are many existing records that produce the personalized error message. The users many times want to just browse the records in production and the error message popup slows them down. They prefer to be presented with the error message only when inserting or updating the assignment record. Is there a way to use WHEN_VALIDATE_R ECORD but not produce the message unless the user has inserted or updated the record. I am currently using POST_UPDATE and POST_INSERT but I run into the problem I described in my earlier post.
Thanks for your help,
Robert
In the above URL [docs.google.co m]
can you please tell the next step how to do and what builtin to use to move the cursor to the first record.
Thanks
Puja
WHEN-VALIDA TE-RECORD must not fire if no changes were done to the record.
Is there anything in POST-QUERY of that block? It is possible that in WHEN-NEW-RECORD -INSTANCE or WHEN-NEW-ITEM or POST-QUERY value in one of the database based fields is being altered.
Hence this causes WVR to fire while scrolling through the records.
Please try to fix the source of the problem, then WVR will not fire unless and until record gets modified.
Thanks, Anil Passi
Thank you very Much for a such quick Reply
God Bless you
But, anil i oath i am confused can u send me a screen shot if possible

Unfort unately currently FP does not permit changing block property for Current Record Visual Attribute. If that were to be allowed, then you could have changed the property depending upon the value of attribute column.
As a workaround, you might try changing Visual Attribute for item instance,agains t each and every item in the record. However, you will also need to find a way to reset the Visual Attribute after the cursor moves away from current record.
I guess, given the constraints, the best bet is to use CUSTOM.pll for this requirement
Thanks,
Anil Passi
Thanks for the reply
Well, as you said above i have changed the visual attribute, I am able to change the background colour of an item in a record. But now the problem is the cursor is not going back to the first record.
God Bless You

For those record groups which dont have bind variables i am able to hide the ssn info in the LOV but on the find payments form when i tried to create the record group with the same standard record group that was taken from the form which contains bind variables is not working.

I am working on Receivables - Transaction Information DFF, there are about 8 segments in the DFF structure which is referenced to $PROFILE$.ORG_I D (context sensitive). As well there are about 8-10 Receivables responsibilitie s, which are having Transactions functions.
Out of the 8 segments I want to disable 2 segments to specific responsibilitie s. How can I achieve this through form personalization ? I tried different ways but not able to catch the DFF form and specific segment Item,property on it on ARXTWMAI form.
Thanks
Avinash
I think the call to fnd_function.ex ecute [i.e. Launch a Function] should wor for OA Page too provided you have registered your OAF Page as a Function.
Th anks,

Pleas e see my article on FNDLOAD
Than ks,

I have a requirement where based on the value selected for a item numeber in the Purchase Order Screen the DFF value set value must change.
Is this possible using Forms Personilization .
Regards,
Ma noj
Create a value set dedicated for that DFF Segment.
In that Value Set of type Table, have a OR condition or a UNion to make its SQL sensitive to the desired field.
Alter nately, consider using that that field as the context for DFF.
Thanks,
Anil
First of all, thank you very much for knowledge input.
Can u explain more on creating RECORD GROUPS and attaching to LOV, to restrict the results.
i have gone thru your documents on FP, but something is missing about creating RECORD Groups since the whole process is explaing in short screens in one page.
Please i will be very thankfull, if u can explain more on it...
Thanks in advance

I have got a unique kind of requirement on the ARXTWMAI ( AR -> TRansactions Screen).
1. We have a DFF on TRansaction Headers (Transaction Information) where we capture the Company segment of Acct FF for Deposit Class.
2. Now I have to Duplicate the Value in this DFF into the Segment4 of Accounting FF. we have Rec and Rev Accounting for Deposits.
Ca n this be achived using FP or any other alternative is there?
Appre ciate your help.

Thanks a lot for your great explanation.
We have a requirement to create a new LOV based on a Record group, which will display 10 fields. As soon as the user selects a value in the LOV, we should default few other fields.
You explained in the earlier threads that it is not possible through Forms Personalization s. Can we do it using CUSTOM.PLL??
Or is it possible to modify an existing Record group to add couple of additional columns and allow the user to search based on the new columns?
How do we address these kind of requirements?
If we open up the form and create a new LOV, the changes will go off if we apply a patch that has newer version of the form.
Thanks in advance,
Mohan.
Struct ure of the Record Group must not change, because you can not define the mappings to LOV columns using FP.
In this case, do the below steps:-
1. Create a Custom form that lets you search on your data and it presents results[10 fields] in Multi Record block
2. using FP in main screen, call that form function via tools menu. Tell users that its going to work via tools menu if they wish to see 10 fields in LOV
3. in the custom form, provide a button to select one of the records. on selection initialize global variables. program this custom form to navigate back to main form after global variables have been set
4. back in main form, assign the values from global variable into main screen, using FP
Thanks

Ques tion to you now regarding one area of personalization which I am getting confused and not able to get the syntax right...
Using the 'Execute Procedure' builtin, I need to read and assign values from form fields.
for eg: There is a block 'ADDR_SU' with a field name 'TAX_CODE'
I need to write a condition in the procedure that if TAX_CODE is null then set TAX_CODE to be 'Exempt'
I am able to do this using
Object_type->I tem
Target object->ADDR_SU .TAX_CODE
Property Name->VALUE
Value->nvl(:ad dr_su.tax_code, 'Exempt')
But would like to know how to handle this from within 'execute procedure' builtin.
I have been reading the SPEL and the R12 doco but I should admit I am just going bonkers getting the syntax right..
Thanx
This site is really good.

The articles on your site are simply Awesome .We are implementing Oracle HRMS here in Middle east .My question is can we launcgh a URL with parameters at run time through Form personalisation .for example
An ORACLE user is navigating an ORACLE form that is displaying the “annual leave†information of an employee dated 12/11/2006, the parameters to be sent to url are:
a.Employee Number: 1123
b.Document Type: Leaves
c.Docume nt Sub Type: Annual
d.Docume nt Date: 12/11/2006
The button should call the custom integration page; The following HTTP Request will summarize the above:
http://. ........../Inte grationPage.jsp ?EmpNo=1123&Doc Type=Leaves&Doc SubType=Annual& DocDate=2006111 2

intmed_sh ip_to_locations hould be apeear like as name.Now i'm using custom.pll
bloc k='line' and event='when-new -item-instance' .
when i select value for intmed_ship_to and click on that item.then location name come,
intmed _ship_to_locati on is not store in database.
when i again query the same order what i see the same value is appering in intmed_ship_to_locati on
like intmed_ship_to( 10072DE).
Plea se also let me know can i do this by form personalization .

I follwed the directions you gave in
"Can I modify SQL Query behind the LOV using Forms Personalization s?"
to overwrite country of birth LOV on the PERWSHRG form with the following SQL:
select v.Description, v.Lookup_Code
f rom Fnd_Lookup_Valu es v
Where lookup_Type = 'PQP_US_COUNTRY _TRANSLATE'
And Language = fnd_global.BASE _LANGUAGE
And Enabled_Flag = 'Y'
Order by 1
When applying and navigation back to the person form. The LOV returns no list of values. When running this SQL outside the application, it returns 238 rows. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong.
Thank You for some great documentation

Thanks a lot of such a great article.
I have a question here.
In Action: Building and Builtin Type: Execute a Procedure, I am calling a procedure as below:
='Declar e
l_chr_retcode Varchar2(1000);
l_chr_errbuf Varchar2(1000);
l_chr_out_value Varchar2(1000);
Begin
xxx_pkg.xxx_pro c(out_chr_errbu f => l_chr_errbuf,
out_chr_retcode => l_chr_retcode,
out_chr_out_val => l_chr_out_value );
End'
Now, in this procedure, I need to assign l_chr_out_value that I got from the procedure call to a form item. There are way of doing it like assigning this to package variable and then assigning the package variable back to the form item. But is there any way that I can direcly assign it to form item?

I have a requirement to calculate Collectable Amount (Amount_due_rem aining - amount_in_dispu te) in Collections Screen (Advanced Collections). It's a weird looking form and its not like other forms.
Can I use FP to calculate the Collectable Amount at run-time and display it on the screen using one of the DFF attributes???
If yes, where should I write my logic?? Which event should i use to reflect this change on each and every record in Transactions Tab of Collections Form?
I'm not able to capute the when-new-record -instance trigger on the "Transactions" Tab. Also, I'm not able to get the values of Amount_due_rema ining and Amount_in_dispu te fields for a particular Transaction on Transactions Tab.
Please advise.

how can i do that?
ive tried several ways but could not find any
I am writing an action on When-Validate-R ecord on Item Cross References form.
But When I click on save button the When-Validate-R ecord is getting triggered multiple times, thereby casuing the action (Message in this case) to occur multiple times.

That can be done using the action described below.

How can we do it.
As you have shown in 2nd screen shot that we can enter upto 100 personalization . It's basically sequence should be in the range of 1-100 but we can repeat the sequence number and I guess personalization can also by this can be more than 100.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I have been through all your threads on form personalization but couldn't find solution to my problem. I want to enter Lot/Sublot/Qty through FP while receiving goods. The problem is that there can be multiple lot/sublot for the item being received. We normally scan the lot/sublot info from the item barcode and store it in a custom table. Now i want is that when i click on lot entry form it should automatically fill the lot/sublot/qty for that item in the form.
I hope entering multiple records can be done through form personalization .
TIA
Vivek
You can loop through the records in the table and create multiple records.
See my response to the query raised by Joel on April 25, 2007 [in above thread]
You need to implement something similar to what is described below
docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcfd8fsc_62fdfvz9
Basically, the idea behind this approach is to force a recursive loop.
You make an exit from the recursive loop when all the cursor records have been looped through

After entering the value in Promised date the curosr is automatically moving to
Need By Date and the default value is not getting populated.If i click back in Promised date then the default value is getting populated.Pleas e suggest.Thanks for the Help.

I have a doubt in performing FP.
I have entered the Order line. Now I'll be calling some procedure which will either return Y or N.
Based on the return value I want to set one attribute on line to this Y or N.

Object Type= Item
Target Object=LINE.ATT RIBUTE16
Proper ty Name=Value
Valu e = *************
Here I am confused how to return the value and assign it to line so that it gets saved when i save my record.

Your website helped me a lot in creating an LOV using Forms Personalization . I am struck up with a problem and I need your advice on this if I am missing some thing. I am using Forms Personalization to create an LOV using builtin. In the Builtin, I have put the sql query under create record group from query. In the query, when I hardcode a value, in a where condition, the LOV works fine but when I replace the hardcoded value with :block.field value, it gives the error, FRM-40502: ORACLE error: unable to read list of values. Below is the part of the sql query where I am facing this issue.
"WHERE related_custome r_id = :ORDER.INVOICE_ TO_CUSTOMER_ID"

I have a requirement in Order Management - Shipping Transactions - in which I need to default the Ship Confirm Rule with a new value based on the responsibility the user gets into. But the Document Set is also attached with this rule and based on this rule the document set should change. When I am trying to do it I dont any errors but dont get even the value populated. I tried using the When new item instance and when new block instance by trying to put forth all the possible conditions in defaulting it to some value. I logged in re-logged in and tried several times but no value is appearing. If I try to restrict it with some particular value for the DLVY_SHIP_CONFI RM_RULE_NAME then I find the app hangs out with some wierd errors. Could you please help me out in putting this straight.

I am trying to do a forms personalization , for AP (Invoice Batches - Distributions)
The personalization is done for the activity when the user enters invoice through invoice batches, and enters distribution info for each invoice line. and now when the user selects a code combination in the account field it is verified from the account code segment (as to whether it is not a liability account). Now i have restricted the user to move ahead or back in the form, and have also shown him an error message through personalization . But ironically if the user just presses the OK button of the message box, he can still save the record. I dont want the users to save the record after entering restricted account codes
You need to raise form trigger failure.
Please see a comment above posted on October 25, 2007
Thanks
An il Passi
I agree for raising the form trigger failure. But the distributions window has many lines. so suppose if didnt have that personalization and the user had entered some few correct lines and some few wrong codes in some lines. how to stop the user from saving.. that is if i put the code in when-validate-r ecord... the trigger will only verify the latest record... will the trigger get fired for all lines in the block.
Please help.
Thanks and regards,
WHEN-V ALIDATE-RECORD will fire for each record that gets modified. Hence when you raise exception, user will not be allowed to proceed to next record
Thanks
Anil
Thanks once again.. it worked.. i had different ideas about when-validate-r ecord.
And by the way i have the same kind of issue but its a bit varied..
like i have done one more personalization in Order management (Sales Orders) form. When you enter the line items for a sales order.. the requirement was that we need to disable the DFF when the user selects an item of the same company but different organization ID.. so when i disable the DFF for the first line with personalization .. and if the user again selects a valid item in the next line.. then the dff which was disabled in the previous line(s) gets enabled again :(
how to beat that...!!!

I have 1 requirement in FP.. I have enable a DFF in Purchase Requisition form at header level.Also 1 DFF with the same name in PO at header level.My requirement is when going thru Autocreate , the value entered in the requisition form should come default in the PO form when using Autocreate. How to do this?
It woud be great if you can help me with this. I'm a beginer in Oracle froms.
I've used when-validate-i tem trigger to validate the item field there by calling a procedure in it. The procedure is validating and when failed raising an exception which is gettign captured as folows.
begin
if then
EXCEPTION
WHEN error_location THEN
message('Invali d carton for this transaction, please check carton location.');
raise form_trigger_fa ilure;
end if;
Exception
WHEN error_pick_rele ased THEN
message('Order is already Pick Released');
raise form_trigger_fa ilure;
.
.
this is the proc which is gettign called in when-validate-i tem trigger
as
begin
if then
validate_cc; --Proc given above
end if;
exception
when others then
raise form_trigger_fa ilure;
end;
in the form when the validation fails I do see the error message 'Order is already Pick Released' thrice. The trigger is getting fired thrice. When the validation fails the control it movign back tot eh same field and it gets fired again i guess..How can I overcome this.
thanks

Is it possible to add Sub Menu's under the Tools Menu using Forms Personalization . For eg under Tools if I have Menu 1, can I have Sub Menu 1, Sub Menu 2 etc under Menu1.
Thanks

I want to fire a form block level trigger when the user clicks on one of the menu item which is a standard menu item but not custom menu item. I am able to add a new menu item which is custom menu item and fire the trigger when the new custom menu item is clicked but im unable to fire the trigger when it is for standard menu item ( for me its "Actions" menu item in the form). How can I handle this through personalization .
Is it possible to update a key flexfield definition through personalization (like with custom.pll)?
I would only need to update the where_clause:
FND_KEY_FLEX.U PDATE_DEFINITIO N(
BLOCK => 'BLOCK_NAME',
FIELD => 'FIELD_NAME',
ENABLED => 'N',
WHERE_CLAUSE => '1=1'
);
I searched, but found nothing i could use.
Keep the good work.

one of my requirement is to hide the location field in the oracle internet expenses page(the screen user uses to enter their expenses). Is it possible to achieve it using forms personalization ?
i hope you will help me
Thanks for your help.

Jason
For Internet Expenses, you need to use OA Framework personalization s.
Forms Personalization is not applicable in this case
Thanks

This Forms Personalization Presentation is really helpful .could you help me how to get the return value of an Stored procedure or Function. and on the basis of return value i want to perfom certain action like prompting a message
I haven't really tried that.
But surely, in that pl/sql procedure/funct ion, you can set a pl/sql package session variable.
Next, in FP, you can create another personalization , which has a where clause depending upon that pl/sql package session variable.
Needl ess to say, you will define a function in package that returns the value of package variable.
Form s uses one single session, hence package variable values will be retained between different trigger calls

I have a customization to do in Oracle Projects and I am not sure if I can go with forms personalization . While creating projects the users are now entering all the attributes of location (like area, district etc), what they want to do is, to enter a location and the information related to location(area, district etc) should be sent to projects instead of them entering the data. The area, district are the fields in the same form. Can I put the condition as location not null and in the action Value 'select district from *** where location=locati on_value?. Would appreciate your help
You can achieve that by altering the query of the record group.
THere is example to achieve the same in this article, just seafrch on record group on thihs page
Thanks

i need help,
i need make a personalization to Sales order form, I have a sales order but i need validate an item when user press the book-order button,
any suggestion?
tkn s
I suggest you use WHEN-VALIDATE-R ECORD
If that is not suitable, then find out the trigger that fires using show custom event in help diagnostics menu.
Have a look at this article apps2fusion.com/apps/apps/21-technical/144-custompll
Thanks,
Anil Passi
I try WHEN-VALIDATE-R ECORD, :( but the user want save order sales without validate this item, and when press the button validate the item.
sorry i no speak and write english good :)
I suggest you read this link fully to get insight

Can we use SQL to give value to an item, just like using SQL for message text?
Thanks,
Sharmila
Sure you can use syntax as shown below, to default value into a field from result of a SQL Statement.
The syntax is exactly the same as that of SQL used in displaying message text.

Somethin g strange is happening in apps when I work with a custom form. So far, none of my teammates have had any ideas, so of course I turn to you :) By the way, this is not directly related to personalization s - I just wasn't sure where else I could post this.
When I have a custom form open, I may want to look at some properties of the form. So I go to Help -> Diagnostics -> Properties -> Item. When the properties window opens, it takes the exact shape of the custom form (i.e., its height and width). This can become a hassle for the user, since parts of the properties form can be cut off by the dimensions of the custom form (for example, items below the Object 1 and Object 2 drop downs may not be visible). Some kind of inheritance is occurring and I'm hoping to stop it from happening.
If you have encountered this issue, could you tell me how I can stop it from happening?

For few days I am experimenting on Forms Personalization . My requirement is in AP, for a particular Responsibility, Invoices Form should only display few invoices, the display criteria is Context (ATTRIBUTE_CATE GORY) field which is configured for DFF. If this field contains some specific char, say 'CAPS' then only display those invoices.
For this I have setup a Profile option called, 'TEST_CAPS' and attached it to a responsibility.
I am trying to compare this in the form personalization . Things I am doing are:
In Action tab Object Type: Block
Target Object: INV_SUM_FOLDER
Property Name: Default_WHERE
I n Values I want to compare the above mentioned profile ($PROFILES$ .TEST_CAPS) to attribute_categ ory.
But since I am not aware of SPEL I am finding it difficult to retrieve this profile value.
I tried: =${$PROFILES$.T EST_CAPS} but it is giving me an error.
For testing I have directly compared VENDOR_NAME to a existing VENDOR and form is displaying only that vendors invoices.
But when I am trying to compare it to profile value somehow I am not able to get the profile value to compare. I am not sure on how to extract data from profile in the SPEL (for form personalization )
I have confirmed that value is coming in the profile value, as I have used it in defining a VALUE SET, and it is getting reflected in it.
it would be great if you could help me in finding a solution for this issue
Many thanks
Ashish
You can simply make your personalization s applicable to a specific set of Responsibilitie s.
Hence you do not need a profile option in the first place
Thanks
A nil Passi
Thanks for the response. i am sorry that i missed one more point that, those invoices should not be visible for other Responsibilitie s. For this reason I have used profile and used DECODE statement to verify the profile value.
I am new to personalization so I am not sure if this can be done, it will be great help if you could help me on this.
More over it will be great if you could tell me how to retrieve Profile value using SPEL in Personalization . It will help me in future!!!!
Tha nks for your prompt response.

My requirement is that every time a value is entered in ordered_quantit y column in Order lines, it should get validated against MIN_MINMAX_QUAN TITY column from mtl_system_item s_b table for that item. If the user enters line quantity as 5, whereas the minimum quantity defined in MIN_MINMAX_QUAN TITY column for the item is 10, the value should get changed to 10. Please let me know how this is possible. If possible, please mention steps for the same in personalization as I am new to it.
Thanks,

I tried what you suggested in the previous posting like I want to pass user_id to FND_REQUEST.SUB MIT_REQUEST as $PROFILES$.USER _ID.value but it didn't work.
Now I am going for a different approach. I have written another procedure an called FND_REQUEST.SUB MIT_REQUEST in it and call that procedure from Form Personalization and hardcoded the user id.
The question is how can I pass a literal argument to my proceudre in form personalization which in turn calls FND_REQUEST.SUB MIT_REQUEST.
I am calling the procedure in Form personalization as follows:
= 'declare
v_field_value NUMBER;
begin
XX_SUBMIT_JOURN AL_REPORT('''|| ${item.HEADER.B ATCH_NAME.value }||''');
end'
My database procedure XX_SUBMIT_JOURN AL_REPORT calls FND_REQUEST.SUB MIT_REQUEST as follows:
request_id := fnd_request.sub mit_request(app lication => 'SQLGL'
, program => 'GLGENJRN2'
, description => NULL
,start_tim e => NULL
,sub_reque st => FALSE
, argument1 => 1061
, argument2 => 'L'
, argument3 => 'U'
, argument4 => 'USD'
, argument5 => 1
, argument6 => NULL
, argument7 => NULL
, argument8 => NULL
, argument9 => NULL
, argument10 => B_NAME
, argument11 => 180
);
How can I achive this objective?
I have defined a local variable called XXPA_USED_BY_MS G
I populate it and later I want to show it in a message. However - I cannot figure out how to reference it.
If it was a global variable I could use =:GLOBAL.XXPA_U SED_BY_MSG, which works.
I tried =:LOCAL.XXPA_US ED_BY_MSG as well as =${VAR.XXPA_USE D_BY_MSG} and many other combinations, without any luck.
Any ideas?

this is a superb site, thank you.
Do you know if its possible to use personalisation to set the LOV for grouping in autocreate form to 'Requisition' instead of Default.
I know there is a profie option but it won't be working until release 12 and we're on 11.5.10.2.
I need a solution to get grouping to automatically be requisition.

To make the “Destination subinventory” field on PO form Distribution block a required field
I want to make the “Destination subinventory” field (PO_DISTRIBUTIO NS.DESTINATION_ SUBINVENTORY) mandatory on PO form Distribution block (PO_DISTRIBUTIO NS).
I tried on the following things.
1. Property : Item-->PO_DI STRIBUTIONS.DES TINATION_SUBINV ENTORY-->REQ UIRED
2. Property : Item-->PO_DI STRIBUTIONS.DES TINATION_SUBINV ENTORY-->REQ UIRED (APPLICATIONS COVER)
The fields seems to be made mandatory(colou r turned YELLOW). But, system allow me to save and Approve the PO without providing a value to this field. If I click on the “Destination subinventory” field at PO form Distribution and then try to save the PO without providing a value, system is displaying a message that the field is mandatory. Could you please help me to make me fix this so that the system will not allow the user to save and Approve the PO without providing a value to this field?
Thank you very much in advance.

if length (:order.cust_po _number ) > 5 then
raise_applicat ion_error (20101, 'Exceeded length of column')
end if;
I want to know if there is any way where we can restrict the values seen in the LOV of additional lines DFF based on order status.
For example what I am trying to acheive is:
In DFF we have a column Event Name. This comes from a value set based on table and where condition as event status = ACTIVE.
We will end date ( status = CLOSED) for the events whose order status = closed
So the issue is when we try to query the closed orders, we have this error pop up "Flexfield Event doesnt exit in the value set.."
This is so becaue we are pulling in the ACTIVE events only.
Now I need to get rid of this error. But I do not want to show up closed events when a new SO is entered.
Can I have a way to hide these closed events in LOV or can i personalise the form to be able to show only ACTIVE for new record entry and all events for closed orders..
Pleas e suggest on this.
Thanks in advance.
Thank s,
Manisha
