Questions and Answers

FAQ Details

1. how to get Web ADI and Create Assets/Additions Functionality?

A. Web ADI for Oracle Assets is included in the Financials Family Pack G code for 11i; this is Patch 3653484. Also required is Web ADI patchset 11i.BNE.D; Patch 3218526. To obtain Web ADI for Oracle Assets on lower versions, apply standalone Patch 4059966. Reference ---------Note 311045.1

2. How To Add DFF In Web ADI For The Fixed Assets Addition Integrator?
A. For release 11.5 if you are running FA patchset P then Patch 7426167 can be installed to obtain these features. If an older Patchset than FA Patchset P is being ran then Patch 4571103 can be applied In R12 the functionality can be obtained by applying << Patch 7316575>>. To get this patch please log a SR with Oracle support. Reference ---------Note.352848.1 Note.863503.1

3. Can I include columns like DEPRN_METHOD_CODE and LIFE_IN_MONTHS etc which are not there in 11.5.10 Web ADI version, but exists in R12?
A. For 11.5.10, Web ADI does not support these columns. However as a work around below steps can be followed -upload the assets as normal with ADI/WebADI -then either modify the values for the assets in case in PREPARE MASS ADDITIONS form, -either use a script to update the columns with a script in FA_MASS_ADDITIONS table. Reference ---------<>

- Navigate to: Menu Tools -> Protection -> and click Unprotect Sheet - Select from left side of the sheet line numbers, except the first and last once - Right click and press Insert This will extend the sheet. You can go on and make it this way how you prefer with this method to upload a higher number of rows. Reference ---------Note 850033.1

5. Why Does The Web ADI Template Allow Asset Categories Not Assigned To The Asset Book?
A. This is intended functionality. Web ADI allows existing categories to be added, as they are validated in Post Mass Additions. Post Mass Additions delivers an error, forcing the user to either attach the category to the book or to change the category. Reference ---------Note.834529.1

6. How to Disallow The Option To Run Mass Additions Post From WEB ADI?
A. If requirement is just to disable or remove the checkbox for 'Create Assets Now' permanently, then running an update statement would solve the need. Below are the two options to achieve it. To disable checkbox: update bne_param_defns_b set default_user_modifyable_flag = 'N' where application_id = 140 and param_defn_code = 'FA_MA_IMPORT_10'; To disable and hide checkbox: update bne_param_defns_b set default_user_modifyable_flag = 'N', default_visible_flag = 'N' where application_id = 140 and param_defn_code = 'FA_MA_IMPORT_10'; NOTE: The apps server listener needs to be restarted after updates are run to take effect.

7. While uploading Negative Cost asset This error message encountered: "A value cannot be entered for the Salvage Value when the Asset Cost is negative." Why?
A. This issue happens on lower versions of ADI. You can download and apply Patch 5580549 and verify the issue.This Patch gives 7.2 ADI Version Reference ---------Note 352166.1

8. Can I change the order of column in web ADI upload worksheet in 11i?
A. In 11i this functionality is not there. However the same has been implemented in Release 12 via the Layout Definition pageflow functionality Reference ---------Note 371277.1

9. Can I add assets with multiple distributions using WEB ADI?

A. Currently ADI only allows the entry/upload of a single row of data. So it can only load one location/expense account/employee combination per line. All get inserted directly into the FA_MASS_ADDITIONS table. The insert trigger on this table fires creating an associated row in FA_MASSADD_DISTRIBUTIONS with the data entered for these three columns with a foreign key on the mass_addition_id. ER.Bug 1653237: ADI ENHANCEMENT ALLOW FOR MULTI-DITRIBUTIONS ON ASSET LINES has been logged for this issue

10. Is Web ADI Certified for UTF8?

A. Web ADI is UTF8 certfied. The database setting (Environment Variable NLS_LANG) will carry over to Web ADI. Reference ----------

11. Why not able to use WebADI to create assets as the Fixed Assets integrators are not shown in the list of values?
A. Apply Patch 3218526 - 11I.BNE.D (and its pre-reqs) followed by 4059966 - NEW FA WEBADI INTEGRATORS STAND ALONE PATCH. Have the profile option "FADI: Create Assets Privileges" set to Entry, Upload, Submit.

12.Why WEBADI does not display the selected value when double-clicking the expense account column after selecting the account code combination?
A. It's intended functionality. The java form is just there for you to enter the value, it doesn't save record, so it would not show the previously selected value when you double-click after you enter the value. There is no table to store any data at this stage. The data is stored in the interface table (FA_MASS_ADDITIONS) when you click the upload button and the data successfully goes through the validation process.

13. Can the Expensed Assets Be Uploaded Using Web ADI Addition Integrator With Asset Clearing Account of Expense Type in R12 ?
A. Currently, this feature is not available in Release 12 as there is a validation against the type of the natural account segment of the asset clearing account field to be of type either 'Asset' or 'Liability'. If the asset clearing account type is 'Expense' or any other type, the Web ADI Addition Integrator upload will fail with the following message: You must enter an account of type Asset or Liability This is the same error message appearing when trying to define the asset clearing account with natural account segment of type other than 'Asset' or 'Liability' in the Asset Categories form in FA. There is an Enhancement Request number 11809111 created to allow the expense type for the asset clearing account in WebADI.

14. How to enter formulas in Fixed Assets' Web ADI spreadsheets?

A. 1. Navigate to Fixed Assets > Mass Additions > Addition Integrator and open the spreadsheet for the book. 2. Unprotect the worksheet and set the format to 'general' instead of 'text' for the columns where the formula needs to be used. 3. Save the changes.

15. Why does Web ADI now requires the location flexfield to be entered, while client/server ADI did not require this?
A. The location flexfield is required since there is an option for uploading to data set to the POST queue and automatically initiate Mass Additions Post. Leaving the field null will result in a failure in that program.So it is Standard functionality.
